So what was Gwen Jorgensen and Nicola Spirig's mid-race barney about then?

Well, it turned out that defending champion Spirig had started trash-talking midway through the run stage, telling Jorgensen that she had been in an Olympic final before, got the t-shirt and the medal. And the American hadn't.

"That was totally valid," said Jorgensen. "I've now got one - and she's got two." 

Spirig said: "We had some mental games. I tried everything to get her out of the rhythm and make it tough for her but I was prepared for her to run really well.

"I told her after the race that she is really deserving of the gold."  

They're best friends, housemates and GB team-mates, but only one of them could win the bronze medal.

The bittersweet prize went to Vicky Holland. She pipped Non Stanford into third in the women's triathlon and the first thing she did was apologise to her friend. 

The race was won by American world champion Gwen Jorgensen, while Swiss defending champion Nicola Spirig had to settle for silver.

There was a bizarre rift between the two mid-race which is worth a watch...

Today, we spell redemption...

I just smile when I see Mo because all I think about is the 12-year-old boy I met at the London Marathon.

I gave him a medal and said you should keep going, I think you've got a bit of talent. 

And he was like do you think so and I said yeah, I reckon you could do alright. 

You look at him now and that little boy I once met has turned into a global superstar who makes me proud to be British. 

Recognise this guy?

Mo Farah's former PE Teacher Alan Watkinson reflects on the quadruple Olympic gold medallist's early career:

"We were pretty determined to get competitive teams out for the school and it was very obvious that Mo was a very talented runner," Watkinson - who was also Farah's best man - told BBC Breakfast.

"His running style was just effortless. But he was pretty determined to play football, so we had to mix them up and make sure he had his fare share of football so we could get him to run."

Tom Daley wrote a heartfelt message on his Instagram page, external on Saturday, after failing to reach the men's 10m final.

"Truly heartbroken. but I will never give up on my dream of being an Olympic champion. Now it's time to go back to the pool and cheer on Qui Bo to win this one! Massive thank you to everyone who has shared this journey with me."

He's been Britain's golden boy in diving for what seems like forever, but Tom Daley's hopes of an individual medal in Rio were dashed on Saturday.

The 22-year-old suffered a shock elimination in the semi-finals of the 10m platform event.

In an error-strewn display, the 2012 bronze medallist needed 102 points from his closing dive to reach the final but only managed 50.40.

"It's really hard to accept. I've worked so hard," said Daley.

"Yesterday I scored the highest score ever in an Olympic Games. Today it wasn't meant to be. That's what diving does sometimes.

"I truly am heartbroken because I feel like I am in the peak physical condition and I could have won."

Nic K: First day of my holiday- up at 8am for a 50 lap swim in the pool.

South Africa has a new Olympic champion in Caster Semenya.

The 25-year-old won gold in the 800m on Saturday, setting a national record to win in one minute 55.28 seconds and finish well clear of silver medallist Francine Niyonsaba of Burundi.

Semenya has faced continued questions over her eligibility to race after she was subject to gender testing after winning the world title in 2009.

She has since been diagnosed with hyperandrogenism, which means her testosterone levels are far in excess of the vast majority of women.

After the race, she told BBC World Service about what it's like to listen to the criticism:

"They’re building your strength. They’re making you a better person. People should learn how to unite. Sport is all about uniting people and not discriminating. I feel sorry for them."

Ruth Beitia won Spain's seventh gold medal of the Games in the high jump last night.

But her leap of 1.97m was only the third highest by a woman at Rio.

Britain's Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Belgian gold-winner Nafi Thiam both went a centimetre higher in the decathlon.

Time to double up?

This guy can apparently do chin-ups with 90 kilos tied around his body, and is an expert in cocktail making. He's also pretty nifty in a canoe. 

Britain's Liam Heath earned his second medal of the Games by taking gold in the men's K1 200m sprint on Saturday. 

It gives Heath a complete set of Olympic medals. He won silver alongside Jon Schofield in the K2 event on Thursday, adding to the bronze he won in London.

It also makes the 32-year-old Great Britain’s most decorated canoeist.  

Former England captain David Beckham wrote on Instagram: "Congratulations my friend to you and the squad for bringing delight to your country and happiness to a nation that truly loves this game."

Some athletes up their social media output.

Others book in for some chat show appearances.

Denmark's Viktor Axelsen only went and learned Mandarin to make himself more marketable.

After winning bronze with victory over Chinese superstar Lin Dan, Axelsen, 22, gave post-match interviews in the mother tongue of his opponent,, external becoming something of a sensation in China.

“I started to take it up last New Year,” Axelsen said in a Reuters report last March, external. “Coming into 2014 I had a talk with my former coach and he thought it was a good idea to begin learning it.

“I wanted to start something new and ever since it has been a one-way street. I am just getting better with each week and I hope that it will open some doors in Asia with sponsorship and work.”

The 4x400m girls better not be getting any ideas though.

Desiree Henry and Dina Asher-Smith insist that their 4x100m squad - also bronze winners - are the kings of cool in the athletes village.

Here is their Rio postcard.

So, London 2012 was pretty good for Team GB. But they've now officially done better in Rio.

Britain secured their 66th medal on Saturday night to surpass their total from four years ago.

The target was surpassed in the 4x400m relay, when Eilidh Doyle, Anyika Onuora, Emily Diamond and Christine Ohuruogu finished in three minutes 25.88 seconds to win bronze. 

The race was dominated by defending champions USA, who won their sixth consecutive Olympic title, while Jamaica took silver.

Diamond's third leg was a stand-out moment for Britain...
