Men's street skateboarding postponed

We've had our first wash-out of the Games!

After the heavens opened last night, the ground has been deemed too moist for cool people to whizz around on skateboards. They're going to have to wait two days to get underway. I'd hate the wait with all the nerves!

Our expert writers Oliver Holt and Ian Herbert have had their say on last night's frankly bizarre opening ceremony.

Get your fix of Holt and herbert below - and let us know what you made of it in the comments.

A brief overview of today's action

Major sponsors have cut ties with her after a video emerged of her whipping a horse, released by a whistleblower.

Now, Mail Sport can reveal damining comments made by Alicia Dickinson, the dressage trainer who has denied being that whistleblower, about abuse at the top of the sport.
