Today at the Olympics: Wait for first medal goes on after slow start by Team GB

Day two of the Tokyo Olympics did not get off to the best of starts from a British perspective with high-profile upsets and withdrawals.

Defending taekwondo champion Jade Jones suffered a shock first-round defeat to Kimia Alizadeh of the Refugee Olympic team, ending her hopes of becoming the first British woman to win Olympic gold medals at three consecutive Games.

But it was not all doom and gloom – not with the irrepressible Adam Peaty around – and he remains on course to become the first British swimmer to retain an Olympic title as he reached the men’s 100 metres breaststroke final with with fastest time of 57.63. He will be joined in Monday’s final by James Wilby, who was third fastest in his semi-final.
