:00:32. > :00:42.The boys are up in front. They have already swum and cycled. Hopefully
:00:43. > :00:43.that is a guaranteed gold and silver.
:00:44. > :00:46.It's only lunchtime in Rio but Team GB already has another medal -
:00:47. > :00:49.the Kayak team of Liam Heath and Jon Schofield have won Silver
:00:50. > :00:51.in the Olympic K2 200 metres final, just holding off

:01:14. > :01:17.You'll get the result of that final, right here,
:01:18. > :01:38.Team GB is currently second in the medals table behind the USA with an
:01:39. > :01:41.incredible total of 51 medals. Seven of those had come from gymnasts.
:01:42. > :01:48.Ricky has been catching up with them. What's the first thing you do
:01:49. > :01:55.you did for you were near Neverland cup at the aptly's Bilic. Was all a
:01:56. > :01:59.bit of a rush, a bit surreal. We came and got ready and went to Team
:02:00. > :02:05.GB house and we got a fantastic reception. You are the first Team GB
:02:06. > :02:09.member to get a medal in the high bar. It's outstanding. Nice feeling
:02:10. > :02:15.to make history, make the final, where a medal around my neck.
:02:16. > :02:20.Hopefully I will inspire tonnes of Young Boys back in Britain. Amy,
:02:21. > :02:26.being the youngest athlete for Team GB has that been difficult? No,
:02:27. > :02:29.everyone has been so great, walking through the village, everyone
:02:30. > :02:35.recognising me as the youngest athlete. When I was on the podium I
:02:36. > :02:39.didn't have a clue what to do. The girls were like, follow us, we will
:02:40. > :02:45.show you what to do. It was quite nice. How did you get into
:02:46. > :02:50.gymnastics? I was a clumsy child, I used to follow for my own shadow.
:02:51. > :02:53.Plenty of scars on my head, my parents took me along to give me
:02:54. > :02:58.some spatial awareness and I picked it up and loved it. The most
:02:59. > :03:03.successful overseas Olympics for Team GB. What do you think it is
:03:04. > :03:06.that got us to this point? As gymnasts we are a family and so
:03:07. > :03:12.close. Everyone is getting more confident. It's almost the normal to
:03:13. > :03:15.be winning an Olympic medal. The mood is fantastic, great to be
:03:16. > :03:18.around and great to be in that environment. To everyone watching
:03:19. > :03:23.Newsround, thank you for your support. You have been great!
:03:24. > :03:26.And if you want EVEN more Olympics head to Newsround online
:03:27. > :03:29.where you can hear Ricky speak to Laura Trott and the other cycling
:03:30. > :03:34.After weeks of waiting, the world's longest aircraft,
:03:35. > :03:35.called Airlander 10, finally took off from
:03:36. > :03:50.Here's Jenny, with everything you need to know about it.
:03:51. > :04:00.Part aeroplane, part airship, part helicopter, this is the world's
:04:01. > :04:04.longest flying machine. It has a giant helium gas filled balloon with
:04:05. > :04:08.a special shape to help it fly. The team behind it boasted can stay in
:04:09. > :04:14.the air for three weeks and could potentially carry hundreds of
:04:15. > :04:19.people. Just how big is it? It's 92 metres long, roughly equal to a
:04:20. > :04:23.football pitch, nine double-decker buses and about 20 metres longer
:04:24. > :04:28.than the biggest airliner. It doesn't even need an airport, it can
:04:29. > :04:32.take off and land vertically, some people call it a giant flying
:04:33. > :04:34.bottom, I have absolutely no idea why!
:04:35. > :04:36.And finally, if the Olympic action in Rio wasn't already exciting
:04:37. > :04:39.enough to entertain the crowds, then these amazing gymnasts took
:04:40. > :04:42.China's world champion acrobats wowed fans with an amazing 'human
:04:43. > :04:49.skipping rope' during a special show at the Games in Brazil.
:04:50. > :04:54.That's all from me, Newsround's back tomorrow morning at 7.40.
