    The Americans are not having a good race. That is the one positive.

    It is all being turned on its' head.

  2. GB sixth at 1000m

    Rowing

    Great Britain are yet to make an inroads on the race. They have drifted out to almost three seconds off the pace.

    They will need some serious lactic meltdowns in the boats ahead of them.

  3. Women's eight final

    The Canadians have gone out quick.

    That is my one concern.

  4. GB sixth at 500m

    Rowing

    Canada are really pushing this out. They are in the lead at 500m with Great Britain back in sixth, 2.33 seconds off the pace.

    Great Britain have finished strongly in their heats. They are going to have to again.

  5. Women's eight final

    Rowing

    We are go in a splatter of blades.

    The pace is furious with the Canadians leading it out.

  6. 'Dad will have the best view'

    Women's eight final

    Alistair Magowan
    BBC Sport in Rio

    Despite winning the European title in May, the GB women's eights have had a trying season where at one point double scullers Katherine Grainger and Vicky Thornley tried to pinch a place in their boat. 

    But spare a thought for Fran Houghton. She is competing in her fifth Olympics, and while she was testing to see if she was good enough to remain in the eights, she also lost her father to cancer. 

    She told BBC Sport: "The rowing helped me get through that tough time at home, but, in a way, my dad also helped me get through the challenging time in the rowing by keeping things in perspective. It made me realise I do really want to be here in Rio because I could have made the choice to leave the sport.

    "I knew that's what he wanted me to do. He's come to every Olympics, but now he will have the best view and be able to see it all, and that's wonderful." 

  7. Coming up: Women's eight final

    Rowing

    The United States are going for a third straight Olympic title, but Great Britain's crew - fourth in the world championships in 2015 - will be sniffing around for a podium finish.

    Watch out for Romania as well.

  8. Football

    You might have to click through a link below to get there, but this is a lovely little vignette from the women's football last night. 

    Proper Chuckle Brothers-level slapstick.

    Athletics stadium.

    If you're a football fan, this stadium is home to Botafogo. I'm not sure what state the pitch will be in soon after a deluge of javelin and shot and discus punishment but hey, we've got to have our fun for a few days right?

    This crowd looks better than that of yesterday. Some guy called Usain Bolt is running soon. Maybe that has something to do with it.

    At ease people, 'soon' is relative. 16:00 BST is the start of the men's 100m first round.

  12. Gold Medal - Kimberley Brennan (Aus)

    Women's single sculls

    Australia's Kim Brennan caps two dominant years in the category with the Olympic gold she was seeking.

    Behind her Genevra Stone of the United States takes silver with China's Jingli Duan third.

  13. Rowing

    Gold medal winner Mahe Drysdale on BBC One: "It was painful. I got a good lead and thought I was comfortable but he started to close me down and I had to pull a sprint out. It was an agonising wait to the finish.

    "I had no idea (if I'd won). I didn't even look I just knew I had to cross the line.

    "If they can't separate us maybe there is a case for both of us getting gold medals."

  14. What a race, what a finish

    Tie

    My eyes must be deceiving me! Having walked down towards the finish for the final of the men's single sculls, which was probably the best race we have seen all week, I thought Croatia's Damir Martin had taken that. 

    Not many races get decided by millimetres but New Zealand's Mahe Drysdale defends his Olympic crown by the narrowest of margins. 

  15. Rowing

    Sir Steve Redgrave
    Five-time Olympic rowing champion on BBC TV

    I don't understand. We don't get dead heats. If they can separate it on a photograph then they have got to be able to separate it on time.

    What an amazing race.

  16. Men's single sculls final

    Rowing

    James Cracknell
    Double Olympic Rowing gold medallist

    Make them do it again!

  17. Hang on....

    Result

    They have been given the same time but it turns out Martin will be given the silver medal... 

    The organisers here at the Lagoa stadium showed the times on the big screens but only to the hundredths of a second.

    Drysdale of New Zealand takes the gold after a photo finish. 

    Anyone else confused?

  18. Gold Medal

    Men's single sculls

    WOW

    Damir Martin and Mahe Drysdale are the Olympic Champions... 

    We have a dead heat

    Martin looked like he was going to steal title off Mahe Drysdale.

    Well that is an unexpected result in the men's single sculls. 

    Wait a second.....

  19. Men's single sculls final

    Rowing

    It looks like the medals have been decided as New Zealand's Mahe Drysdale hits the front.  

    But Damir Martin of Croatia is looking like he is challenge for the title...

  20. 'He has so much in the tank'

    Track Cycling

    Sir Chris Hoy
    Six-time Olympic cycling champion on BBC One

    Jason Kenny had so much spare in the tank. He is showing he has so much confidence. You try to get through without wasting too much energy and that's what Jason has done. 

    It wasn't as close as it looked for Callum Skinner. He didn't panic and you could see the pace he had from the last corner.
