    Swimming

    If you missed it earlier, GB's Jack Burnell looked to have won a bronze medal in a confusing, mixed-up finish to the 10km open water swim.

    But he was subsequently disqualified for two yellow cards and he pulled no punches in his assessment: "This is meant to be the pinnacle of our sport and there are referees who haven't a clue what they are doing."

    Sir Matthew Pinsent has a bit more detail...

    One day I will stop taking pictures of people in silly hats, but that day is not today. I'm thinking exhibition, I'm thinking a New York art gallery, I'm thinking big.

    Spectators are certainly in a jovial mood, plenty of dancing going on in the fan park. 

    Oh, hang on, I recognise the start of that intro, it's the YMCA. I'm sorry, I must stop typing. I can't not dance to this. All together now...

    Briton Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, who qualified for the 200m semi-finals, talking to BBC Sport:

    "It was a tough lane but i'm grateful to be here. It's been a good collegiate season (Mitchell-Blake is at theLouisiana State University in the United States) - my coach had a plan. 

    "I'm happy and good right now so that's a main thing. It's another round and a chance to show case to Great Britain what I have."

    Well, from a GB point of view, that was a decent session of 200m heats.

    Adam Gemili, Dan Talbot and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake all qualify for the semi-finals.

    Fastest time of the session goes to Andre de Grasse in 20.09 seconds.

    Usain Bolt ran a pedestrian 20.28 and Justin Gatlin only needed a 20.42 to win his heat.

    The semis are 02:00 on Thursday morning (or Wednesday night, depending on your outlook).

    So, it was a 20.28 from Usain Bolt, who decides to play with his shoelaces post-race.

    Second and through to the semis is Nigeria's Ejowvokoghene Oduduru in 20.34 seconds.

    His was a flat out 20.34 - Bolt's was a cantered 20.28.

    They trailed heavily in the early stages but fought back eventually losing 21-14.

    Still plenty of hope but, for those asking, defeat and Langridge and Ellis will play in the bronze medal match on Thursday.
