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.
