It took a day and a half but cyclist Lizzie Armitstead finally put Britain on the medal table by taking silver in the women’s road race behind Marianne Vos of the Netherlands.
Interestingly it was in the same event in Beijing when Britain registered it's first medal, with Nicole Cooke taking Gold.
Hopefully this first medal will act as a springboard for other Team GB members to push on and try to break our record performance of four years ago.
