Reigning Olympic champions the Netherlands were very much the country to beat heading into the men's team sprint event - and so it proved.

Having already set a new world record during qualifying, they lowered that mark even further to retain their title in an astonishing time of 40.949 seconds.

With Carlin - now a three-time Olympic medallist - on the final lap, Britain crossed the finish line 0.865 seconds behind.

The Netherlands, whose team was made up by Roy van den Berg, Harrie Lavreysen and Jeffrey Hoogland, have won five of the past six men's team sprint World Championship titles and are simply in a class of their own.

Having made it on to the podium in Tokyo three years ago, British skateboarder Brown nearly missed out on the Paris Games altogether when she dislocated her shoulder just days before the start of the competition.

The 16-year-old then suffered a further scare when she was left clutching the same left shoulder following a heavy fall during her final run in Tuesday's preliminary round.

There was some uncertainty over whether Brown would be fit enough to take part in the final only a couple of hours later, but she made another remarkable recovery to shine at the Place de La Concorde.

A sensational final run of 92.31 saw her finish behind 14-year-old Australian Arisa Trew and Japan's Kokona Hiraki, ensuring she added to her bronze in Tokyo, when she became GB's youngest medallist aged 13 years and 28 days.

Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix was overcome by emotion after finishing sixth in the women's 10m platform diving final.

The 19-year-old was bidding to become the first British woman to win two Olympic diving medals, having taken bronze alongside Lois Toulson in the synchronised event.

But she was unable to reach those levels again, with Chinese pair Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi producing another dominant display to win gold and silver.

Visibly emotional as she was consoled following her final dive, Spendolini-Sirieix told BBC Sport: "I am just happy that I am alive.

"Three years ago I didn't even want to be alive. Today I'm just happy that I am alive, I'm breathing and I've got my family to support me."

It's been a glorious Olympics for Britain's equestrian team so far, with two golds and three bronzes from the opening five events.

There were high hopes for a sixth medal in the individual jumping final, but the day ended in disappointment for Harry Charles, Ben Maher and Scott Brash.

Team GB suffered a blow early in the day when Charles pulled out of the event, writing on Instagram that his horse Romeo 88 was not fit enough to compete, external, before Maher and Brash knocked over the same fence on their respective runs.

The event was won by Germany's Christian Kukuk, who pipped Switzerland's Steve Guerdat in second, while the Netherlands' Maikel van der Vlueten came third.

With Keely Hodgkinson setting the gold standard for Team GB's track and field athletes by winning the 800m, Tuesday saw the 1500m runners hoping to follow her example.

It was a fine morning's work for Laura Muir and Georgia Bell, who both qualified from their heats for the semi-finals, but fellow Briton Revee Walcott-Nolan dropped to Wednesday's repechage.

In the women's 400m repechage, Victoria Ohuruogu won her heat with a season's best 50.59 to qualify for the semi-finals.

Elsewhere, in unusual scenes, the second heat of the men's 110m hurdles repechage needed four attempts to get under way before Brazil's Rafael Pereira ran out a comfortable winner.

The first attempt brought a false start, the second was paused because of shouting from the crowd and the third failed when the starting pistol failed to go off.
