Leah here, with all the latest from Team GB's best day

:00:09.:00:11.

It is Gold for Great Britain. The berries are in tears!

:00:12.:00:20.

A gold rush for Team GB first in the diving.

:00:21.:00:23.

And another gold in the kayak slalom.

:00:24.:00:26.

And a brilliant bronze for Max Whitlock in the gymnastics.

:00:27.:00:28.

We've got Wonderful Wednesday wrapped up for you.

:00:29.:00:41.

It was a massive day for Team GB in Rio yesterday,

:00:42.:00:44.

with a total of five medals won, including two gold medals.

:00:45.:00:47.

Ricky's sent us this round-up of all the action.

:00:48.:00:50.

Was the pool turning green a stroke of good luck for Great Britain?

:00:51.:00:53.

Well, it seemed to do the job for Chris Mears and Jack Laugher,

:00:54.:00:56.

as they won Great Britain's first Gold in diving.

:00:57.:01:00.

There was plenty of success on Day Five here at the Olympics,

:01:01.:01:05.

on one of the most successful days of the Olympics so far.

:01:06.:01:08.

What a moment for Chris and Jack, as they claimed the diving

:01:09.:01:12.

title with the men's synchronised 3-metre springboard.

:01:13.:01:14.

People are going to be talking about this moment for years to come.

:01:15.:01:19.

What we've done today, it's incredible.

:01:20.:01:27.

You said you would have settled for silver.

:01:28.:01:29.

Are you totally thinking now, forget that?

:01:30.:01:31.

I was following our scores all the way through.

:01:32.:01:42.

Not, like, I wasn't concentrating on it loads,

:01:43.:01:44.

but I knew where we were and I knew that we'd done very well.

:01:45.:01:47.

We were sat on poolside just waiting for the Chinese to go and I looked

:01:48.:01:51.

at Chris and I was like, oh, yeah, we'd settle for silver.

:01:52.:01:53.

I was like, a silver medal at the Olympic Games,

:01:54.:01:56.

that is unbelievable if you get a silver medal at the Olympic Games!

:01:57.:01:59.

And then to see the Chinese not quite do it and we grasped that

:02:00.:02:02.

Gold, that is the most ridiculous moment in my entire sporting career.

:02:03.:02:05.

Joe Clarke, who's 23, won the men's kayak single Gold.

:02:06.:02:08.

He's been canoeing since he was 11 years old.

:02:09.:02:10.

From Golds to loads of Bronze medals too, as Team GB start

:02:11.:02:13.

Max Whitlock won GB's first all-round gymnastics Olympic medal

:02:14.:02:18.

Chris Froome also took Bronze in the Olympic men's

:02:19.:02:26.

Just to be here and to have medalled again, it's just been

:02:27.:02:31.

I'll definitely look back on this in a few years' time

:02:32.:02:37.

Another Bronze - this time, in shooting.

:02:38.:02:43.

Steven Scott got a perfect score of 30 for GB.

:02:44.:02:47.

And Sally Conway, just look at that face, she was beaming with her judo

:02:48.:02:51.

Although the weather's been a bit miserable today,

:02:52.:02:56.

all of these medals have given us lots to smile about on Day Five.

:02:57.:03:05.

Well, if you dream of being an Olympian, we want you to tell us

:03:06.:03:09.

what sport you would love to do and why.

:03:10.:03:12.

And from sports stars to the ones in the sky,

:03:13.:03:16.

there's something quite amazing happening tonight.

:03:17.:03:18.

The Perseid meteor shower is described as a fantastic,

:03:19.:03:20.

natural fireworks display, with up to 200 meteors shooting

:03:21.:03:22.

But will the weather be good enough to see it all clearly?

:03:23.:03:31.

The BBC's Tomasz Schafernaker has the details.

:03:32.:03:37.

It is that time of the year where we are in for an astronomical

:03:38.:03:44.

spectacle. The Perseid meteor Shara, the Earth was going to go through a

:03:45.:03:48.

trail left over by a comet, a mutual trail. It will peak at around the

:03:49.:03:55.

12th of August. And the best time is between 11pm and four a.m.. The

:03:56.:04:00.

weather is absolutely crucial. It looks as though the Southern half of

:04:01.:04:04.

the UK will have clear spells most of this week. But the North is going

:04:05.:04:08.

to be a little bit more tricky with weather fronts coming again from the

:04:09.:04:13.

Atlantic. That means there will be a bit more cloud around and maybe a

:04:14.:04:17.

bit of rainfall. But overall, wherever you are in the UK this

:04:18.:04:20.

week, there is certainly going to be at least one or two evenings of

:04:21.:04:25.

catching a glimpse of those meteor showers.

:04:26.:04:26.

And head online to find out what causes the Perseid meteor

:04:27.:04:29.

shower, and even some top tips on how to watch it

:04:30.:04:32.

And finally, Ricky was talking about this earlier -

:04:33.:04:36.

Well, organisers say it was caused by water tanks running out

:04:37.:04:39.

Tom Daley described it as "slightly strange",

:04:40.:04:42.

but the people in charge say there was "no risk" to athletes.

:04:43.:04:45.

The water is being treated, so it should be back to normal soon.

:04:46.:04:50.

Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.
