Morning, Ayshah here with Tuesday's Newsround. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Coming your way over the next few minutes... | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Meet the dancing weightlifter making everyone smile in Rio. | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
There were more medals for Team GB at the Rio Olympics yesterday - | :00:13. | :00:29. | |
one of each colour - a gold, a silver and a bronze to add | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
It means Team GB still sit second in the medals table behind the USA. | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
Here's Ricky with a round-up of what happened. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
It's one of the hottest days here inside the Olympic Park in Rio | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
and after a fantastic weekend, let's find out how Team | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Let's turn our attention to dressage, where Team GB got | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
Charlotte duJardin and her horse impressed the judges | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
I am so happy, it's been a dream come true, for me to come | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
here and defend my title from London is just absolutely incredible. | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
So if Charlotte got a medal, what did Valegro get? | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
He got lots of sugar, he loves sugar cubes, | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
He got a lot of apples, he will have a lot of | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
carrots tonight as well, he gets lots of treats! | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
Cyclist Mark Cavendish got his first ever Olympic medal, | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
He scoops up the final point on offer. | :01:37. | :01:47. | |
Think of it as the pentathlon of cycling, it's | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
Sophie Hitchon, used to be a ballet dancer, made history for Team GB, | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
winning bronze in the hammer, she threw a new British record | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
of 74.54 metres, about the same length of four bowling alleys! | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
To see the number three there and the national record, | :02:05. | :02:13. | |
I couldn't be happier, my coach has stuck with me | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
through the bad times and now the good times. | :02:18. | :02:28. | |
GB's women beat Spain 3-1 to get through to the hockey | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
And in gymnastics, Team USA's Simona Boils, finished third | :02:31. | :02:44. | |
finished third on the bin, she added bronze to her goals. | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
I think the answer still pretty good. | :02:48. | :02:48. | |
We would love you to come on our show. | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
Thanks Ricky, well let's take a quick look at some of the other | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
This really heavy rain in Rio put a stop to some | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
Events like the men's pole vault and women's discus were affected. | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
The end of this race was something else. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
Shaunae Miller from the Bahamas in the Caribbean, crossed the line, | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
She dived to finish ahead of the American, Alison Felix. | :03:16. | :03:27. | |
She is now Olympic champion. What a way to | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
And some would say that finishing in sixth place | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
Weightlifter David Katoatau busted a move | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
after he finished his last lift at the games. | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
Next to the country of Australia, where it's been revealed | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
that the whole country has moved north by a metre and a half | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Confused? I've been looking into it. | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
Australia is a country on the move, no seriously - | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
It's only shifting at about 7cm every year which is about the same | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
But the reason it's moving is all to do with the way | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
It might look like one giant rock, but it's actually made up | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
The ground we stand on is called the crust and it's made | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
of huge slabs of rock called tectonic plates. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
They float on top of a different layer of hot molten rock, | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
But over long periods of time these floating plates move around and maps | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
That's because they work using satellites to work out | :04:28. | :04:37. | |
where something is using a set of coordinates called | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
Latitude goes this way, longitude goes this way | :04:41. | :04:51. | |
So if you want to tell someone where you are on earth, | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
you can tell them your latitude and longitude number. | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
But because Australia's tectonic plate is moving, | :04:59. | :04:59. | |
its latitude and longitude numbers are now a bit off. | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
Take the famous Sydney Opera House for example - | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
GPS devices say the opera house is here. | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
But actually it's here - about a metre and a half away - | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
Fixing the issue will be a big job - but scientists say it's important | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
Finally, we're used to seeing elephants that look like this | :05:15. | :05:25. | |
However this fella was found in Malaysia | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
in South-East Asia with tusks that point the wrong way. | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
Animal researchers found the elephant when they were trying | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
The 'rare' elephant is now in the Borneo Elephant Sanctuary | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
while they decide where is safe to release him. | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
Thanks for watching, we're back at 4.20 this afternoon. | :05:45. | :05:55. |
