Day two of the Rio Olympic Games saw Team GB win their first medals as Adam Peaty secured gold in the 100m breaststroke with a dominant world record display, while Jazz Carlin won silver in the women's 400m freestyle final. The second day has also brought a blanket ban for Russia from the Paralympic Games in Rio over state-sponsored doping reports. Follow the latest here.

Men's road race: Greg van Avermaet is Olympic road race champion!

Jack de Menezes6 August 2016 19:40

The best that can be hoped after a brutal day in the Olympic saddle is that Chris Froome recovers sufficiently before Wednesday’s time trial and Geraint Thomas has rapidly-renewing skin after a tumble 11 kms from home cruelly robbed him of a road race medal.

Thomas eventually made it across the line in tenth, one place ahead of Froome. Kevin Garside reports:

Swimming: Katinka Hosszu could break the record in the women's 400m individual medley final tonight, according to Australian Blair Evans.

"Obviously I saw Katinka pass me on the way through, so I know she's going to go fast. She'll break the world record tonight," she said.

"I try to block everyone and swim my own race, but I knew she was there and I knew she was going to go fast."

Day one review: In a country as busy, vibrant, controversial and colourful as Brazil, the Rio Olympic Games were never going to get off to a quiet start – and they didn’t disappoint on that count on Saturday.

Day one threw up heart-warming moments, heart-stopping moments and heart-wrenching moments, too, from a home point of view as Chris Froome and Co failed to kick off Team GB’s medal count as they came up short in the men’s road race.

Perhaps the happiest tale of the day was that of swimmer Yusra Mardini who is representing the Refugee team under the Olympic flag and won her 100m butterfly heat to huge cheers in the pool at the Aquatics Stadium in Rio. Allow Matt Gatward to guide you through

A busy, vibrant, controversial and colourful start to the Olympics - as you would expect from Brazil

Samuel Stevens7 August 2016 00:49

What else is going on today?

Away from the cycling, swimming and rowing, there's plenty of other action happening today. Boxing, judo, rugby sevens and beach volleyball all continue after getting underway on day one, while the second round of men's football fixtures take place across Brazil. however, what about the lesser known sports?

There's something for everyone at the Olympics, as the fencing, table tennis and handball competitions unfold, with medals up for grabs in the fencing men's foil.

However, one of the sports first up today - due to the rowing delay - will be archery, with the women's team event taking place today. Reigning champions South Korea are guaranteed a quarter-final berth along with China, Russia and Chinese Taipei, while Mexico and Japan have joined them after seeing off Georgia and Ukraine in the first round. Hosts Brazil are currently in action against Italy, before India take on Colombia.

Judo: Disappointment in the men's 66kg for Team GB's Colin Oates, as he loses his round of 32 clash in sudden death against Killian Le Blouch by virtue of being penalised three times.

Jack de Menezes7 August 2016 15:12

Fencing: Some good news in from the piste - no, not the slopes of the Alps - but from the Fencing Arena, where Britain's Richard Kruse has gone one better than his London 2012 campaign in reaching the last-16 of the men's individual foil, matching his Beijing 2008 performance.

Jack de Menezes7 August 2016 17:11

Women's rugby sevens: It's three from three for Team GB as Emily Scarratt scores two second-half tries to secure an impressive 22-0 victory over third seeds Canada, meaning they progress to the quarter-finals as Pool C winners and will likely face Fiji for a place in the last four.
