Destruction derby aka Wheelchair Rugby between GB and Australia on More 4 (Channel 18).

GB are going to edge it, but it's been a very close game.

Two golds and four silvers on the first day.

Wheelchair rugby is brilliant. GB beat Australia in their first game.

Just the 11 Gold medals so far today for GB!

Edit - make that 12.

The most successful day this century in terms of gold medals won at a Games, eclipsing the previous record of nine in a single day.

And if you've been watching The Last Leg each evening as I have, Adam Hills has an awful lot of explaining to do tonight.

If he hasn't started practising the Can-Can already, he probably should.

Lost the 3rd game, but in fairness her Turkish opponent got a couple of lucky consecutive net cords to move ahead in it.

Bly's still got this in her grasp. She's hitting winners off her defense.

2 games all - Bly loses the 4th 11-5. Her opponent was defending well and frustrating.

Here comes the decider...
