Tokyo Olympics 2020 Day 5 LIVE RESULTS: Team GB win swimming relay GOLD, rugby sevens, Simone Biles – latest updates

GREAT BRITAIN'S swimmers picked up their THIRD gold of the Tokyo Games after a stunning relay win this morning.

And two of them have gone to Tom Dean, who added the freestyle relay to his individual honour earlier today on day five.

Though Andy Murray's quest for doubles Olympic success is over after he and partner Joe Salisbury lost to the Croatian team of Marin Cilic and Ivan Dodig.

In the rowing, Great Britain secured silver in the men's quadruple sculls but suffered devastation in the men's coxless four, finishing in fourth place as they failed to win the event for the first time since 1996.

In the cycling today, Geraint Thomas will look to bounce back from a wretched road race to challenge for gold in the time trial.

And we will have live coverage of the Olympic men's football with some big names set to bow out in the group stage.

    FT: GREAT BRITAIN 12-17 ARGENTINA

    Heartbreak for the GB players. They concede a penalty on the attack and the ball is booted into touch.

    Despair for Great Britain and the Argentinian's break into rapturous celebration.

    So close for Team GB but not to be.

    RUGBY SEVENS: GREAT BRITAIN 12-12 ARGENTINA

    And we are level! A great Harris spin down the right before he is tackled.

    Excellent following up from Lindsay-Hague and he runs in the simplest of tries.

    The kick is good!

    RUGBY SEVENS: GREAT BRITAIN 5-12 ARGENTINA

    Britain in possession and it's slack play to allow their opponents in.

    The ever-impressive dangerman Moneta with another try in this tournament. Conversion is good this time.

    HALF-TIME

    RUGBY SEVENS: GREAT BRITAIN 5-5 ARGENTINA

    A tight angle for the conversion and they too miss.

    RUGBY SEVENS: GREAT BRITAIN 5-0 ARGENTINA

    That was quick! From kick-off and Harris runs in a try inside 20 seconds!

    Conversion missed.

    BATTLE FOR BRONZE

    Great Britain are in a battle for the third place in the rugby sevens.

    They run out onto the field ahead of the clash with Argentina.

    Kick-off moments away. Bring it home, lads!

    WHAT IT MEANS

    A lot of chat from opinionated folks that this Olympics is meaningless and shouldn't have gone ahead.

    Tell that to James Guy!

    OLYMPIC MESSAGE

    A blow for the Olympics as a whole with Simone Biles' decision not to take part.

    But a message of support for their gymnastics star.

    BROADY SECOND SET!

    Britain's Liam Broady has taken the second set of his third round clash with Jeremy Chardy.

    The Frenchman took the first on a tie break and we are now level.

    AT HALFWAY

    And Geraint Thomas sits in seventh through that latest check.

    He was around 55 seconds down on Slovenia's Primoz Roglic who led the way.

    Tao Geoghegan Hart is in the clubhouse in 16th – but with the riders still out, he'll find himself further down that.

      BREAKING: ANDY MURRAY AND JOE SALISBURY ARE OUT!

      The British pair fall at the quarter final stage to Marin Cilic and Ivan Dodig.

      Heartbreak for the Brits as they were a set and a break up before the Croatian fightback.

      The tiebreak style third set got away from them early on and they couldn't recover.

      Could this be the last time we see Andy Murray at the Olympic Games?

      Murray's return to Cilic is mis-hit by the tall Croatian as he doesn't get it over the net.
