:04:19. > :04:24.biggest cheers were for Felipe. No Brazilian has won a shooting medal
:04:25. > :04:28.since 1920. He is 24 years old, the Brazilian, it was not unexpected but

:04:41. > :04:48.for shooting practice, -- he does not have professional practice areas
:04:49. > :04:56.in Sao Paulo. It had not gone well for their football teams. The
:04:57. > :05:00.Brazilian side were booed off against their French team. The judo

:05:11. > :05:19.organising committee having to issue a statement saying sorry. At last,
:05:20. > :05:25.some sporting success for Brazil. Also, the men's cycling that came
:05:26. > :05:29.past year a few hours ago, it was absolutely thrilling! What a
:05:30. > :05:33.wonderful race to look for spectators, book ended by the hills
:05:34. > :05:41.at both ends of the beaches, it was fast and thrilling and Greg van
:05:42. > :05:46.Aberaman, the Belgian, won it, this was his last chance to win an
:05:47. > :05:51.Olympic gold medal. All eyes had been on the Italian. I would he do,
:05:52. > :05:58.the Giro d'Italia rider? He was about to make his move and he came
:05:59. > :06:05.off the bike. -- high would he do? As did Geraint Thomas, the British
:06:06. > :06:09.rider, he has went to hospital for precautionary check. But cycling
:06:10. > :06:12.aficionados are saying this course was so thrilling that cycling or to

:06:22. > :06:25.from Greg Van Avermaet, which was not expected, especially since
:06:26. > :06:30.Belgium did not win a single gold medal in 2012. And a world record in

:06:37. > :06:41.breaststroke, breaking his own mark, 57.55 seconds, it was not so long
:06:42. > :06:45.ago that no one could wreak the 58 second barrier, now this young Brit
:06:46. > :06:50.at his first Olympics shows he means business. It is likely to be
:06:51. > :06:56.head-to-head between him and the defending Olympic champion from
:06:57. > :07:00.South African. And excitement in the pool. And the first medal from the
:07:01. > :07:05.games that they had, which seems like a long time to go with the sun
:07:06. > :07:09.going down on the speech, but that went to the junior Thrasher of the
:07:10. > :07:20.United States in the air rifle ten metres
:07:21. > :07:25.-- Virginia Thrasher. The Chinese expected to do well, and probably
:07:26. > :07:30.had not even heard of Virginia Thrasher. She is 19 years old,
:07:31. > :07:35.wanting to become an ice dancer, only taking shooting is up a few
:07:36. > :07:39.years ago. She got on the team and came here with no expectations and
:07:40. > :07:45.when is the first gold of the games, what I want. If her and the United
:07:46. > :07:53.States of America. And we can have a brief look at the medals table. --
:07:54. > :07:58.what a great story for her and the United States. And the first gold
:07:59. > :08:02.for Vietnam. And of course the United States, who we expect with
:08:03. > :08:08.the biggest team here, when all this ends in about two weeks' time, they
:08:09. > :08:12.will be top of the medals table, with China chasing them. Perhaps
:08:13. > :08:16.Great Britain, depending on how well they do in the swimming pool and
:08:17. > :08:21.track, could be up there. So far with some problems with spectators
:08:22. > :08:26.getting in, and that controlled explosion down at the finish line of
:08:27. > :08:31.the cycling, it has been a good day for the Rio Olympics.
:08:32. > :08:38.Exciting stuff coming out of the first day. Any more highlights to
:08:39. > :08:44.look forward to? Well, yeah, the swimming tonight! It starts so late.
:08:45. > :08:50.Ten local time. This is to help out the Americans. Shall we say? It fits
:08:51. > :08:59.in with their televisions schedule back home. The likes of Ryan Lockley
:09:00. > :09:03.in the old. My favourite tonight will be the men's 400 metres
:09:04. > :09:09.freestyle, the young Australian, can he win gold after the disappointment
:09:10. > :09:14.of their cycle is not doing well earlier, can he give the Australian
:09:15. > :09:18.something to cheer? It would be a great story because earlier this
:09:19. > :09:24.year he was involved in a traffic accident, driving his car off of the
:09:25. > :09:28.cliff. He is OK, clearly, being at the Olympics, but can he beat the
:09:29. > :09:34.enigmatic Chinese swimmer who at the last rock championships didn't even
:09:35. > :09:39.turn up for the final and has served a doping ban before now. That is the
:09:40. > :09:44.battle I will be looking forward to. Several medals to be won but a late
:09:45. > :09:49.finish for the swimmers here in Rio. Lots to look forward to. Chris
