112 YEARS' OF WAITING IS COMING TO AN END
There hasn't been an Olympic medallist in golf since 1904. That's all about to change today as the men's strokeplay event comes to an end.
Currently top of the leaderboard is GB's Justin Rose, one shot ahead of Sweden's Henrik Stenson. Marcus Fraser of Australia and the USA's Bubba Watson also in the mix.

BOM DIA FROM RIO
It's the morning after a historic night and the start of what promises to be another unforgettable day.

Plus we have some women's marathon action, the last day of fencing, cycling, gymnastics and much, more more. Stay tuned!
