Rio 2016 Day Ten

Day ten saw the GB medal haul slow down a bit but still continue as Mark Cavendish ended his long wait for an Olympic medal by claiming silver in the Men's Omnium. Charlotte Dujardin equalled Laura Trott's record of three golds she retained her Dressage title. History in the Women's Hammer as Sophie Hitchon became the first GB female medallist as she claimed the bronze.

The GB medal haul is currently one better than at the same stage of the London 2012 and contention in many more events, the goal of 48 medals is well within sight. The GB women are into the Hockey semi finals with Chris Langridge and Marcus Ellis at the same stage in Badminton. Laura Trott is going strong in the Women's Omnium and has the chance to secure her fourth Olympic gold.


Elsewhere, Shaunae Miller (BAH) took the win in the Women's 400m with a dive over the line to beat Alyson Felix (USA) while David Rudisha (KEN) retained his Men's 800m title.
