Today at the Games: Sky Brown makes Team GB history and sailors rule waves again

Sky Brown became Great Britain’s youngest Olympic medallist on day 12 in Tokyo.

The 13-year-old claimed bronze in the women’s skateboard park event at the Ariake Urban Arena in the Japanese capital.

There was also history for Hannah Mills as she became the most successful female Olympic sailor ever with gold alongside Eilidh McIntyre in the women’s 470 class.

Team GB added more boxing medals, Ben Whittaker forced to settle for silver after defeat to Cuba’s Arlen Lopez and Frazer Clarke adding a boxing bronze for Team GB when he lost his super-heavyweight semi-final against Uzbekistan’s Bakhodir Jalolov.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson got her bid for a heptathlon medal under way but Britain’s hopes of retaining their women’s hockey title were ended after a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of favourites Holland.

Here, the PA news agency breaks down everything you need to know about Wednesday’s action.

What’s happened so far?

After falling in her first two runs of the final, Brown was successful with her last attempt, and a score of 56.47 was enough to make British history.

Gold and silver went respectively to Japanese pair Sakura Yosozumi and Kokona Hiraki who, aged 12, became the youngest Olympic medallist in 85 years.

Mills, who carried the British flag at the opening ceremony with rower Mohamed Sbihi, won silver in London and gold in Rio with Saskia Clark in the same boat.

Mills and McIntyre have dominated the regatta at Enoshima, winning two races and only twice finishing outside the top four, and they went into the medal race with a 14-point lead.

That meant they only needed to finish in the top seven to clinch gold and they were never in any danger, crossing the line comfortably in fifth.

Over at the Kokugikan Arena, the taller Whittaker attempted to establish the range with his jab but was repeatedly beaten to the punch by his slick southpaw opponent, who won the first two rounds on four of the five judges’ scorecards and did enough to see out the bout to secure gold.

Clarke, who had cuts above both eyes caused by headbutts in his disqualification win over Mourad Aliev, lost the first two rounds. A cut over his right eye grew steadily worse during the third round, leading to a stoppage as Jalolov progressed to the final.

Johnson-Thompson had a mixed bag, winning her 100 metres hurdles heat with her second fastest time ever, clocking 13.27 seconds, but in the high jump she cleared 1.86m – 12cm off her personal best. She was then pictured having treatment ahead of the 200m and shot put on Wednesday afternoon.

Britain’s reign as Olympic women’s hockey champions ended at the semi-final stage as Holland emphatically avenged defeat in the 2016 Rio final, when Team GB goalkeeper Maddie Hinch’s heroics during a penalty shoot-out ensured gold medal glory.

Alice Dearing became Britain’s first black Olympic female swimmer, finishing 19th in the 10km marathon.

What’s still to come?

Jason Kenny goes in the men’s sprint qualifying from 0730. The final takes place on Friday, when the cyclist has the chance to move clear of the British record Olympic gold tally he and Sir Chris Hoy currently share, with six apiece. Kenny became Britain’s most decorated Olympian after silver in the men’s team sprint on Tuesday.

Ben Maher, Harry Charles and Scott Brash are in action in the individual jumping event in the equestrian from 1100.
