If you head on over to the BBC Sport Facebook page,, external you'll soon see a Facebook live with Great Britain's bronze medallist in the hammer, Sophie Hitchon. Enjoy.

Callum Skinner never got into a position to challenge there. Too much chaos and confusion in front of him as Sam Webster and the Netherlands Matthijs Buchli book automatic spots in the second round.

Can Jason Kenny take the short route?

He is up against Max Levy of Germany among others.

Britain's Chris O'Hare has qualified fourth for the men's 1,500m semi-final.

He had a couple of nasty trips in the middle there but didn't panic, held his nerve through the back straight and finishes in 3:39.26. 

Team mate Charlie Grice is in heat two coming up... 

The gap between leader Jarrod Poort and the chasing pack has come down to about 40.4 seconds at the 7.48km mark. Reigning champion Oussama Mellouli, of Tunisia, is second, with Briton Jack Burnell third.

Callum Skinner is in the third of four heats in the keirin first round.

The Scot has been landed in with some quality sprinters including France's Francois Pervis and New Zealand's Sam Webster.

Only two to go through automatically, with a repechage for the best of the rest.

Here we go.

Four-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Ben Ainslie says fellow sailor Giles Scott can dominate the sport's Finn class for as long as he wants to. 

Scott will be crowned Olympic champion and Great Britain's fifth successive winner on Tuesday after the medal race. 

Weymouth-based Scott, 29, will become part of Ainslie's BAR Land Rover America's Cup team in 2017.

Britain's Eilish McColgan has qualified for the 5,000m final and has said she is "over the moon" with how she ran. 

"There were a couple of times where I thought we were going to go down as there were a lot of people falling. I just stuck in though, I wanted it so badly, it's really difficult to describe because it's just been so hard to get here. 

"The aim was to make that final so to be honest there is absolutely no pressure on me now."

Unfortunately, team-mate Steph Twell didn't make the final as she only managed to be the sixth fastest loser. The first five make it. 

Nicola Adams got a first-round bye but will start the defence of her Olympic flyweight title at 15:00 BST today.

The 33-year-old, who won the first gold medal in Olympic women's boxing history at London 2012, will fight Tetyana Kob, 28, of Ukraine.

Can she turn around the faltering fortunes of Team GB's boxing team?

Can Jarrod Poort maintain his advantage through to the end?

"No" says Keri-Anne Payne, but her husband and fellow London Olympian David Carry thinks he can.

"It will be difficult as the rest of the pack will speed up and it'll be interesting to see if he's already burnt up all of his speed, but the pack aren't working together and that could help Poort

The gap is coming down very quickly between the leader Jarrod Poort and the chasing group, which includes Briton Jack Burnell. If they catch him it is all up for grabs, including gold.

Germany's Kristina Vogel and the Netherlands' Elis Ligtlee - winner of keirin gold - also pick up wins in the first heats of their sprint quarter-finals.

The second heats will be coming up shortly.

Now though the men's keirin...

After carving up the sprint gold-medal race between themselves Jason Kenny and Callum Skinner go in heats four and three respectively.

Into the 5,000m final from the second heat are:

Almaz Ayana of Ethiopia - her time - 15:04.35

Senbere Teferi - Ethiopia 

Vivian Cheruiyot - Kenya

Karoline Grovdal - Norway

Eilish McColgan - Great Britain

Unfortunately Steph Twell doesn't make the final as she is the sixth fastest loser. 

She spoke to Phil Jones afterwards. 

"I need to be hard on myself today. Training has been going amazing. It's a really hard on to stomach. I worked well but I got tripped in the race and I think I lost my momentum and I just couldn't quite recover it"

Romanian gymnast Catalina Ponor finished without a medal in Rio which, according to Romanian news outlet Libertatea, external, was the first time in 44 years that Romania has not won an Olympic medal in gymnastics.

Romanians went online to back Ponor, with one saying: "Congratulations anyway, [she] had an exceptional career. The condition of gymnastics cannot be put [blamed] on the gymnasts, they are poor pawns.

"When you're not capable of having a coherent medium and long-term development plan, even without shining financial backing… you can't have demands."

Another said, external: "We are reaping the fruits of investments in sports in the last 26 years. Thank you to our [parliamentary] immune lawmakers."

Other Romanians praised Ponor as a role model, external: "Congratulations Catalina for your presence in the final, for being a role model for the younger generations, for your whole career!"

There's a giant Welsh flag hanging from the railings at the velodrome, standing out from all the rest. It must mean Becky James' supporters are out in force once again, and they'll be satisfied as the 24-year-old, already a silver medallist at these Games, beats China's Tianshi Zhong in the first heat of the women's sprint quarter-finals.

No messing around from defending champion Christian Taylor (above) who leaps 17.86m in the first round to take the lead in the men's triple jump final.

Fellow American Will Claye responds with a new personal best but his distance of 17.76 is only good enough for the silver medal position.

There's one for your I-Spy track cycling book.

Katy Marchant goes from way, way out, feinting, dummying and then suddenly spurting past a flat-footed Simona Krupeckaite of Lithuania.

Marchant gets out of slip-stream range and wins by a street.

A great start to the afternoon by Great Britain.
