Women's rugby sevens: After a tricky first half, Team GB took advantage of a tiring Brazilian defence to score three more tries in the second half to secure a 29-3 victory. Natasha Hunt scored twice, both of which coming from quick thinking as she took a tap penalty to catch the Brazil defence sleeping, and Jasmine Joyce – the only Welshwoman in the squad – demonstrated her devastating pace to complete the scoring.

Men's road race: Nibali breaks at the front and he has three riders with him - and one of them is Geraint Thomas! They've started to drop the rest of lead pack, altough Greg van Avermeet has just about clung on to make it a five-man group. Froome meanwhile has made his move and caught Adam Yates, but the pair have a minute to claw back if they want a medal.

Men's road race: Nibali is trying to break away at the front but Majka and Henao are sticking with him. If they work together they can guarantee themselves a medal each, and fight out what order in a sprint finish. The second chase group is being led now by Julian Alaphilippe, who rode away from Chris Froome and bridged the gap to the second group who trail the leaders by 15 seconds.
