Men's pommel horse

We've around 15 minutes to wait until Max Whitlock defends his pommel horse Olympic title.

He made history five years ago, when - in winning both pommel horse and floor gold - he became Team GB's first ever gold medallist in artistic gymnastics.

In Tokyo, he has chosen to focus on just the pommel horse, the apparatus on which he is a three-time world champion.

“The pressure has completely rocketed through the roof,” Whitlock said earlier this year.

“Knowing that if do not come back from Tokyo with a gold medal around my neck, people will feel like I haven’t done my job properly. That’s quite tough.”

Alexander Zverev looks to be flying towards the Olympic gold medal.

After winning the first set 6-3, he leads the second set 3-0.

There's only one place to start, a place of flips, tricks and gold joy for GB...

Shortly after that lovely BMX gold, Team GB put a silver on the board in the pool...

Then Ben Whittaker guaranteed himself at least a silver as he reached his boxing final...

But not everything has been so lovingly spirited. Things got a bit controversial in the boxing ring....

Thanks Ben, and hello everyone. Happy Sunday!

I hope you have zero plans for the next few hours other than lying on the sofa watching the Olympics. Because why would you want to do anything else?

Right, after that engrossing golf, I'm off to get a drink and will leave you in the capable hands of Katie, who'll tell you what else you've missed on day nine and guide you through the rest of today's gymnastics...

Team GB's European champion medallist Emily Godley sits top of the pile after the women's 76kg lifts.

Godley's combined total of 222kg across the snatch and clean and jerk was the best of the Group B lifters, but we'll have to wait for the eight athletes from the elite Group A to lift (from 11:50) to see where she ends up in the shuffle.

More now from Rory McIlroy, who said he didn't expect how big golf at the Olympics would be.

"This isn't just another golf tournament, it's much bigger than that, and I didn't realise that until I got here.

"Golf has it's Olympic Games four times a year (the majors) but this has a different feeling. I'm excited for what's ahead for my next Olympic experience."

World number five Alexander Zverev of Germany has the early advantage in the men's singles gold medal match after taking the opening set against Russian Karen Khachanov.

Zverev secured it 6-3 on his second set point.

American Cup winning artistic gymnast on BBC Radio 5 Live

A quick word from Katelyn Ohashi about Team GB gymnast Max Whitlock, who is in the final of the pommel horse (from 10:41 BST) and will go first of the eight gymnasts.

"I would defiantly want to to later because in my opinion, even though it's nice to get it over with but I feel like the scoring is a little bit more lenient.

"It gets a little bit higher as the rotation goes on and you also don't have to sit there and wait for other scores to come in all nervous."

From the Aquatics Centre to the Gymnastics Centre, where Artem Dolgopyat has won Israel's first Olympics gymnastics title by taking gold in the men's floor exercise.

Rayderley Zapata of Spain finished second for the silver and China's Xiao Ruoteng took the bronze.

Russian Nikita Nagornyy opened the final with his new triple back pike but stumbled out of bounds and in the end finished with the seventh best score.

I need a breather after that... where's my knitting bag?

Here's Rory McIlroy, who just missed out on a bronze.

"I've never tried so hard in my life to finish third! It's not a position that I find myself in very often.

"The nice consolation is it's not going to be my last chance, I'll be back in Paris in three years 'time and will give it my all.

"It wasn't quite meant to be but I'm looking forward to having a crack at it again.

"It's been a great experience and a great week, I just wish that I had left with a bit of hardware."

What a nail-biter. I did NOT expect that when I started watching the golf today.

If there are still any arguments about whether golf should be in the Olympics...

Bring on the women's event! That starts tomorrow at the Kasumigaseki Country Club.

Collin Morikawa's putt was never going to make it, so CT Pan will win bronze here if he can sink this tricky putt for par...

And it drops, great effort. Worthy of a medal that. It's Chinese Taipei's eighth medal of the Tokyo Games.

This is Collin Morikawa about to play out of the bunker...

And he does well to gouge it out and onto the edge of the green for a chance to make par.

CT Pan rolls his third shot onto the green but has left himself with plenty to do to make par.

Hope still for Collin Morikawa?

It's a decent effort out of the rough by CT Pan, just to the edge of the green, but Collin Morikawa manages to find a bunker.

And check out this lie... try playing out of that!

It's advantage Collin Morikawa in this battle for bronze. CT Pan's tee shot has dropped into the rough.

The American is on the edge of a bunker but has a much better lie.
