Straight to the Olympic Games in Rio - here's a round-up

:00:18.:00:20.

Great Britain are guaranteed another Olympic medal

:00:21.:00:23.

after the women's hockey team reached their very first final.

:00:24.:00:25.

It's now seven wins out of seven for the team and they're guaranteed

:00:26.:00:30.

at least a silver in Friday's final against the Netherlands.

:00:31.:00:37.

Mo Farah has made a good start at defending his titles in the 5000

:00:38.:00:40.

There was a scary moment on the final lap of his 5k

:00:41.:00:50.

heat as he was clipped by the American Hassan Mead.

:00:51.:00:53.

But Farah survived the stumble to stride through in the closing

:00:54.:00:55.

stages and finish third, booking himself a place

:00:56.:00:57.

Usain Bolt cruised to victory in the 200 metres semi-finals

:00:58.:01:02.

to qualify for his eighth Olympic final with his fastest

:01:03.:01:05.

The Jamaican is aiming for an historic 'triple triple',

:01:06.:01:09.

to win gold in the 100 metre, 200 metre and 4 by 100 metre relays

:01:10.:01:13.

after doing so at the last two Olympics.

:01:14.:01:15.

Britain's Adam Gemili also qualified for the final.

:01:16.:01:23.

Bolt's team mate Elaine Thompson completed the women's sprint double,

:01:24.:01:26.

after winning the 200 metres last night.

:01:27.:01:33.

Team GB's Dina Asher-Smith finished fifth in a time of 22.31 seconds.

:01:34.:01:38.

But of course the big stars this week are the cyclists -

:01:39.:01:41.

every single member of the track team has won a medal.

:01:42.:01:44.

Ricky's been catching up with them in Rio.

:01:45.:01:49.

Team GB have done us proud, winning 50

:01:50.:01:52.

Lots of them coming from inside the velodrome.

:01:53.:02:01.

More than 24 hours after Laura Trott made

:02:02.:02:03.

history here, she made sure she had time to talk to Newsround.

:02:04.:02:11.

So, Laura, can you take yourself back to

:02:12.:02:13.

that seven-year-old girl, all the way through to right now?

:02:14.:02:15.

I still kind of feel like that little girl who rode her bike just

:02:16.:02:23.

It seems we do have four gold medals now. If I can inspire that next

:02:24.:02:32.

generation and the medals to that, that is what I want to do and so be

:02:33.:02:44.

it. Becky James and Katy Marchant won silver and bronze and can't

:02:45.:02:47.

believe they got to show the podium together. It was amazing, a dream

:02:48.:02:52.

come true. We have worked so hard over the last months so, yeah, it is

:02:53.:02:57.

great. Know the competition is over they can kick back and relax at the

:02:58.:03:06.

Athleteathletes' Village here in Rio. They have a pool table, giant

:03:07.:03:12.

Gienger and stuff. It is really nice. Seeing people around -- giant

:03:13.:03:22.

Jenga. Callum Skinner told us cycling was not his thing when he

:03:23.:03:29.

was younger. Fencing, kayaking, anything I could give go. It is just

:03:30.:03:36.

that sensation, the corners in the velodrome are really tight because

:03:37.:03:40.

the banking is steep. If you have a need for speed it is the perfect

:03:41.:03:46.

place to get it. For Laura the most important thing after her race was

:03:47.:03:50.

to spend time with her family and friends. Me and Jason went back to

:03:51.:03:56.

the Athletes' Village and people ask if we celebrated but we were so

:03:57.:03:59.

tired we wanted to spend time together. But my family were so

:04:00.:04:03.

supportive, they have been there through thick and thin, and they see

:04:04.:04:07.

the two sides forming, the one determined to the track and the one

:04:08.:04:11.

with a little wobble is that nobody else sees. If they were did not -- I

:04:12.:04:18.

do not know what I would do without them. Living on...

:04:19.:04:29.

If they were did not there I

:04:30.:04:31.

do not know what I would do without them.

:04:32.:04:33.

More than 80,000 people have been told to leave their homes

:04:34.:04:36.

on the west coast of America, as eight large wildfires continue

:04:37.:04:39.

Thousands of firefighters are battling the blazes,

:04:40.:04:43.

but officials say one of the largest, the Blue Cut fire,

:04:44.:04:45.

Finally, what do you get if you cross a plane

:04:46.:04:49.

The answer is the world's longest aircraft, the Airlander 10,

:04:50.:04:52.

which took off in Bedfordshire last night.

:04:53.:04:54.

It's as long as a football pitch and as tall as six

:04:55.:04:58.

It doesn't even need an airport - it can take off and land vertically.

:04:59.:05:01.
