Medals and confusion in Rhodes

The Isle of Man's medal tally is creeping up.

Last night, Olivia Rawlinson claimed two bronzes in the swimming pool and Andrew Roche won silver in the cycling Road Race, which came amidst mass confusion.

During the race, one group of cyclists including Manx rider Graham Hatcher, were taken the wrong way by police, and an Yns Mon rider was injured in a crash with a lead vehicle.

Traditionally, all three shooters would be given medals.

Ann Callister and Jake Keeling were the competitors who missed out.

Jake is not happy:
