For Great Britain, the twelfth day of the Rio Olympic Games proved to be less profitable than previous days but that could change on Thursday.

Jade Jones defends her taekwondo title this afternoon and then, in an intriguing clash, brothers Alistair and Jonny Brownlee go head-to-head in the triathlon.

Nicola Adams, on the other hand, could reach the final in the women's boxing as Usain Bolt goes for a second gold of the summer in the early hours of the morning.

After the finale to their sailing race was delayed last night, Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark are all but assured of a gold medal this evening.

It comes after Brazil finally had a moment of to celebrate as Barcelona striker Neymar inspired the football team to an easy win against Honduras in the semi-final yesterday afternoon.
