Olympics 2016: Westcountry athletes put themselves in contention for string of medals on Friday
It's been yet another successful day for the Westcountry's athletes out in Rio with many putting themselves in contention for medals tomorrow.
From Lagoa - where the rowing is taking place - to the Aquatic Centre in the Barra Olympic Park - to the Equestrian Centre in Deodoro there have been signs a first gold medal of these games may be close for the Westcountry.
Rowing - Glover and Stanning on course for gold
Helen Glover and Heather Stanning came through their Women's Pair semi-final in ominous form this afternoon.
The pair haven't lost in almost five years of competition but in their qualifier earlier this week they were run very close by the pair from Denmark.
Glover and Stanning were Team GB's first gold-medal winners in London 2012. They could spark a similar Gold Run for our region this time round.
Weather permitting Helen - from Truro - and Heather - from Yeovil - race in their final a little after twenty past two tomorrow afternoon.
Equestrian - Dujardin leads the dressage
Team GB are defending a gold medal in the team dressage from London 2012 and Charlotte Dujardin - and her horse Valegro - are defending an individual gold too.
After two days of competition the rider from Gloucestershire looks like she doesn't want to give up that Olympic crown.
A fantastic round tonight on the third day of competition means she leads overnight.
But spare a thought for her compatriot Carl Hester. His steed Nip Tuck was spooked by something on the course and ended up stepping onto a barrier - incurring a big penalty.
He came back well though and sits in fifth position in the individual standings.
The team medal will be decided tomorrow with Team GB in second place overnight while the individual competition will be decided on Monday.
Swimming - Carlin, Guy and Proud all through
It has already been a fantastic Olympics for Team GB's swimmers and those from the Westcountry have been at the forefront of our success.
Jazz Carlin from Swindon won silver in the women's 400m freestyle and is now into the final of the 800m freestyle too. The final is in the early hours of Saturday.
A medal has eluded James Guy twice so far in Rio but that may be about to change. He won his 100m butterfly heat to make the semi-final which takes place overnight.
Plymouth's Ben Proud made a fantastic start in his 50m freestyle heat but slowed slightly to finish third. He still qualified for the semi-finals though - which take place overnight.
Athletics - Jo Pavey to become GB's oldest athlete
Surely the story of the games would be if Honiton's Jo Pavey won a medal at this Olympics. She's competing in her fifth Olympic Games at the age of 42.
To put that in context her first Olympics was in Sydney in 2000. She's since run in Athens (2004), Beijing (2008) and London (2012).
