Hi there, Leah here with your Thursday Newsround. | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
Let's get straight into the Olympic action from Rio... | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
Team GB brothers Alistair and Jonny Brownlow are RIGHT NOW | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
racing in the Olympic Triathlon, hoping to defend the Gold and Bronze | :00:21. | :00:23. | |

cycling for 40 kilometres before a ten kilometre run | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
The boys are up in front. They have already swum and cycled. Hopefully | :00:32. | :00:42. | |
that is a guaranteed gold and silver. | :00:43. | :00:43. | |
It's only lunchtime in Rio but Team GB already has another medal - | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
the Kayak team of Liam Heath and Jon Schofield have won Silver | :00:47. | :00:49. | |

The Welsh fighter will be hoping to make the final later tonight. | :00:59. | :01:06. | |

Check him out having a chuckle with Canadian sprinter Andre de | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
You'll get the result of that final, right here, | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
Team GB is currently second in the medals table behind the USA with an | :01:18. | :01:38. | |
incredible total of 51 medals. Seven of those had come from gymnasts. | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Ricky has been catching up with them. What's the first thing you do | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
you did for you were near Neverland cup at the aptly's Bilic. Was all a | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
bit of a rush, a bit surreal. We came and got ready and went to Team | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
GB house and we got a fantastic reception. You are the first Team GB | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
member to get a medal in the high bar. It's outstanding. Nice feeling | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
to make history, make the final, where a medal around my neck. | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
Hopefully I will inspire tonnes of Young Boys back in Britain. Amy, | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
being the youngest athlete for Team GB has that been difficult? No, | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
everyone has been so great, walking through the village, everyone | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
recognising me as the youngest athlete. When I was on the podium I | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
didn't have a clue what to do. The girls were like, follow us, we will | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
show you what to do. It was quite nice. How did you get into | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
gymnastics? I was a clumsy child, I used to follow for my own shadow. | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
Plenty of scars on my head, my parents took me along to give me | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
some spatial awareness and I picked it up and loved it. The most | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
successful overseas Olympics for Team GB. What do you think it is | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
that got us to this point? As gymnasts we are a family and so | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
close. Everyone is getting more confident. It's almost the normal to | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
be winning an Olympic medal. The mood is fantastic, great to be | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
around and great to be in that environment. To everyone watching | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
Newsround, thank you for your support. You have been great! | :03:19. | :03:23. | |

where you can hear Ricky speak to Laura Trott and the other cycling | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
After weeks of waiting, the world's longest aircraft, | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
called Airlander 10, finally took off from | :03:35. | :03:35. | |
Here's Jenny, with everything you need to know about it. | :03:36. | :03:50. | |
Part aeroplane, part airship, part helicopter, this is the world's | :03:51. | :04:00. | |
longest flying machine. It has a giant helium gas filled balloon with | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
a special shape to help it fly. The team behind it boasted can stay in | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
the air for three weeks and could potentially carry hundreds of | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
people. Just how big is it? It's 92 metres long, roughly equal to a | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
football pitch, nine double-decker buses and about 20 metres longer | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
than the biggest airliner. It doesn't even need an airport, it can | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
take off and land vertically, some people call it a giant flying | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
bottom, I have absolutely no idea why! | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
And finally, if the Olympic action in Rio wasn't already exciting | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
enough to entertain the crowds, then these amazing gymnasts took | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
China's world champion acrobats wowed fans with an amazing 'human | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
skipping rope' during a special show at the Games in Brazil. | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back tomorrow morning at 7.40. | :04:50. | :04:54. |
