Andy Murray and Laura Robson reached the Mixed Doubles semis by defeating Australian's Sam Stosur and Lleyton Hewitt 2-1 and met Christopher Kas and Sabine Lisicki of Germany and later on sealed a place in the final winning again 2-1 meaning Murray is at minimum a double Olympic silver medallist.

Gold for GB courtesy of Mo Farah in the 10,00m becoming the first ever GB winner of the event, his win formed part of a triple gold in the Olympic stadium as Greg Rutherford clinched gold in the Long Jump final and Golden Girl Jess Ennis stormed home in the 800m to become Olympic champion to rapturous applause and cheering as she sped across the line.

Christine Ohuruogu qualified for the semis of the 400m finishing second in her heat and Holly Bleasdale reached the Pole Vault final.

Dani King, Laura Trott and Jo Rowsell win gold and set a world record of 3:14.051 in the women's team pursuit final meaning they have broken a WR in all six rounds of the competition.

Team GB were beaten in a penalty shootout 5-4 by South Korea after drawing 1-1 after extra time with the losing penalty by GB missed by Daniel Sturridge.

A superbly Super Saturday with SIX golds in one day only two short of the 1908 record win which 56 in all were won so here is a golden looking medal table..
