Rio 2016 Day Fifteen

Day Fifteen saw it become official that Rio 2016 is the most successful games for GB since 1908 and the best overseas medal haul of all time with 66 medals so far.. Mo Farah completed the 'double double' as he retained his Men's 5000m title while Nicola Adams also retained her Women's Flyweight title from London 2012 and Liam Heath took gold in the Men's Kayak Single 200m. 

Mahama Cho narrowly missed out on a medal in the +80kg Taekwondo as he finished fourth while Charley Hull finished just outside the medals in the Women's Golf.

Silver medals came for Vicky Holland in the Women's Triathlon and Bianca Walkden in the Women's +67kg Taekwondo. The final GB medal of the day came in Athletics as the Women's 4x400m quartet of Eilidh Doyle, Anyika Onuora, Emily Diamond and Christine Ohuruogu took bronze to seal a first medal in the event for GB since 1992.

Elsewhere, Caster Semenya (RSA) took gold in the Women's 800m while Neymar struck the crucial penalty in the final of the Men's Football as Brazil took gold ahead of Germany. Allyson Felix clinched a record sixth career Olympic gold as the United States won the 4x400m relay for a sixth straight Games.
