Olympic 2016 Medal Count: Easy-to-View Nation Rankings for Tuesday's Results

Hosts Brazil claimed their first gold medal of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on Monday as Rafaela Silva won the 57kg women's judo final against Mongolia's Dorjsuren Sumiya to spark wild celebrations across the country.

The United States kept their place on top of the medal table as they picked up two more golds in swimming, while China also had two triumphs at the Olympic Aquatics Stadium—one in the men's 200-metre freestyle and another in the men's synchronised 10-metre platform.

Australia made history by winning gold in the women's rugby sevens, while Japan prevailed in the men's team gymnastics final, beating Russia and China, who took home silver and bronze, respectively. 

Here are how things stand heading into the fourth day of action, with more medals up for grabs in gymnastics, swimming, shooting, judo, fencing, eventing, diving and canoe slalom on Tuesday:

Fittingly, Brazil's first gold medalist at their home games is Rio de Janeiro born and bred, from the city's famous Cidade de Deus (City of God) favela community, per the Guardian's Les Carpenter and Jonathan Watts.

Silva was disqualified at London 2012 after an illegal hold in a preliminary round, but she made no mistake in Monday's final, as she scored a waza-ari over Dorjsuren early in the contest to help her hold the lead to the end in front of an adoring crowd at Carioca Arena 2.

Bleacher Report UK acknowledged the 24-year-old judoka's immense achievement:

In the pool, America's Lilly King won gold as she beat controversial Russian swimmer Yulia Efimova in the women's 100-metre breaststroke, setting an Olympic record time of one minute, 4.93 seconds.

Efimova was only cleared to compete at the 2016 Games on Saturday after initially being banned due to previous doping offences, and King made a point of referencing her clean record after beating the Russian into the silver-medal position, per SportsCenter:

In the men's 200 freestyle, China's Sun Yang overhauled South Africa’s Chad le Clos to win gold, reaching an unprecedented Olympic milestone, per ESPN's Paul Carr:

Meanwhile, Team USA's Ryan Murphy won gold in the men's 100-metre backstroke as he clocked an Olympic-record time of 51.97 seconds.

Chinese duo Lin Yue and Chen Aisen produced a stunning display to prevail by some distance in the men's 10-metre synchro diving.

Americans David Boudia and Steele Johnson claimed silver, while Team GB darling Tom Daley and partner Dan Goodfellow snatched the bronze from Germany's grasp with the very last dive of the competition, per BBC Sport's Dan Walker:

Daley and Goodfellow's bronze was matched for Britain by Ed Ling in the trap shooting, but it was largely a day of near misses for Team GB.

The women's rugby sevens team lost to Canada 33-10 in the bronze-medal match, James Guy could only manage fourth in the 200 freestyle and the men's gymnastics team also just missed out on a medal after Louis Smith fell off the pommel horse going all out to claim some silverware, per Olympics reporter Ollie Williams:

The women's team gymnastics final is one of the highlights of the timetable for Tuesday's action, with the United States, led by the extraordinary Simone Biles, entering as the heavy favourites.

Meanwhile, Katie Ledecky goes for her second gold of the 2016 Games in the women's 200 freestyle, and Michael Phelps looks to avenge his London 2012 defeat to Le Clos in the men's 200-metre butterfly final.
