Here, we wrap up the action from across the Games and looks ahead to day three.

:: Peaty had broken his own world record in the heats of the 100 metres breaststroke with a time of 57.55 seconds and was just 0.07secs slower in the semi-final to cement his status as gold medal favourite, a tag the 21-year-old from Uttoxeter emphatically lived up to with a dominant performance in the final. Peaty led from the outset and streaked away from the competition to lower his own record to 57.13s and win by more than 1.5s.

:: Carlin was the second-fastest qualifier in the women’s 400m freestyle, albeit more than four seconds adrift of American Katie Ledecky, who set a new Olympic record in winning her heat and broke her own world record with a time of three minutes 56.46 seconds in the final. Carlin took silver ahead of Ledecky’s team-mate Leah Smith.

:: British fencer Richard Kruse earlier saw his bid to become Britain’s first medallist dashed by Russia’s Timur Safin in their bronze medal play-off in the men’s foil. Kruse staged a spectacular comeback from 12-5 down to move within two points of victory, only for Safin to complete a 15-13 win just seconds into the final period.

:: Andy Murray launched the defence of his Olympic title with a 6-3 6-2 win over Viktor Troicki, but the Wimbledon champion and brother Jamie later crashed out of the doubles in the first round, the second seeds losing two tie-breaks - the second 16-14 - to Brazil’s Andre Sa and Thomaz Bellucci.

:: The second day of rowing was postponed due to the wind whipping across the Lagoa, meaning reigning women’s pair champions Helen Glover and Heather Stanning were among those squeezed into a rejigged schedule - weather permitting - on Monday and Tuesday.

:: Lizzie Armitstead’s week of turmoil ended in disappointment as she could only finish fifth in a dramatic women’s road race which saw Holland’s Annemiek van Vleuten suffer a nasty crash when leading with less than 11km to go. Van Vleuten spent Sunday evening in intensive care in hospital with concussion and three fractures to her lower back.
