The pair won silver in the same event in London four years ago.

Meanwhile, it was a goal-less finish at home for Wrexham

It's been a beautifully sunny day for most today -

Keep the sun cream handy. There is more beach weather to come tomorrow.

Celsius by the end of the night. Tomorrow, plenty of sunshine for

Pembrokeshire, with some rain behind the over Ireland. Across the rest of

County show tomorrow, cloudier than today, but staying dry and still

:05:39.:05:41.

like we have got some rain on the way, and that could be heavy and

:05:42.:05:45.

thundery in places. However, the north Coast and Wrexham could well

:05:46.:05:49.

stay dry. On Thursday, spots of rain will die out. Many places dry on

deep look approaching Ireland. That means we are all going to see a

:06:05.:06:08.

spell of rain on Friday, followed by brighter showery weather. The wind

picking up as well, so proper summer weather at the moment, but by the

:06:14.:06:17.

end of the week I think it will feel more like autumn.

:06:18.:06:19.

And that's all from us on this historic night for the Welsh

:06:20.:06:22.

athletes competing for Team GB in Rio.

:06:23.:06:23.
