DAY three at the Tokyo Olympics saw the gold medal rush begin for Team GB, with three making top spot on the podium.

It started with Adam peaty defending his Olympic title from 2016, winning the 100m Breaststroke in the early hours of the morning before Tom Daly and partner Matty Lee winning the men's Synchronised Diving 10m platform competition.

That was quickly followed by Tom Pidcock cruising to a superb win in the men's Mountain Bike event.

All this came after Britain's Alex Yee came second in the men's Triathlon which finished just after midnight.

Yee was in the gold medal position during the final stage of the event, the 10km run after staying in the lead pack through the swim and the cycle.

But he was eventually pipped to the line by Norway's Kristian Blummenfelt.

Elsewhere, Worcestershire sailor Ali Young was in action as she continued in the Women's One Person Dingy event.

Young, from Bewdley, sat 14th place in the standings after the opening day of competition on the water in Enoshima, where she initially struggled coming 24th in race 1 before improving in the second to cross the line in eighth

It was a similar tale this morning (Japanese afternoon) as Young came 9th and 20th in races three and four respectively.

After the second day's action she has dropped one place to 15th overall. There are 10 races in total so Young can still mount a charge for a medal but will need a big performance tomorrow to get her back in the hunt.

Team GB will have further chances to add to their gold medal haul on Monday, as Great Britain's Lauren Williams goes in the Final of the Women's -67kg Taekwondo competition.

Williams, 22, defeated Ivory Coast's Ruth Gbagbi 24-18 in the semi-final.

The three-time European champion will face Croat Matea Jelic in the final bout at 13:30 BST today.

There could also be more British joy when the quartet of Max Whitlock, Joe Fraser, James Hall and Giarni Regini-Moran going for a medal in the Men's Team Gymnastics Final, which starts at 11.00 BST.
