Britain's Jazz Carlin has won silver in the women's 400m freestyle.

The Welsh swimmer had been coy about her expectations for Rio in the build up, but gave a strong performance in the pool.

Her success - coming in after Kathleen Ledecky of the US, who won gold - came just moments after Adam Peaty took Team GB's first gold in the men's 100m breaststroke.

Team GB's medal tally stands at: one gold and one silver.
