Olympic 2016 Results: Saturday's Live Updating Medal Count and Standings

Christopher SimpsonAug 13, 2016

Great Britain will be hoping for a repeat of "Super Saturday" at the 2016 Rio Olympics as they bid to recreate their incredible haul of six golds and a silver from four years ago.

The trio who dominated the headlines in London that day—Jessica Ennis-Hill, Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford—will once again be competing in the conclusion of the women's heptathlon, the men's 10,000-metre final and the men's long jump final respectively.

Elsewhere, Britain will be hoping for success in the rowing and in the velodrome with the women's team pursuit final, while the women's 100-metre final is also not to be missed. Eurosport UK gave a rundown of Saturday's top events:

Read on for a closer look at what's to come, but first, here is the live medal table:

In London, Farah cemented his place in Olympic history when he won gold in both the 10,000- and 5,000-metre races, and he'll have the chance to add a third in the former event on Saturday.

If he can defend his title, he'll become the first British athlete to win three track and field gold medals at the Olympics. 

The 33-year-old produced an impressive warm-up for Rio at the Anniversary Games in July, where he ran the 5,000-metre race in under 13 minutes.

Per the Guardian's Sean Ingle, Farah is pleased with his form heading into the Olympics: "It would be amazing to win three golds, or even four. I’m not going to lie to you, I’m in decent shape as it shows. The five-kilometre at the Anniversary Games was good for me. I ticked the boxes."

Nevertheless, he's wary of the threat that Kenyan athletes such as Geoffrey Kamworor pose: "It’s four years so they’ve had to come up with something. So I’ve changed a few things in training to think what they’re going to do and work on certain things."

Meanwhile, Olympic long jump champion Rutherford suffered a real scare as he scraped his way into the final on Friday.

The 29-year-old fouled on his first two jumps, but sealed his place in the final with his last attempt, per Team GB:

His jump put him just 10th of the 12 to progress, so he'll need to put in a more assured showing if he's to defend his title on Saturday.

In the velodrome, it promises to be a thrilling final to the women's team pursuit.

Great Britain and the USA were by far the most impressive teams in qualifying. The former, which includes 2012 gold medallists Laura Trott and Joanna Rowsell-Shand along with Elinor Barker and Katie Archibald, set a world record on Thursday, per BBC Sport:

The Telegraph's cycling correspondent Tom Cary was impressed:

The Americans were close behind but have room to improve after losing a rider in a slower and slightly haphazard final kilometre.

Australia or Canada might also have a say, though they'll need to significantly improve on their qualifying times to pose a threat, having been around five seconds slower than the U.S. and six behind Great Britain.

For those watching in the UK, many of the medals won't be dished out until after midnight, but it may well be worth staying up for.
