It's a one-two for Britain in the pommel horse, with Max Whitlock and Louis Smith coming first and second respectively.

Incredible stuff

We are flying. We could win six gold medals by the end of the day. SIX!

[MDK]

We won gold in golf? I fucking love golf >_>

We're ahead of China in second place in the medal table.

 

Holy crap.

Fuck yeah!

We've got another guaranteed gold coming in the men's sprint later too, and hopefully Andy Murray does the business too. What a day for Team GB!

[Bobfoc]

Giles Scott has guaranteed a sailing gold as well.

[Bobfoc]

Good start from Murray. That ought to be a nice cushion for the inevitable slump later on.

[Chris2K]

By "later on" I think you meant three games later. He's falling apart spectacularly at the moment.

The exterior shots of the tennis stadium are beautiful

Murray seems like he's letting the little distractions get to him at the moment. The crowd, people wandering around in his eye line, sirens. His serve percentage is miserably low right now. But Del Potro is now serving to stay in the set. Could be a long night this.

Justin Rose is about to win GB gold in the golf.

Confirmed now. Screw you, @Lineker. You don't get to enjoy this one. 

I won't. Shit hobby posing as an Olympic discipline. 

[Starvinho]

Murray takes the opening set!

Set!

[Adam]

Get in. Where was that chatter coming from during the set point?

Murray's 1st serve percentage was 36% for the set, and yet he's won it. That is a hard pill to swallow for Del Potro. Murray should be able to take control from here.

#17 ranked Switzerland nearly pulled off a huge upset over #1 ranked Brazil in beach volleyball.  Got to match point several times but Brazil survived and forced a third set, which they then won.  Shame.  Always feel gutted when a huge underdog gets so tantalizingly close like that and can't close it out.

Even more impressive if you've seen a Swiss beach
