After a 'day off' for the GB medal haul, day thirteen saw a superb resuming as the Brownlee brothers - Alistair and Jonny took gold and silver in the Men's Triathlon while Jade Jones retained her title to become a double Olympic champion at the age of 23 with the gold in the -57kg Taekwondo. More success came on the water as Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark triumphed in the Women's 470 Sailing.
A silver for Liam Heath and Jon Schofield in the Men's 200m Kayak Double and a bronze for the duo of Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge in the Men's Badminton Doubles took GB to just nine medals short of the awesome 65 from London 2012. Further medals are guaranteed with Nicola Adams assured at least silver in the Boxing as she aims to become the first
British boxer to retain an Olympic title for 92 years.
Elsewhere, Usain Bolt (JAM) completed his third Olympic sprint double by winning the Men's 200m while Ashton Eaton (USA) emulated Daley Thompson by winning back-to-back golds in the Decathlon.
