    Team GB divers Jack Laugher (pictured) and Jordan Houlden cruised through the preliminary round of the Olympic men's 3m springboard.

    Needing to be in the top 18 to reach the semi-finals, Laugher finished third with a score of 468.30 and Houlden a place behind with 448.20.

    Laugher achieved the highest score for any individual dive - and one of only two dives to top 90 points - lending credence to his quest to add another medal to the bronze he won in the synchronised 3m springboard earlier in the Olympics.

    Tokyo silver medallist Wang Zongyuan was top qualifier with 530.65, while Chinese compatriot and defending champion Xie Siyi came second with 509.60.

    The semi-finals are scheduled for 09:00 BST on Wednesday.

    Laura Muir is refusing to be drawn on talk about her potential Olympic medal hopes, insisting all she is thinking about is the 1500m semi-final.

    The Scot, who is ranked fourth in the world, coasted through her heat on Tuesday, finishing second in a time of three minutes 58.91 seconds.

    It was an assured start for the Scot, who broke her own British record over the distance in the Diamond League meeting in Paris last month.

    A 1500m silver medallist at the last Olympics, she batted aside any questions about whether she can go one step better this time round.

    "It is so easy to think about the final, but I have got to think about the semi first because that is going to be pretty crazy,” Muir told BBC Sport Scotland.

    “I am really, really relaxed. I have never been in this position before as a reigning Olympic medallist. I have nothing to lose so if I can just enjoy it and stay relaxed, I know I can run fast.”

    Great Britain's team jumping gold medallists Ben Maher, Scott Brash and Harry Charles will all compete for an individual gold on Tuesday.

    Three-time Olympic gold medallist Maher, the defending champion in this event, and his horse Dallas Vegas Batilly progressed to the final despite putting one fence down.

    Meanwhile, Brash and Charles, along with their respective horses Jefferson and Romeo 88, both jumped clear in the qualifying round.

    Victory for Maher would see him become the most successful British equestrian at the Olympics.

    Great Britain's Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix qualified for the women's Olympic individual 10m platform final in Paris but synchro partner Lois Toulson missed out.

    Spendolini-Sirieix, 19, scored an impressive 367.00 to qualify in third place for Tuesday's final but Toulson had an off day and, despite saving her best dive until last, finished in 13th place with 278.50.

    Toulson, 24, was 14.30 points off the qualification places with the top 12 advancing.

    The British pair have already won bronze in the women's synchronised 10m platform.

    Chinese divers Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi qualified in first and second place, respectively.

    Great Britain's Toby Roberts finished third in the Olympic sport climbing boulder semi-final, with compatriot Hamish McArthur eighth to put them in a strong position to qualify for Friday's final.

    The semi-final is split into two elements - boulder and lead - with the second event taking place on Wednesday.

    A maximum of 100 points are available for each of the boulder and lead semi-finals and Roberts, 19, scored 54.1 as McArthur, 23, scored 34.2.

    Climbers must finish inside the top eight to reach Friday's final at Le Bourget.

    Roberts, who won the European qualifying event last year to book his place in Paris, scored a controversial 9.9 of 25 available points on the first boulder after judges deemed he had not held the move for long enough.

    He scored 9.7 and 9.9 on the next two boulders but reached the top of the final boulder to score 24.7 and put himself in a good position to reach the final.

    McArthur competed third in the 20-strong field but managed to hold his position inside the top eight, scoring 9.9, 10.0, 9.3 and 5.0.
