Rio Olympics Day 3 round-up as Great Britain miss out on gymnastics bronze

Louis Smith fell off the pommel as Great Britain's men just missed out on a bronze medal in the gymnastics team final as Japan took gold.

Russia finished second as China secured bronze with 271.122 points while Smith, Max Whitlock, Kristian Thomas, Nile Wilson and Brinn Bevan finished fourth with 269.725 points.

The Brits were hoping to secure another medal following their bronze in London in 2012 and looked on course to make the podium with Wilson impressing on the high bar and rings.

However, China, who took gold four years ago, finished strongly to place among the medals while Japan secured their first gold since 2004.

Tom Daley and Daniel Goodfellow won bronze medals for Great Britain in the men's synchronised diving (10m) as their last dive of the final saw them pip Germany for third place.

There was disappointment for Team GB in the boxing, however, as Anthony Fowler and Lawrence Okolie both bowed out after points' losses.

Middleweight Fowler was floored in the second and lost all three rounds to Zhanibek Alimkhanuly of Kazakhstan while Okolie lost his heavyweight bout against Cuban Erislandy Savon.

In equestrianism, a poor cross-country phase saw William Fox-Pitt slip from first to outside the medal standings.

Time penalties gave Fox-Pitt a score of 30.4 aboard Chilli Morning, who missed an obstacle, and, despite leading after Sunday's dressage, he will now go into the final show-jumping phase in 21st place on Tuesday.

Pippa Funnell, Kitty King and Gemma Tattersall also picked up penalties with Britain now struggling to challenge for a team medal as they sit seventh in the standings.

Edward Ling became Great Britain's third medallist at Rio 2016 after picking up bronze in the men's trap shooting but Britain's women missed out on a bronze medal as they were beaten 33-10 by Canada in the rugby sevens, with Australia beating New Zealand 24-17 for the gold.

Lilly King vanquished controversial Russian Yulia Efimova to win 100m breaststroke gold for Team USA in the swimming pool.

The 19-year-old first-time Olympian had made it clear she did not think Efimova belonged in the pool after serving a 16-month ban in the wake of a 2013 positive test and a positive test this year for meldonium, with the Russian showered with boos as she took to the blocks.

King led at the turn and repelled a late charge from Efimova to win in an Olympic record of 1:04.93, as fellow American Katie Miele took bronze.

"I think it just proved that you can compete clean and still come out on top," King said.

British world champion James Guy was fourth in the men's 200m freestyle as China's Sun Yang won gold, while Siobhan-Marie O'Connor qualified for the final of the 200m individual medley and set a new British record in her heat with a time of 2:07.57.

In the tennis, Johanna Konta advanced in the women's singles after beating France's Carolina Garcia 6-2 6-3 to progress into the third round, but Heather Watson and Kyle Edmund both crashed out.

Konta and Watson later bowed out of the women's doubles after losing 3-6 6-0 6-4 to Hao-Ching Chan and Yung-Jan Chan of Chinese Taipei.

Elsewhere, Australian cyclist Melissa Hoskins was released from hospital hours after a crash in training on Monday and she still hopes to compete in the team pursuit competition later this week.

The team of Hoskins, Ashlee Ankudinoff, Georgia Baker, Amy Cure and Annette Edmondson were at race speed of nearly 37mph when they clipped wheels at the end of the back straight. Edmondson stayed on her bike as the other riders fell hard behind her on the banked wooden surface.
