Silver medals: 3

Anna Henderson

Cycling - women's time trial

How she did it: Grace Brown took the lead from Henderson as the Australian finished more than a minute and a half quicker. But the final rider, the United States' world champion Chloe Dygert, was unable to better Henderson's time so the Briton claimed silver by less than one second.

Adam Peaty

Swimming - men's 100m breaststroke

How he did it: A tearful Peaty had to settle for Olympic silver as Italy's Nicolo Martinenghi snatched a shock gold by 0.02 seconds. Silver still caps a remarkable turnaround for Peaty, who had taken a break from the sport after issues with alcoholism and his mental health since his last gold in Tokyo.

Tom Daley and Noah Williams

Diving - men's synchronised 10m platform

How they did it: Daley won his fifth Olympic medal and Williams won his first as they finished second behind China's Lian Junjie and Yang Hao. Daley, 30, effectively retired from diving after winning synchronised 10m platform gold at the Tokyo Games, but was persuaded to return to the sport by his son Robbie.

Bronze medals: 2

Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen

Diving - women's synchronised 3m springboard

How they did it: The British pair moved from fourth to third with an excellent final dive. A horrible mistake on Australia's final dive meant they failed to overhaul Harper and Mew Jensen, who claimed GB's first opening day medal since 2004.

Kimberley Woods

Canoe slalom - Women's kayak

How she did it: In a dramatic final, Woods was holding on to third place in the standings with only reigning Olympic champion Ricarda Funk to run. But when Germany's Funk clipped a gate and picked up a 50-second penalty, the bronze was secured for 28-year-old Woods and Team GB.
