Shanaze Reade's bid for BMX glory was halted by heavy rain on Thursday, forcing her event to be put back 24 hours.

The 19-year-old double world champion is widely expected to challenge for gold and will now go in the second semi-final at 9.30am (2.30am BST) on Friday.

Reade had a nasty fall in her first seeding run Thursday but recovered to post the second quickest time in the qualifying session.
