1350: We had 10 gold medals up for grabs at the start of day three with 22 sports on show. One of those golds has a Romanian flag next to it following Alin George Moldoveanu's men's 10m air rifle victory. Still Tom Daley (diving), Ryan Lochte (swimming) and the US men's gymnastics team to come.
1421: Judoka Wojdan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shaherkani is threatening to withdraw from Friday’s women's +78 kg competition if the International Judo Federation (IJF) continues to insist she removes her headscarf to fight. Talks between the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the IJF have not resolved the issues. The Saudi National Olympic Committee (SNOC) told CNN that the teenager had signed an agreement with the committee that she would only compete if she wears “correct and approved” clothing that “sticks to Islamic principles.” Expect to hear more about this soon.
1429: Everyone loves a celeb spot - and there are some seriously famous names around the British capital, from First Lady Michelle Obama to LA Galaxy star David Beckham, along with royalty from Monaco and Norway. Plenty more still to come in the next 14 days.
1439: Over at Greenwich Park, home of the equestrian events for London 2012, the cross country event had to be halted for 15 minutes when Canadian rider Hawley Bennett-Awad was unseated from her horse, Gin and Juice. Awad has been taken to medical staff for assessment while officials took control of Gin and Juice, who had been loose after the fall. However, the event is back up and running.
1451: For the majority of Britons, Tom Daley is still the 14-year-old who became his country's youngest ever male Olympian in Beijing in the 10m platform diving event. So much has happened to the 18-year-old since then, becoming a world champion, losing his father and told by GB's performance director he was paying too much attention to his media duties. But he has responded in emphatic style and remains one of THE draws for the domestic crowds in London.
1453: Daley competes in his first event in five minutes in the men's synchronised 10m platform dive alongside partner Pete Waterfield, starting in about five minutes at the Aquatic Center. As ever, Chinese duo Yuan Cao and Yanquan Zhang are the duo to beat.
1503: We're under way in the men's synchronised 10m platform diving competition. Six dives for each pair, remember, and the higher the complexity of the dives, the more points they can accrue. Here's what Tom Daley had to say a few hours ago...
1515: Right then, so after round one at the Aquatic Center Great Britain's pair are bang level with the Chinese favourites in joint first place. I heard someone on radio talking about this competition earlier. He said when the dive goes well it's like being transported to another place. And when it goes badly, it's like being hit by a bus. Blimey.
1524: A huge cheer erupts around the Aquatics Center with home favorites Tom Daley and Pete Waterfield top of the rankings after two rounds, a nip and a tuck ahead of the Chinese pair Yuan Cao and Yanquan Zhang with U.S duo David Boudia and Nicolas McCrory in third. What the home crowd would give for this contest to end right now...
1541: For the first time this afternoon, strains of anguish from the home support as British pair Tom Daley and Pete Waterfield produce their first average dive of the 10m synchronized platform final at the Aquatic Center. After four dives, China lead with Mexico second and the U.S. in bronze medal position.
1552: While Ben speaks to disgruntled spectators at Wimbledon, women's cycling road race silver medallist Lizzie Armitstead has used the powers of Surrey Police to attempt to reclaim a vital piece of equipment for her next race on Wednesday. Have a look at the upcoming tweet...
1555: Back at the diving, two below-par dives from British pair Tom Daley and Pete Waterfield have flattened the atmosphere at the Aquatic Center. And Chinese pair Yuan Cao and Yanquan Zhang look a safe bet for gold. It's now all about silver and bronze...
1605: Yet again China triumph in the Aquatic Center as the consistent Cao and Zhang are rewarded for their beautifully executed dives with top spot on the podium with 486.78 points. Mexico's Jeinkler Aguirre and Jose Antonio Guerra claim a deserved silver with U.S. duo David Boudia and Nicolas McCrory taking bronze. Heartbreak for the hosts with Daley and Waterfield, who led the field at the half-way stage, finishing fourth.
1612: Avid reader Danny has been at the Copper Box, venue for the handball competition, watching hosts Great Britain going down to a 37-16 defeat by 2008 silver medallists Russia in the women's competition. However, he's also spotted one of the legacies of the eye-catching venue in his latest tweet...
1618: So the hosts are still waiting for their first gold medal at these Games (they're just about keeping the famous stiff upper lip resolve in the knowledge that rivals Germany have yet to win their first top podium finish either). But there's better news from Greenwich Park, home of the equestrian events, where royalty has been spotted in the stands and on the cross-country course.
1620: Zara Phillips, granddaughter of Her Majesty The Queen, rode a near faultless performance in the cross country event to go joint fifth in the overall individual standings. She completed her round of the 5.7km course with no faults and no time penalties on her horse High Kingdom. She competes in the final show jumping round on Tuesday.
