hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm jane dougall. she trained at the london olympic venue, now she is an olympic medallist. mallory franklin wins silver in another first for team gb. it's one of the most touching moments of the games so far — we speak to matty lee about winning that gold with tom daley.

but no fairy tale ending for helen glover and polly swan, as their olympicjourney comes to an end. despite not winning a medal, the mum of three has an incredibly positive message. you can do anything you want to deal, and trying and failing is no problem as long as you try, and that goes out to notjust my children, but anyone out there. so goes out to notjust my children, but anyone out there.— also coming up in the programme... an astonishing outburst from south africa's director of rugby, where he criticises the officiating for an hour! we get reaction from british and irish lion alun wynjones. welcome to the programme. the tokyo games just keep on delivering. this woman has become the first ever british female to win an olympic

canoe slalom silver. mallory franklin trained at the lee valley white water centre, which was built for london 2012 — and today, she fulfilled her dream of winning an olympic medal herself. drew savage has the story. one giant leap into british canoeing history, which began by beating the stress on the start line. had a moment where i was like, "this is actually really cool. "i wouldn't want to be anywhere else right now." the camera was like panning round me and i caught a glimpse and smiled at it. it's just really cool. cheered on by friends and family back at london's lee valley white water centre, franklin was at home straightaway, in her first olympic final. she's looking solid not taking any risks at all. fastest at the first time check, although not quite perfect further down. there's a touch on 15, that's costly for franklin. but even a two—second penalty

couldn't slow her down too much. she nailed that one really pulled back a bit of time. that two second penalty is being put to the _ that two second penalty is being put to the back— that two second penalty is being put to the back of her mind, it's all about_ to the back of her mind, it's all about the — to the back of her mind, it's all about the last few gates. the journey that began, with a trip to windsor leisure centre 22 years ago, was about to end, with the best time so far, in an olympic final. that is a faulous performance and now we have the worst of waits. five paddlers to go, is that going to be enough? four of the world's best tried to beat franklin, and failed, butjessica fox is the world number one and a canoeing now all legend for a reason. and the australian didn't put a paddle wrong. so, gold for fox. and the nervous wait for franklin ended with a silver medal. it's really cool, it's nice to be in that situation and be set there and know that you've done a good run and not knowing what will happen but enjoying watching everyone else, there was some good paddling going on, it was really cool. louis knew

she smashed it. i thought she wanted when she put that run down. i thought, there is only one present in the world that could have beaten that, and that was just box, and she was a blast, credit to her, she deserves that gold is out, but it was a pretty nail—biting one for us. she is really shy at heart, it's taken — she is really shy at heart, it's taken so _ she is really shy at heart, it's taken so much work for her to be comfortable in the environment, and the olympic games final is really, you know. — the olympic games final is really, you know, the pinnacle of that, so to go— you know, the pinnacle of that, so to go out— you know, the pinnacle of that, so to go out there, feel comfortable to deliver. _ to go out there, feel comfortable to deliver, she has done a greatjob. the second british woman to win an olympic canoe slalom medal, and the first silver — a great day at the office for mallory franklin — and hopes to be back there in paris in three years. drew savage, bbc news. there was a second medal added to the team gb tally today — and it was bronze in the men's trap shooting. matt coward—holley is the world and european champion, but he paid the price for a slow start, missing three of his first ten targets. however, he recovered with ia successive hits to climb into the bronze medal position.

there is a new all around women's champion in the gymnastics after simone biles pulled out of the event. her team mate sunisa lee took gold with a convincing performance. but there were also some very encouraging results for team gb. john watson has more. so, sumi sally takes gold for the fit olympic games in a row. united states. that sister is, finishing tenth on her olympic debut and her sisterjennifer at 13th, all the more impressive when you consider the best results from gb in this event was a 12 place finish previously. we will of course he jessica back in the floor final to come, and we could even seejennifer competing as well. she is the first reserve, and in light of simone biles pulling out of the all—around event, we wait to see, of course, whether she will take up her spot in those four remaining individual finals. , .,

those four remaining individual finals. . ., joining us is 2016 bronze medallist nile wilson, one. how positive are these performances from the gadirova twins, particularly jess? it's fantastic. i mean, the girl is 16 years old, first i'm bracing on the scene and just lapped it up, loved it, handle the pressure lovely. seems like they are having loads of fun out there. they were in the same group today going around, the same group today going around, the sisters, challenging the worlds best. . , ., , best. marches even them as well? absolutely- _ best. marches even them as well? absolutely. they _ best. marches even them as well? absolutely. they will _ best. marches even them as well? absolutely. they will be _ best. marches even them as well? absolutely. they will be the - best. marches even them as well? absolutely. they will be the future of british gymnastics. ioo%. so young, more to give him a march alone. they will have this experience on it about now, and i'm sure that will show in the future. obviously the dominating story is simone biles having to pull out, but possibly lee has been in her shadow. she has done very well today. so get to see her. — she has done very well today. so get to see her. and _ she has done very well today. so get to see her, and i _ she has done very well today. so get to see her, and i think— she has done very well today. so get to see her, and i think all— she has done very well today. so get to see her, and i think all of- she has done very well today. so get to see her, and i think all of the - to see her, and i think all of the critics, and there is a lot of word around simone carrying the team, she

we are not talking about a sport where, not diminishing anything else, but you're not gonna drown in the swimming pool, in the air twisting and turning to me you could break your neck and do some serious damage, so it's important that she gets that, and i am so proud of her for speaking out and putting her mental health first. it's been mass this way, just barge in gymnastics, but she needs to stay safe, and if she's compass mental health issues... . . . she's compass mental health issues- - -_ she's compass mental health issues... ,, . ., , ., , , issues... such a big deal, because no other no _ issues... such a big deal, because no other no other _ issues... such a big deal, because no other no other athletes, - issues... such a big deal, because no other no other athletes, otherl no other no other athletes, other gymnasts will be able to do the same thing, and actually commit the northern irish gymnast posted an interesting video highlighting what can happen. he spit matt down you know, butjust having a look at bat. in that instance, he will have been going for a triple twisting straight back, and that is just a small example, it's very common in gymnastics, honest to god, i've expensed it myself, it's petrifying. when you want your body to do a certain thing for him and for some reason, in the area, your brain is going i've no idea where i am. that

risk faster as there. i hope simone is ok, she is supporting the girls. it has been sad, but also such a powerful week will stop it certainly has highlighted — powerful week will stop it certainly has highlighted the _ powerful week will stop it certainly has highlighted the courage - powerful week will stop it certainly has highlighted the courage and i powerful week will stop it certainly l has highlighted the courage and also the scale that gymnasts have as well.
