djokovic had described the heat and humidity as "brutal", and medvedev had breathing problems duringe he is ok. let's have a look at some of the day's main olympic stories from the other nations: history for the united states, as the women's three on three basketball team became the first nation to win gold in the event. they beat russia 18 points to 15. and latvia took the men's title, beating the russian olympic committee 21 points to 18 in a close match — it's fair to say they were ecstatic. and hungary's kristof milak was frustrated, despite winning gold in the 200—metres butterfly. he ripped his trunks just before the final, and said that threw him, and he failed to break his own world record. he did beat michael phelps's 13—year—old olympic record though. let's bring you up to date with events in the ariake gymnastics centre. there were good performances from great britain's men in the all—around final — but the title went to the japanese teenager who's lighting up the sport. john watson has more. hashimoto, the new superstar of men's gymnastics many gold here in the men's all—

none more so than the world's top two players, novak djokovic, and medvedev, they both played first—rounde called on organisers to try to move matches to later in the day when conditions are not quite as impressive. when novak djokovic was on court earlier, it was around 33 celsius with extremely high humidity. both players said it was the toughest conditions we have ever had toughest conditions we have ever had to deal with on the court. they managed to play their way through to the next round, both of them in straight sets, but they are asking the organisers to at least delay some of the matches later on in the day when temperatures are not quite as high. one of the problems is that because of all the covid restrictions, athletes have not been able to acclimatise themselves in the way that they would have usually done. you go to a different environment, just as a visitor, you go for a walk at certain times of day, you try to get used to how it feels. they have had those opportunities denied them. yes. previous olympics over the years, athletes would be perhaps arriving two, three, perha

conditions are too difficult to play the world's top two men's players — novak djokovic and daniil medvedev the organisers to move matches to later in the day, so the conditions aren't quite as opressive. the temperatures on court stayed at around 33 degrees celsius — with extremely high humidity too. both players said they were the toughest conditions they had ever had to deal with. but they both comfortably made their way through to the next round in straight sets. they will be hoping that those matches going forward in a tournament can be moved to later in the day. plenty more to come throughout the evening. now, back to the studio. emergency workers in western india have been frantically trying to rescue around 50 people feared trapped in a landslide triggered by monsoon rains in the state of maharashtra. officials said the incessant rain over the past few days have triggered severe flooding in many parts of the state, causing widespread devastation. the number of those killed has risen to more than 135. tens of thousands of people have been displaced by the floods. the annual pride mar

hubert hurkacz has had two fantastic results at these championships, knocking out second seed daniil medvedevrettini has had to bring his best, so many errors from hurkacz, including when he was trying to hang in in the first set and a mistake in the end handed berrettini the first set 6—3. this match is very much in danger of running away from the 14th seed hurkacz at the moment. his serve which has been so good and consistent in these championships seems to have deserted him. he has got his net play completely wrong, some drop shots he's going for fall for no reason at all, and we know the power berrettini has on the serve and the forehand. i'm not saying berrettini has been immaculate in this match so far. frankly, he has not had to be, and hurkacz will have to get his head in the right place pretty soon or he will find himself out of this championships pretty quickly. 5—0 down in the second set, clearly not happy with the way things are going. hurkacz hasn't been past the second round of any grand slam. still a monumental achievement to reach the semifinals of wimbledon but it is not goin
