Great work from Bradly Sinden, the 22-year-old world champion accelerates away to take this one 39-19 against Turkey's Hakan Recber to reach the Olympic semi-finals. The gold medal dream is alive!

Bradly Sinden stems a little bit of momentum Hakan Recber was starting to build, sending the Turkish competitor to the floor, but the gap is narrowed to 19-12 at the end of the second round. The Brit stills leads.

There's some bad blood between these two.

It's worked perfectly, they made it nasty, they've made it ugly.

Bradly Sinden opens a 14-3 lead, a good start for the 22-year-old looking to become the first male British Olympic Taekwondo champion.

Vault qualifying safely negotiated for Simone Biles.

She goes slightly offline in her first effort and is not totally happy. It still scores a superb 14.966 though

Second one is better - no smiles from Biles this time either with her 15.400 score.

That makes it 15.193 overall for top spot as it stands and she is into another final.

A huge moment for 22-year-old Bradly Sinden, who is about to face Hakan Recber for a place in the semi-finals of the men's -68kg category...

Here's that victory for Great Britain's Ben Whittaker earlier, which sealed him a last-16 place.

Sadly no medal for Great Britain in this women's synchronised 3m springboard as Grace Reid and Katherine Torrance finish sixth in the final.

China won gold, while Canada and Germany won silver and bronze respectively.

Geraint Thomas on Saturday, Annemiek van Vleuten today - both crashed in Rio five years ago and have suffered the same fate in Japan.

The Dutch rider was involved in a fall with Denmark's Emma Jorgensen but both are now chasing to rejoin the peloton. The gap to the leaders is now under eight minutes as they climb Fuji Sanroku.

Simone Biles' team-mate Jade Carey has thrown down the gauntlet with a superbly confident floor routine.

Carey scores 14.100 for the third-highest score overall behind Ferrari (14.166) and Biles (14.133).

Incidentally, Biles was penalised 0.3 for the bounce-out in her routine but her level of difficulty is so much higher than her rivals.

Jade Jones still has a medal chance...

Refugee Olympic team athlete Kimia Alizadeh Zenoorin, who the British athlete lost to in the opening round, has defeated 2019 world bronze medallist Lijun Zhou of China to reach the -57kg semi-finals.

Should she win that, then Jones will enter the first round of the repechage and has a chance of winning the bronze medal. That phase begins around 11:00 BST.

The power that Simone Biles generates in her tumbling is phenomenal.

Simone Biles is back with a bouncy start in her floor qualifying.

She puts in a superb tumbling display and even bounced out of the competition area at one point, which will mean a deduction. But her routine is so much more technical than her rivals.

She scores 14.133 - and goes into second overall behind Italy's Vanessa Ferrari who scored 14.166 earlier.

There was also this incredible effort from the women's Australian 4x100 freestyle relay team, setting a new world record in Tokyo, as you can see below...

If you're just catching up with what happened in the early hours of this morning, here's a quick look...

• Two-time Olympic taekwondo champion Jade Jones lost her round of 16 match with Kimia Alizadeh, ending her hopes of winning a third gold in Tokyo.
• Two-time defending champion Andy Murray has withdrawn from the men's singles with a minor thigh strain.
• Also in the tennis, Australia's world number one and recent Wimbledon champion Ashleigh Barty is out in the first round of the women's singles.
• World record holder and Olympic champion Adam Peaty breezed into the 100m breaststroke final in a time of 57.63.
• US golfer Bryson DeChambeau is out of the Olympics after testing positive for Covid-19.
• And 18-year-old Tunisian Ahmed Hafnaoui won a superb gold in the men’s 400m freestyle.

The riders have just negotiated the descent from the Kagosaka Pass and have 70km remaining, with the breakaway group now cut to three - Israel's Omer Shapira, Austria's Anna Kiesenhofer and Poland's Anna Plichta.

The peloton, and GB's Lizzie Deignan, have swallowed up the two-person chasing pack and are now just over nine minutes off the leaders.

The first of five rounds of the women's synchronised 3m springboard has just been completed with Britain's pair of Grace Reid and Katherine Torrance currently sixth out of eight after scoring 46.80.

China lead the way in these early stages after scoring 49.80.

Simone Biles is posting new skills all over the place and just seems to be getting better and better.

If this is her Olympic swansong, she will go out with a bit of a bang. I'm super-excited to see what she is going to do. Her floor and vault are exceptional.

She's got such a huge following, everyone wants to see how she is will fare.

Here's some reaction after Great Britain's Ben Whittaker got the split decision win over Jorge Luis Vivas of Colombia to reach the last 16 in the men's light heavyweight competition.

"It's about fight management, it's about tournament management, it's about pacing yourself, it's about looking good enough and no need to be sensational.

"Ben Whittaker in 2018 had a terrible Commonwealth Games, he was at middleweight and was really draining himself to make the 75 kilo limit.

"He moved up 81 different man, got medals in the two major tournaments in 2019, was seeded high for the first qualifier in London.

"He's cruised through now."

There are a few well recognised signs that prove you are a sporting icon.

A statue in your home town, maybe a fancy title, or perhaps a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

But in the 21st century, another is getting your own official Twitter emoji.

American four-time Olympic gymnastics champion Simone Biles has become the first female athlete to have the honour bestowed upon her.

And of course, it's a goat.
