Bradley Wiggins is attempting to add Olympic gold to his recent Tour de France victory this afternoon.

He's the hot favourite in the men's time trial which starts shortly.

But Team GB have their first gold medal at the London Games - Helen Glover and Heather Stanning winning the women's pairs rowing.

Our men's eight have also added a bronze.

Meanwhile, it's been confirmed that eight badminton players accused of throwing matches have been disqualified from the Games.

It follows an investigation by the sport's governing body - after four doubles teams appeared to deliberately lose to get better draws in the next round.

Indonesia and South Korea have launched appeals, and the other team is from China.
