WHO CAN MAKE PHELPS AND CO. LOOK LIKE TADPOLES?
After their dominant display in the men's 4x200 freestyle relay last night, Michael Phelps and his team-maters were visited by the USA basketball team, who watched from the stands.

CALL HER 'REBEYONCÉ'
In the women's all-round individual competition, Brazil's Rebeca Andrade performed her wildly entertaining and energetic floor routine to a mix of Beyoncé songs, including 'All The Single Ladies' and 'Crazy In Love.'
The gymnast said she "feels" the US pop superstar. (Link is in Portuguese.)
A fitting contrast, USA dynamo Simone Biles performs a floor routine using a classic samba tune.
After three rotations, Biles is in the lead. Andrade, 17, earned 13,766 on the floor, a score that was not well received by the crowd at Rio Olympic Arena.

CHRIS HOY PEP TALK = GOLD?
The six-time gold medallist claims to have given Great Britain's rugby sevens team a talking to before their final day of competition, which so far has seen them qualify for the gold medal match against Fiji.
