It's another gold for Team GB! It was guaranteed a while ago but Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark have crossed the finishing line to confirm it. It's Team GB's 21st gold of the Summer Games and Britain's second of the day. Rule Britannia!
Great Britain's Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark have brought their 470 partnership to a dream end by wrapping up Olympic gold.
Four years on from taking silver on the home waters of Weymouth and Portland, the duo arrived in Brazil determined to go one better.
It was a challenge Mills and Clark met with aplomb, producing an opening series as impressive as it was consistent to see them head into the women's 470 medal race all but assured of gold.
The British duo merely had to complete the double-point medal race without disqualification and duly did so, easing home in eighth in the delayed finale to rubber-stamp glory. (Simon Peach in Rio)
Taekwondo: A flurry of kicks land on Glasnovic, but she responds well by connecting with Jones' head.

She progresses with a substantial 9-4 lead after a composed duel with Sweden's Glasnovic.

The rapidly unravelling story of the Rio Games is the one concerning US swimmers Ryan Lochte, Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and James Feigen. The United States Olympic Committee have confirmed that the alleged armed robbery story was indeed a cover-up used by Lochte and Feigen, and criminal charges could follow. Here's the latest:
There's been a worrying developments in terms of the Zika virus...
In one of the funnier stories emerging from the Olympics, here's Kuwait's Abdullah al-Rashidi, wearing an Arsenal shirt due to his participation for the International Team after Kuwait's ban from Rio 2016. And in true Arsenal fashion, he managed to finish third in the men's skeet. You couldn't script it any better.
