KENNY DO IT? YES HE CAN!
Jason Kenny has beaten Callum Skinner in the men's sprint final to claim his fifth Olympic Games gold medal and his second of Rio 2016. The British cyclist stayed ahead of his compatriot throughout the second race of the final and could not be pegged back. He punches the air in celebration. What an achievement.

'A CROSS BETWEEN A GOLD TOURNAMENT AND A CARNIVAL'
Justin Rose, the universe's first Olympic golf champion for 112 years, is feeling pretty good about his gold medal.
"Oh my God. That felt better than anything I've ever won. It was the best tournament I've ever done. It felt like a cross between a golf tournament and a carnival. It was unique, incredible," the 36-year-old Briton said.
"Coming up with that last pitch when I needed it was magical. Hopefully we've shown Brazil what golf is about. I'm glad it was close, not for my nerves, for golf. It took world-class golf to win today."
And that's from a man who has also won a Major.

NADAL WILL HAVE TO MAKE DO WITH ONE MEDAL
Rafael Nadal has been defeated in the bronze medal match of the men's singles. Kei Nishikori had only beaten the Spaniard once before today but was able to win comfortably in three sets: 6-2,6-7(1), 6-3.
While Nadal already has a few Olympic golds, one from Rio 2016, Nishikori has never before participated in an Olympic Games. Not bad for a first go!
NO GOLD FOR VENUS
Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Jack Sock have beaten Venus Williams and Rajeev Ram to win mixed doubles gold for the USA.
After winning three Olympic Games women's doubles titles and singles gold at Sydney 2000, this was the one tennis event that eluded Venus. A silver isn't too shabby though...
The USA are about to win mixed doubles tennis gold.

FRANCE GET CLOSE... BUT NO CIGAR
The USA men's basketball team has won by a whisker for the second game in succession, beating France 100-97, a couple of days after their 94-91 triumph against Serbia. Are the USA's opponents' getting closer to them, or are the Americans just easing off in the final few minutes? Guess we'll find out when the knockout phase starts in a couple of days time.
FIRST OLYMPIC GOLF CHAMPION FOR 112 YEARS
That's what Justin Rose can tell his grandchildren. The British golfer, who lit up the Olympic Golf Course on the first day with a hole in one, has now achieved something far bigger. Going into the final hole neck-and-neck with Henrik Stenson, Rose took advantage of a bogey from the Swede to sink his birdie putt and seal victory by two shots.
