Usain Bolt stormed to his third consecutive gold in the men’s 200m race and eighth overall Olympic gold medal on Day 13, as he aims to conquer the 4X100 relay gold for the third time in as many Olympic finals. In men’s hockey, Argentina beat Belgium 4-2 in the final to claim the gold medal.
Usain Bolt claimed his second gold at Rio and eighth overall as he finished the men’s 200m race in 19.78 seconds while Canadian sprinter Andre de Grasse claimed the silver at 20.04 seconds. France's Christophe Lemaitre and Britain's Adam Gemili clocked the same time at 20.12 seconds, but Lemaitre claimed the bronze in a photo finish. The Jamaican now looks to defend his 4X100m relay gold to make it 9 out of 9 golds in all the events he ever participated in the Olympics.
Chinese diver Ren Qian became the youngest medallist at Rio by claiming the gold in the 10m platform diving event. Aged 15 years and 180 days, Qian took an unassailable lead in her fourth dive with a superb inward three-and-a-half somersault leaving compatriot Si Yajie, and Canada's Meaghan Benfeito to claim the silver and bronze respectively. Sadly,
she is not the youngest medallist of all-time as Dimitrios Loundras of Greece, who won the bronze in the 1896 Olympics, remains the youngest at the age of 10 years and 218 days .
