Great Britain's rowers have won gold and silver at the Rio Games.

:00:21.:00:26.

The men's eight won a convincing race at the Olympic lake this

:00:27.:00:28.

afternoon, moments after the women's eight had themselves claimed silver.

:00:29.:00:32.

Team GB currently sit third in the medals table.

:00:33.:00:35.

Last night, Sir Bradley Wiggins became the most decorated

:00:36.:00:37.

British Olympian of all time after winning gold in the velodrome.

:00:38.:00:39.

Could it be another Super Saturday? On the rowing lake, time for the big

:00:40.:00:57.

boats. The men's eight, and after bronze at London 2012, a winning

:00:58.:01:02.

performance. Britain led from start to finish. Their arrivals began

:01:03.:01:07.

closing in but it was too little, too late. And it is Great Britain in

:01:08.:01:12.

the men's eight, the Olympic champions. The world champions and

:01:13.:01:16.

now at the Olympic champions after a dominant and dazzling display. That

:01:17.:01:22.

was the angriest, the fiercest, most ruthless, everything. It was very

:01:23.:01:29.

aggressive. That was a fist fight. It was really good. Moments earlier,

:01:30.:01:33.

there had been a first-ever British medal in the women's eight, as they

:01:34.:01:37.

surged through for silver in a photo finish. Another moment to treasure

:01:38.:01:44.

for British rowing. Last night had been about the cyclists and the

:01:45.:01:49.

inimitable Sir Bradley Wiggins. He has always been his own man, but his

:01:50.:01:54.

record-breaking eighth medal was about 18. With Ed Clancy, Steven

:01:55.:01:58.

Burke and Owen Doyle, they were pushed to the limit by Australia but

:01:59.:02:03.

held on for history. Will it be Britain? Will it be Australia? It

:02:04.:02:07.

certainly will be Great Britain! The last 12 months, we have pretty much

:02:08.:02:11.

done everything together, training camps at altitude, early morning

:02:12.:02:15.

starts on the track, late finishes before Christmas Day, all for this.

:02:16.:02:21.

And another British medal soon followed. Jazz Carlin. Neither she

:02:22.:02:26.

nor anyone else could get remotely close to the peerless Katie did

:02:27.:02:31.

decade. The American claiming her fourth gold of the games. -- Katie

:02:32.:02:35.

Littlewood is. A second silver for Jazz Carlin. She nearly retired

:02:36.:02:40.

after missing London 2012. Good thing she didn't. Also in the pool,

:02:41.:02:43.

Michael Phelps, chasing a 23rd Olympic title. But for once, it did

:02:44.:02:51.

not quite follow the script. In a 3-way tie for silver, behind

:02:52.:02:56.

Singapore's Jozsef School in. It was a case of fan beating he wrote. As a

:02:57.:03:01.

youngster, Schooling and his photo taken with Michael Phelps. Now he

:03:02.:03:04.

has defeated him on the biggest stage of all. In the athletics,

:03:05.:03:12.

others are going for glory. Jessica Ennis-Hill, leading the heptathlon

:03:13.:03:15.

overnight in today's first event, the long jump. A solid six metres

:03:16.:03:21.

34. Could it be called once again? The first appearance of the biggest

:03:22.:03:26.

star of these games, Usain Bolt, in the 100 metres heats. The defending

:03:27.:03:29.

champion safely through to the next round and what promises to be a day

:03:30.:03:36.

of sporting drama. And there could be more of that drama here at the

:03:37.:03:41.

velodrome later on because after Sir Bradley Wiggins and the men's team

:03:42.:03:45.

pursuit last night, it is Laura Trott and the women's team pursuit.

:03:46.:03:49.

They are the defending champions, setting a new world record in the

:03:50.:03:54.

semifinals. It could be another gold night here for Team GB.

:03:55.:03:57.

And there's plenty of action in the Olympic stadium this evening

:03:58.:03:59.

It is Super Saturday, or super early Sunday for you in the UK. We have

:04:00.:04:13.

just had the fifth event of seven in the heptathlon and it has gone OK

:04:14.:04:16.

for Great Britain. Katarina Johnson-Thompson is up to third in

:04:17.:04:20.

the overall standings with Jessica Ennis-Hill dropping down to second.

:04:21.:04:24.

But obviously there is the javelin and the 800 metres still to come.

:04:25.:04:28.

The crowd, it has been a fantastic atmosphere, better than yesterday.

:04:29.:04:33.

They saw the world's fastest man, Usain Bolt, and Justin Gatlin, both

:04:34.:04:38.

breezing through to the semifinals of the 100 metres. In terms of

:04:39.:04:43.

British success, it is all about Greg Rutherford at midnight tonight,

:04:44.:04:48.

going for gold in the long jump. And Mo Farah defending his title in the

:04:49.:04:51.

men's 10,000 metres, swiftly followed by the end of the

:04:52.:04:55.
