Day Five saw history made in the water for GB with a first ever diving gold in the Men's 3m Synchro Diving as Jack Laugher and Chris Mears topped the standings with a score of 454.32 while Joe Clarke took gold in the Men's K1 Kayak with a superb final run.
A great day of medals for GB started with Chris Froome taking bronze in the Men's Individual Time Trial followed by a bronze for Steve Scott in the Men's Double Trap Shooting as he defeated compatriot Tim Kneale.
GB judoka Sally Conway was unfortunate to lose in Golden Score to Yuri Alvear (COL) in the semi finals of the -70kg Judo but sealed a bronze medal as she defeated Bernadette Graf (AUT). In Artistic Gymnastics Men's Individual All Around Final, a 108 year wait for any medal in the event came to an end as Max Whitlock took bronze as Kohei Uchimura (JPN) successfully retained his title from 2012.
A sudden death 5-0 win for GB in the Rugby Sevens against Argentina saw them reach the last four while the superb medal haul put GB's total at 12 - two more than at the same stage at London 2012. Andrew Willis almost made it seven medals on day five when finishing fourth in the men's 200m breaststroke, won by Kazakhstan's Dmitriy Balandin. Also in the Swimming, Katie Ledecky secured her third gold of the games as part of the USA quarter in the Women's 4x200m Freestyle Relay while Michael Phelps kept up his pursuit of a 22nd gold as he beat compatriot Ryan Lochte in the 200m Individual Medley. Gold for 18-year old Kyle Chambers as the Australian took the Men's 100m Freestyle title.
