Team GB is fast out of the blocks to celebrate early Olympic silver and bronze medals

Cyclist Anna Henderson squeezes out rival to come second as divers Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen make a splash

Team GB was celebrating its best start to an Olympic Games in over four decades as Anna Henderson claimed silver in the women's road race time trial and divers Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen took bronze in the aquatics centre in Paris.

A British team had not won a medal on the first official day of an Olympics since 2004 and had last taken two of them back in the Moscow Games of 1980 but gutsy performances and a little luck delivered early success and raised fresh hopes of a record haul this summer.
