Team GB will have some way to go to beat the epic performance on home soil at London 2012, where the athletes finished third after picking up 29 gold, 17 silver and 19 bronze medals.

Not many are expecting the Brits to get close to that haul – the best tally since all the way back in 1908.

But the Brits have got off to a good start with the dominant Adam Peaty fulfilling his promise to break his world record (again) during a gold medal performance in the 100m breaststroke.

No further gold medals were added on day three but the Brits managed to add a pair of bronzes.

Ed Ling finished a surprise third in the shooting, while Tom Daley and Dan Goodfellow added another in a thrilling performance on the 10m synchronised diving board.
