    Medal races delayed because of light windspublished at 17:17 British Summer Time 15 August 2016

    It's still supposed to be winter here, but it's close to 30 degrees again with very little wind, which is fine for the beach but not so good for sailing.

    As a result, the medal races for the men's Laser and the women's Laser Radial have been delayed. There are seven courses here in Guanabara Bay, but the medal races take place on the Pau de Acucar (Sugar Loaf mountain) course in front of Flamengo beach.

    That means fans get a decent view but it's in a sheltered part of the bay, hence the light winds.  

    GB's Laser world champion Nick Thompson has an outside chance of a medal as he stands sixth overall, whereas Alison Young in the Laser Radial is eighth.

    'We've all had a cry'published at 17:13 British Summer Time 15 August 2016

    Charlotte Dujardin has spoken to the BBC after her dressage performance. She's currently in first place with 93.857%

    "I have just had the best ride. I’ve gone out there and Valegro has given me everything," she said.

    "I felt so emotional doing the last bit. We’ve all had a cry. It’s the most amazing feeling when you go in there and they’ve tried their heart out. 

    "No matter what the outcome I know I have done my best, so has Valegro and I’m so proud of him.

    "I’m happy to go give Valegro some more sugar, some treats and apples. I’m so happy. I feel a little bit overwhelmed with what’s happened. I feel really emotional."

    As Spain's Severo Jesus Jurado Lopez goes at it out in the middle, the Bon Jovi hit 'It's my life' to conclude is a master stroke as the crowd love it.

    A whopping round of applause but the consensus in the media galleries is that Charlotte Dujardin will not be knocked off top spot.

    Isabell Werth of Germany is last up - one to go before her. Werth is seen as the remaining danger but beating the mark of 93.8% is highly unlikely.

    Laura Graves - a beauty technician from the US - goes now.

    Spain's Severo Jesus Jurado Lopez gets a huge round of applause as he finishes his routine. They seemed to like the Bon Jovi conclusion.

    But is it enough with the judges...?

    Well it's enough for third, with 83.553%. ANGRY SCENES AT THE DRESSAGE. The crowd are whistling, they expected a higher score. 

    But what that means is Charlotte Dujardin still leads with two riders left.

    Women's boxing - lightweight second round

    Ireland's Katie Taylor will not retain her Olympic lightweight title after a surprise 2-1 defeat to Finland's Mira Potkonen.

    "It was a very close fight," said Taylor. "It's very hard to talk about. 

    "When you are in the middle of the fight it probably looks very different from the outside. It was a close fight and congratulations to her. But I should really be beating those girls."
