Rio 2016 Day Twelve

Alike London 2012, day twelve saw no medals for GB but progress made towards future success with the highlight being the Women's Hockey as GB reached their first ever final with a comfortable 3-0 win over New Zealand. A superb brace from Alex Danson and Helen Richardson-Walsh's penalty secured the victory meaning GB will improve on their bronze in the event four years ago.

Another medal which is secured is in the Women's 470 Sailing with the duo of Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark having to wait an extra day to claim gold after the event was postponed due to a lack of wind at the Marina. Mo Farah continued his bid for a fourth Olympic gold as he survived a stumble in his 5000m heat to qualify third.

Elsewhere, Louise Thompson (JAM) added to her 100m title with the gold in 200m with GB's Dina Asher-Smith finishing fifth while the GB duo of Cindy Ofili and Tiffany Porter missed out on 100m hurdles medals as Brianna Rollins headed a US clean sweep. Brazil reached the Men's Football final with a 6-0 win over Honduras which saw a record breaking opening goal from Neymar inside 15 seconds.
