IT DOESN'T GET BIGGER THAN HEAVYWEIGHT TEDDY RINER
France's Teddy Riner, widely considered the most successful judoka of all time with eight world championships, four European titles and Olympic gold from London 2012, has advanced to the semi-finals in the men's 100kg judo competition at Carioca Arena 2.
He defeated Brazilian hopeful Rafael Silva in the quarter-finals, giving a master class in offence and defence by winning with a single throw since Silva did not score. He meets Israel's Or Sasson in the semi-final. The men's 100kg final is later tonight, at an unspecified time because competition depends on the length of the qualifying bouts.
Riner has won his last 54 matches, a winning streak that dates to 2010.See the full story >

RIGHT ON TARGET FOR OLYMPIC GOLD

Germany's Henri Junghaenel captured gold in men's 50m prone rifle after an impressive shooting display. He hit a near-perfect 10.8 four times at his first Olympic Games to outlast South Korea's Jonghyun Kim.
After he narrowly missed out on London 2012, Junghaenel was elated to hear his anthem here. "That sounds fabulous. Couldn’t sound better," he said. "It’s overwhelming, especially after I missed the last Olympic Games by just a very little, so I already accomplished everything with standing here in the final."

The fastest man on the planet got a special care package this week. The parents of Usain Bolt visiting the Jamaican sprinter in the athletes' village on the evening of 10 August before he goes for a 'triple-triple' in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay, at Rio 2016.
Wellesley and Jennifer Bolt asked if their son was healthy, given the fact he pulled out of his national trials last month with a sore hamstring. His mother said he was ready to go. Bolt told her, "Mom, if I wasn't ready, I wouldn't be here because I'm not into the losing thing. I'm ready."
Find out when Bolt races in the heats and finals for all three events.
