Duncan Scott missed out on his first chance to burnish his status as Britain's most decorated Olympic swimmer after Team GB finished fifth in the men's 4x100m freestyle relay.

The 27-year-old from Alloa swam the third leg but was unable to retrieve the damage done by Britain finishing the opening leg in last place.

Scott will have further to add to his tally in the 200m freestyle, the 200m individual medley and the 4x200m freestyle relay later in the meet.

It wasn’t to be for Keanna MacInnes in the women’s 100m butterfly semi-finals.

The 22-year-old, out in lane eight, came in just slower than the Scottish record she set in the heats, touching in 58:11 to finish in eighth place.

Keanna MacInnes will be happy with her morning's work.

She successfully navigated her way through the women's 100m butterfly heats.

The 22-year-old's time of 57.90 seconds not only saw her squeak through to tonight's semi final, it also represented a PB and a Scottish record - good work all round.

While it wasn't to be for Seonaid McIntosh in the 10m Air Rifle mixed team event on Saturday, this remains an Olympics that could yet yield plenty for the Scot.

McIntosh and partner Michael Bargeron were unable to progress beyond the qualification stage, but while she may be disappointed she was far from dispirited.

“It wasn't my best shooting ever, but not my worst either – so happy with it," she said.

“We went in thinking nothing major was going to happen and saw it as a bit of a warm-up for both of us. Hopefully, it’s helped us get a bit of the nerves out."

A world champion and world number one at that, McIntosh is strongly fancied to be challenging for top spot on the podium - and that would certainly be the perfect way to banish any blues from her opening outing.
