Hi, I'm Ricky and this is your Olympic Newsround.	:00:19.	:00:32.
The big news today is that Sir Bradley Wiggins has become	:00:33.	:00:38.
the greatest British Olympian ever after winning more medals	:00:39.	:00:39.
than any other Team GB athlete in history.	:00:40.	:00:42.
His gold was just one of three Team GB won on day seven.	:00:43.	:00:47.
The velodrome is one of the venues behind me at the Olympic Park.	:00:48.	:00:54.
Really busy yesterday, quiet this morning but how amazing was that.	:00:55.	:00:55.
This is what happened on day seven. Great Britain's rowers won the first	:00:56.	:01:03.
two golds of the day. COMMENTATOR: They have	:01:04.	:01:06.
done it in such style! An absolutely phenomenal	:01:07.	:01:08.
combination. COMMENTATOR: They are	:01:09.	:01:09.
the Olympic champions. They've done it in style again	:01:10.	:01:11.
but that's exactly what we expected. And you can see behind me just over	:01:12.	:01:14.
there the velodrome. The crowds are gathering outside it	:01:15.	:01:21.
and Sir Bradley Wiggins makes his return to the track	:01:22.	:01:25.
in the men's team pursuit. COMMENTATOR: Who can find	:01:26.	:01:28.
the difference, make a move, to take them over	:01:29.	:01:31.
the line in first place? Will it be Britain,	:01:32.	:01:34.
will it be Australia? It certainly will be Great Britain	:01:35.	:01:36.
and it will be Britain Bradley Wiggins with the men's team	:01:37.	:01:39.
pursuit, Team GB have got gold and they've even set	:01:40.	:01:47.
a new world record. Wiggo is now the first Briton to win	:01:48.	:01:49.
eight Olympic medals as Great Britain won a third	:01:50.	:01:53.
gold beating Australia. Instead of tears of joy,	:01:54.	:01:58.
Bradley pulled this silly face The last 12 months we have pretty	:01:59.	:02:00.
much done everything together. Training camps at altitude,	:02:01.	:02:09.
early-morning starts at the track, late finishes at the track	:02:10.	:02:13.
before Christmas Day And another first, this time	:02:14.	:02:16.
for 25-year-old Bryony Page. COMMENTATOR: Lovely style,	:02:17.	:02:23.
lovely control right The first British woman to win	:02:24.	:02:25.
an Olympic trampoline And Bryony's medal was one of three	:02:26.	:02:30.
British silvers yesterday. The others came from swimmer	:02:31.	:02:35.
Jazz Carlin in the 800 metre freestyle and the	:02:36.	:02:38.
equestrian dressage team. But Bryony's was the big	:02:39.	:02:41.
surprise of the day - she's been telling me how	:02:42.	:02:46.
she feels about it. I caught up with her and she was	:02:47.	:02:54.
still on cloud nine. COMMENTATOR: Lots of	:02:55.	:02:58.
energy into that element. It was just incredible, like,	:02:59.	:03:00.
I just, it was absolutely amazing when I found out that I'd	:03:01.	:03:04.
at least got a bronze. COMMENTATOR: Bryony Page steps up	:03:05.	:03:07.
to the podium and accepts an Olympic I didn't expect to win a medal	:03:08.	:03:10.
at all, like, you know, you dream about it and then for it	:03:11.	:03:17.
to actually come true Just an incredible feeling	:03:18.	:03:19.
and you know, it's going to be hard What has it been like the last four	:03:20.	:03:24.
years gearing up for this moment? Yeah, it's been	:03:25.	:03:29.
an enjoyable journey. It's had its ups and downs and it's	:03:30.	:03:33.
been tough but I have done in improving myself as a person,	:03:34.	:03:36.
an athlete and a trampolinist Nutrition, physical fitness,	:03:37.	:03:41.
mental approach, everything, The best performance I've done	:03:42.	:03:50.
all week and all year. And is it something that kids can	:03:51.	:04:01.
just get into quite easily or is it one of those sports which only	:04:02.	:04:08.
certain people are good at it? It's good for spatial awareness	:04:09.	:04:11.
and building up friendships and team Sport has given me so much more	:04:12.	:04:15.
than just medals, it has given me Now earlier this week I caught up	:04:16.	:04:22.
with CBBC presenter Steve Backshall, who's engaged to Team GB rower Helen	:04:23.	:04:35.
Glover. She won gold in the other day and he	:04:36.	:04:49.
said he would cry if she won gold and did he...	:04:50.	:04:52.
The amount of work they put in, the amount of effort,	:04:53.	:04:55.
all those hours getting up on winter mornings when it's freezing cold,	:04:56.	:04:58.
when it's still dark and going out and crashing every single stroke,	:04:59.	:05:01.
it was all about today, it was all about coming	:05:02.	:05:03.
Well, the six medals we won yesterday have rocketed	:05:04.	:05:09.
We now have seven golds, nine silvers and six bronzes.	:05:10.	:05:14.
That puts us in third behind the USA and China.	:05:15.	:05:22.
And we could hopefully add to that total later today because we've got	:05:23.	:05:25.
Super Saturday to look forward to, with loads of medals to be	:05:26.	:05:28.
Reigning heptathlon champ Jessica Ennis-Hill is in the gold	:05:29.	:05:36.
medal position after four events of seven.	:05:37.	:05:38.
Also in action will be 10,000 metre runner Mo Farah and long	:05:39.	:05:41.
All three won golds at London 2012 and will be hoping to do it again.	:05:42.	:05:46.
Well, that's all from me here in Rio.	:05:47.	:05:51.
I'm going to head out into the Olympic Park shortly to get some	:05:52.	:05:57.
more sporting action. Tomorrow we will have plenty more. Hopefully	:05:58.	:06:00.
more medals for Team GB. Goodbye.	:06:01.	:06:01.
