Siobhan-Marie O'Connor is getting very close indeed. Silver to Great | :00:07. | :00:17. | |
Britain. Two more silver medals in the pool for Team GB. This is your | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
Olympic Newsround coming to you live from Copacabana beach, here in | :00:25. | :00:25. | |
Brazil. Hello and welcome to a rather wet | :00:26. | :00:40. | |
and very windy and a pretty great Copacabana beach. It is one of the | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
main talking points in this city. People love coming here. But the | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
weather isn't great today and that's because it is winter right here in | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Brazil so it's pretty changeable, and that bad weather has meant that | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
today's rowing events have had to be cancelled which is really | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
disappointing for Team GB, who have quite a few medal hopefuls. It has | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
not dampened the spirits of the swimmers who won silver medals | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
overnight in the men's four by 200 metres relay and in the women's | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
medley with Siobhan-Marie O'Connor. I never thought I would be an | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
Olympic athlete, but if you love something and work hard, that's what | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
I've done and I am just over the moon. Well, fantastic news for her. | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
Hoping to be over the moon is Tour de France winner Chris Froome in the | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
cycling. He's going for gold in the men's time trial. He set off | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
earlier, as did fellow Brit Geraint Thomas. There is still a mystery | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
over what turned the diving pool a murky green colour last night. Some | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
people think it could have been down to algae, or even somebody dying it | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
to match the colour of the Brazil flag. The water was tested and found | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
to be safe for diving to go ahead. Women's weightlifting is happening | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
right about now, featuring one of Team GB's youngest athletes. She is | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
only 17 years old, Rebecca Tyler. We caught up with three of her sister | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
is a little earlier. Hello, I'm Sophie. I'm Emily. And I'm Lisa. Our | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
sister is an Olympic athlete. The best thing about my sister is that | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
she teaches different weightlifting techniques. She looks after us and | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
she is really helpful and kind. And she's just nice to be around. I | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
really miss Rebecca but we stay in touch at least every day. By on the | :02:37. | :02:45. | |
phone, Skype, like different social media. I'm looking forward to her | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
coming home. Our house is really competitive, you can be having | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
breakfast and we are trying to lift each other up and see how many | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
people we can lift up. It's really nice to watch her on TV. She's met | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
Andy Murray, Nicola Evans and everybody. I'm a bit jealous she is | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
over there getting to see all the stars and stuff. When I'm watching | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
her I feel a bit nervous for her. And it's just Carey watching in case | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
she misses out, but she never really does. I'm hoping that Rebecca is | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
going to get gold. Good luck, Rebecca. Thanks, girls, and good | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
luck to Rebecca. Joining me here now is see BBC's Steve Banks show. Thank | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
you for joining us. Helen, your fiance, is taking but in the | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Olympics, what is she doing? She's a row in the women's pair. She is | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
defending champion here. At the moment it's really frustrating | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
because winds mean that the rowing events have had to be cancelled so | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
they are very much on edge. Psyched up and raring to race and at the | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
moment it's not happening. She won gold at London 2012, what is it like | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
supporting her and being out here? It's terrifying, I hate it. It's so | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
stressful because you know how much the athletes have gone through to | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
get here and how much it means to win gold. Something as simple as the | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
weather can throw a spanner in the works. Will they be in action | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
tomorrow? That is the hope but the weather is also forecast to be bad. | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
Somehow this regatta is going to have to be packed into a couple of | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
days. I thought it would always be sunny and bright here. Have you | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
spotted any wildlife? You cannot miss it. There are at least four or | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
five species of stunning birds we can see now. So yeah, it's | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
fantastic. And algae in the water, is that why the pool went green? I | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
would say so. In a warm and humid environment you can develop algae | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
very quickly if you do not use the right chemicals. Best of luck to | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
Helen Glover tomorrow, we wish her all the best. Thanks for talking to | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
Newsround. See you very soon, goodbye. | :04:59. | :05:01. |
