Mo Farah stars as Team GB gain three more golds at the Olympic Games in Rio

There wasn't quite a Super Saturday repeat for Team GB on the athletics track in Rio but there was still plenty to celebrate at the Olympic Games.

Great Britain went into the day hoping for a repeat of London 2012 when Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Greg Rutherford almost brought the house down at the Olympic Stadium by winning gold medals on the same evening.

All three were in action again on Saturday night in Brazil but it would end up as one medal of each colour, with Farah the only one able to defend his title.

Farah had his fair share of trouble in the 10,000m as he tumbled to the track after clipping heels with training partner Galen Rupp in the early stages of the race.

But he brushed himself off and eventually beat Kenya's Paul Tanui after a prolonged battle over the last lap.

Ennis-Hill claimed silver in the heptathlon, losing her title to young Belgian star Nafissatou Thiam by just 35 points.

After losing ground to Thiam in the long jump, and more so the javelin, Ennis-Hill needed to beat her rival by 10 seconds in the 800m but she came up around two seconds shy.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson finished sixth after losing any chance she had of a medal with a poor performance in the javelin.

Rutherford was involved in one of the most exciting long jump competitions in Olympic history but his best of 8.29m was only good enough for third place.

Jeff Stevenson claimed the gold medal with his final jump.

Elsewhere there was more gold to celebrate at the velodrome where Britain's women set another world record in winning the team pursuit final.

Joanna Rowsell-Shand, Elinor Barker, Katie Archibald and Laura Trott defeated the United States in the final with Trott becoming the first British woman to win three gold medals.

Team GB are also guaranteed another gold medal on Sunday when team sprint gold medal winners Jason Kenny and Callum Skinner face off in the individual sprint final.

And Becky James claimed a silver medal in the women's keirin event, narrowly failing to catch winner Elis Ligtlee after coming with a flying finish.

Andy Murray will bid to defend his men's tennis singles title on Sunday against Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro.

Murray easily beat Kei Nishikori in Saturday's semi-final while Del Potro stunned Rafa Nadal, who had already won gold in the men's doubles.

Britain's first gold on Saturday came at the Lagoa Stadium, courtesy of the rowing team, as the men's eight claimed victory over old rivals Germany.

There was also a silver medal for the women's eight as competition came to a close.

Indoor swimming competition is also over and there was a silver medal for Team GB in the closing 4x100m medley relay.

Chris Walker-Hebborn, Adam Peaty, James Guy and Duncan Scott took second place behind the United States, with Michael Phelps winning his 23rd gold medal and Ryan Murphy breaking the 100m backstroke world record on the opening leg.

Giles Scott is on the verge of a sailing gold medal in the Finn class and Ireland could also be among the medals, courtesy of Laser Radial competitor Annalise Murphy.

Joe Joyce made a spectacular entrance to the super-heavyweight boxing competition with a stunning knockout of Davilson Dos Santos Morias of the Cape Verde Islands.

And the inaugural men's golf competition comes to a close on Sunday with Great Britain's Justin Rose one shot ahead of Sweden's Open champion Henrik Stenson with 18 holes remaining.

Britain remain in third place in the medal table after eight days with a total of 30 medals - 10 of them gold, 13 silver and seven bronze. The United States lead with 60 (24G, 18S, 18B).
