    Kenny wins fifth goldpublished at 11:29 British Summer Time 15 August 2016

    It was a win-win situation for Team GB when Jason Kenny faced compatriot Callum Skinner in the men's sprint final at Rio 2016.

    Kenny ended up coming out on top to win his fifth Olympic gold medal.

    "It is special, really special," said Kenny, who has now won as many Olympic golds as rower Sir Steve Redgrave and fellow cyclist Sir Bradley Wiggins.

    Only Sir Chris Hoy, also a cyclist, has won more but Kenny, 28, can equal his mark when he races in the keirin on Tuesday.

    "I'm really grateful," he told BBC Sport. "When we win, it feels like the team is winning and we have everyone behind us, pushing us."

    I don't think Max can quite believe he's won two gold medals. He came on to the scene in 2012, won the bronze there and kicked on.

    He's Commonwealth champion, European champion, world champion and now double Olympic champion. He's done everything.

    One gold medal wasn't enough for Max Whitlock in Rio.

    Only an hour after winning the men's floor event, he also outclassed the field in the men's pommel horse.

    It meant compatriot Louis Smith had to settle for silver - as he did at London 2012.  The poor fella looked distraught on the podium afterwards.

    But Smith said afterwards: "Max has been an absolute star in this competition. He's been incredible."

    Just don't let him anywhere near your Strictly Come Dancing glitterball trophy, Louis.

    Max Whitlock had an OK Sunday, I suppose.

    The 23-year-old made history by becoming Britain's first Olympic gold medallist in the men's floor exercise.  

    Whitlock was the third gymnast to go in the final, and set the standard with a virtually flawless routine. No-one was able to catch him in the end.  

    And his achievements didn't end there...

    The IAAF has to restore athletics' credibility - Johnsonpublished at 10:44 British Summer Time 15 August 2016

    Michael Johnson
    Four-time Olympic gold medallist athlete on BBC One

    It's a fantastic time for the sport from a performance standpoint but from the other side the sport has a huge credibility problem.

    I was talking to someone about world records and there is doubt. If the only way to stop people suspecting you is by running slower then the sport has a huge problem.

    The IAAF has to handle this and restore credibility otherwise people like Wayde van Niekerk will have the injustice of people questioning them. That's the fault of the federation not doing enough to ensure the sport is clean.

    The athletes came in one by one through the tunnel at the track and there were plenty of jeers when American sprinter Justin Gatlin, who has served two doping bans, came out for the 100m. 

    The 34-year-old American was also booed when the TV cameras panned across the runners on the starting line. He led the race before Usain Bolt surged past him but managed to claim silver.

    "I haven't really focused on the boos, you have to dial that kind of stuff out," said Gatlin. "At the end of the day, you hear everything, but you have to tune that kind of stuff out.

    "There's a lot of Usain Bolt fans, a lot of Jamaican fans but they don't know me, they don't know Justin. I work very hard and I have the respect of my competitors."

    The inclusion of golf at the Olympics for the first time since 1904 had been criticised after some high-profile pull outs but the competition served up a treat.

    The gripping battle for gold went down to the final hole between Great Britain's Justin Rose and Sweden's Henrik Stenson before the former came out on top. American Matt Kuchar claimed the bronze.

    "That felt better than anything I've ever won. It was the best tournament I've ever done," said 2013 US Open champion Rose.

    "Hopefully we've shown Brazil what golf is about. I'm glad it was close. Not for my nerves. For golf."

    Is Olympic double Murray's best?published at 10:11 British Summer Time 15 August 2016

    Andy Murray looked all along as if he would be too good and just too strong, but he had to play a quite brilliant game to prevent the match going to a deciding set.

    Some exceptional defence and some awesome returns allowed him to break back for five-all in the fourth set - and two games later he was a double Olympic champion.

    He may look back on this achievement as the greatest of his career. It will mean even more to him that he shared it with Max Whitlock, Justin Rose and Jason Kenny on such a special day for Team GB.

    Athletics

    New 400m world record holder Wayde van Niekerk is trained by Ans Botha, a 74-year-old great-grandmother who has been coaching track and field since the 1960s.

    They have been working together for the past three years, during which Van Niekerk has become world and now Olympic champion.

    Earlier this year, he ran 100m in 9.98 seconds to become the first athlete to run under 10 seconds for the 100m, 20 seconds for the 200m and 44 seconds for 400m.

    Van Niekerk is not the only member of his family to win a medal in Rio. His cousin, Cheslin Kolbe, won bronze with the South African rugby sevens team last week.

    Now, if Wayde van Niekerk wanted to have a calm build up to his 400m final, he wasn't helped by Premier League side Liverpool.

    The South African is a huge Reds fan and prepared for the race by watching their 4-3 win at Arsenal.

    "I was losing my mind because it was quite a tight match," he said.

    "I was so excited that we got the win over Arsenal. And my brother's an Arsenal fan. Now I've got the world record and Liverpool beat Arsenal. I've got a lot to brag about."
