So far the Rio Olympics has been an historic one for Team GB but day eleven went even better with the goal of 48 medals not only surpassed but now sitting at 50 making Rio the best all-time overseas games for GB. Golden couple Laura Trott and Jason Kenny took their combined total to ten golds overall with wins in the Women's Omnium and Men's Keirin. Also in Cycling, Becky James added to her gold earlier in the games with a silver in the Women's Sprint.
GB success in the water continued with Giles Scott taking gold in the Men's Finn while Jack Laugher claimed a silver in the Men's 3m Springboard Diving. The day saw nine medals overall with a superb bronze for 16 year old Amy Tinkler in the Women's Floor coupled with bronzes for Katy Marchant in the Women's Track Cycling, Nile Wilson in the Men's High Bar and Joshua Buatsi in the Men's Light-Heavyweight Boxing.
The success in the Cycling saw GB top the sport's medal table with 12 with every member of the GB team securing at least one medal and the total of 50 in the overall medal table keeps GB second only to USA with five days still to go.
Away from the medals, Robbie Grabarz finished an agonising fourth in the Men's High Jump while Eilidh Doyle reached the final of the 400m Hurdles and Dina Asher-Smith secured a spot in the 200m final.
