Great Britain's equestrian team have
won silver in the eventing competition at the London 2012 Olympics.
Tina Cook, William Fox-Pitt, Mary King, Zara Phillips and Nicola Wilson finished runners-up to Germany to take GB's fourth medal.
But there was disappointment for GB when swimmer Ellen Gandy was a surprise casualty in the 200m butterfly heats.
US swimmer Michael Phelps won a record 19th medal, as part of gold medal-winning US 4x200m freestyle relay team.
Meanwhile, Games organisers have defended the drug testing programme and dismissed doubts over Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen.
A US coach labelled Ye Shiwen' world record-breaking swim in the women's 400 metres individual medley on Saturday as "unbelievable" and "disturbing".
But at a news conference, British Olympic Association chairman Lord Moynihan said Ye had passed drugs tests and deserved "recognition for her talent".
Later in the day, Ye won gold in the women's 200m individual medley, with GB's Hannah Miley in seventh place

The the London 2012 Olympics seem to be more exciting and interesting.
I agree with you there, much more entertaining.
