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.
