As the second week of the Olympics starts to wrap up, there’s still no let up in the drama.
Here’s everything you need to know...
Rio 2016 Day 13 Highlights
Jade Jones won gold in the women’s taekwondo, retaining title she first won at the London 2012 games for Team GB. She beat Spain’s Eva Calvo Gomez to clinch the victory to become the third British woman to retain an individual Olympic title, after Charlotte Dujardin and Laura Trott.
Alistair and Jonny Brownlee won gold and silver in the men’s triathlon for Team GB , the first siblings to come first and second at the Olympics since 1960.
Team GB’s Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark went one better than their silver from London 2012, bringing their sailing 470 (dinghy) partnership to a dream end by winning gold.
There was also a medal upgrade from 2012 for GB’s Liam Heath and Jon Schofield. The pair won silver in the men’s kayak 200m after taking bronze in 2012.
Britons Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge won Great Britain’s first Olympic badminton medal since 2004. They beat China’s Biao Chai and Hong Wei to take the bronze.
GB’s Olympic flyweight champion Nicola Adams is set to fight in the gold medal match on Saturday – against France’s Sarah Ourahmoune – after defeating China’s Cancan Ren in her semi-final contest.
Usain Bolt completed a Rio 2016 sprint double by taking gold in the 200m. The three-time 100m and and 200m champion is now just one 4x100m relay run away from his Olympic ‘triple triple’.
Classiest Response Of The Day
They say finishing fourth in the Olympics is the most painful place to be.
But to be placed outside the medals when clocking exactly the same time as the rival who took bronze must be doubly excruciating for Adam Gemili.
Although he had the same time - 20.12 - as France’s Christophe Lemaitre in the men’s 200m, the Londoner lost out on bronze by just three thousandths of a second.
He said he was “heartbroken” at the result but rather than showing bitterness, the Team GB athlete responded with absolute class.
He said: “Britain are not here to fill lanes anymore. We’ve got guys that can make these finals, and we will continue to do so. I’ll re-convene with my coach and get it right when in matters.”
Confusion Of The Day
Most people assume a red card is the worst penalty a sportsperson can be handed - something which left those watching the taekwondo extremely confused...
The red card in taekwondo signifies a video review.
The Curious Case Of The US Swimming Team
Rio police have now said group of US Olympic swimmers fabricated claims they were robbed at gunpoint in Rio and could be charged with vandalism and giving false testimony.
The unpicking of their story was followed by the US Olympic Committee apologising for “unacceptable behaviour”.
Ryan Lochte, Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and James Feigen have caused the biggest scandal of the Games after Lochte told US television of a robbery involving gunmen impersonating police officers, who pulled over their taxi in the early hours of Sunday, as they returned to the Athletes’ Village from a party.
However, their story has been called into question by authorities.
Three of the swimmers are being prevented from leaving Brazil pending the outcome of the police investigation. Lochte returned to the US on Monday.
