Great Britains rowers and sailors have clinched three more golds. with another guaranteed in the all-British women's cycling pursuit final.

Britain's sailors and rowers won three more gold medals on a day which could yet eclipse the team's phenomenal "Super Saturday" performance.
The Yngling trio of Sarah Ayton, Sarah Webb and Pippa Wilson clinched the first gold of the day, with Ben Ainslie following suit in the Finn class.
The men's rowing lightweight double sculls triumphed, but the women's quadruple sculls were edged for gold.
Another gold is guaranteed in the all-British women's cycling pursuit final.
