Team GB's Georgia Taylor-Brown has won silver in the triathlon after battling back from a flat tyre. The Olympian went into the race as the reigning world champion and one of the favourites for the title.

But she had to play catch-up on the 10 kilometres run after getting a flat tyre on the last lap of the bike leg. She quickly caught Team GB team-mate Jess Learmonth, who finished ninth, and Germany's Laura Lindemann.

But there was no catching Duffy as she won Bermuda's first ever Olympic gold medal in one hour, 53.36 minutes. Speaking after the final Taylor-Brown said: "I had a really good swim and I got out and we had 35 seconds and I thought this is perfect. "The bike - we worked really well, I got a puncture coming out of the park
