Olympic 2016 Medal Count: Sunday's Updated Tally, List of Winners and Results

Tom SunderlandAug 14, 2016

A superb weekend of sport at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro will come to a head on Sunday evening, as Jamaica's Usain Bolt will defend his 2012 gold medal in the 100-metre dash in the men's final.

Rio won't wait until then to entertain its crowds, though, and Kenyan Jemima Sumgong clinched gold in the women's marathon to kick off Sunday's schedule in style.

Silver and bronze were taken by Eunice Kirwa of Bahrain and Ethiopia's Mare Dibaba, respectively, but the athletics slate is only set to get shorter and sweeter as Sunday progresses, ending with the men's 100-metre crescendo.

Later on Sunday, Great Britain's Justin Rose became the first player in 112 years to win olympic gold in the golf tournament, beating Sweden's Henrik Stenson by a single shot with an overall score of 15-under-par.

Rose became the first golfer to clinch Olympic gold in 112 years.

The rewards didn't stop there for Great Britain, though, after gymnast Max Whitlock whirled and flipped his way to two gold medals in the finals of the men's floor exercise and pommel horse.

Dorian van Rijsselberghe of the Netherlands put the finishing touches on his gold medal in the men's windsurfing final, while France's Charline Picon matched the feat by placing atop the podium in the women's final.

There was a second Rio 2016 Olympics gold for Italy's Niccolo Campriani, too, after he won the men's 50-metre rifle three positions in last-gasp style.

Sunday will also see cycling hit a fever pitch, with the men's sprint finals, while the golf tournament is also nearing its closing stages and four gymnastics finals promise to light up the evening schedule.

Here's how the standings look after Saturday's early results:

Recap

Rose and Stenson came into Sunday as the top picks to duke it out for gold and silver, and the pair didn't disappoint as they matched one another step by step until the very last hurdle.

It was at the 18th that Stenson's poor approach saw him fail to match Rose's birdie and drop a critical bogey, forcing the Swede to settle for silver, while the United States' Matt Kuchar claimed bronze:

Kuchar finished third in the leaderboard with a score of nine-under-par overall, but the American deserved praise for a Day 4 performance that saw him go round with a tremendous 63, eight-below-par.

LBC's John Cushing highlighted a swift Sunday night blitz for Great Britain, too:

It was a surprisingly successful day for Team GB in the gymnastics, too, after Whitlock paved the way to two more golds in the pommel horse and floor exercise finals.

Speaking to BBC Sport after those two triumphs, the 23-year-old still appeared to be in a state of shock following his triumphs:

Whitlock finished just ahead of Brazilian duo Diego Hypolito and Arthur Mariano, who claimed respective silver and bronze medals in the floor exercise, while his British team-mate Louis Smith took silver in the pommel, followed by Alex Naddour of the United States.

Despite his compatriot's success, Smith didn't too much to hide his emotion after having to settle for second place, however, per Riath Al-Samarrai of the Daily Mail:

The first gold medal of Sunday's slate took longer than two hours to decide, but it was worth it after Sumgong crossed the line to take first, while world champion Dibaba was forced to settle for the bronze.

Kenya's Ministry of Sports, Culture and the Arts was quick to heap praise on their newly christened champion, who finished nine seconds clear of her nearest foe, Kirwa:

The conditions made for a hot and bothersome race in Rio de Janeiro, so it was no surprise to see Sumgong finish just under a minute shy of the Olympic record, which remained intact.

However, it was a very successful outing for the American trio of Shalane Flanagan, Desiree Linden and Amy Cragg, as shown by the International Association of Athletics Federations:

The United States trio finished sixth, seventh and ninth, respectively, and ended the race as the most heavily represented nation in the top 10, albeit without a medal to their name.

Ethiopian Tirfi Tsegaye finished 17 seconds shy of a podium place in fourth behind countrywoman Dibaba, while Volha Mazuronak of Belarus was the only European representative to finish among the top 10.

In the Greco-Roman wrestling, Cuban Ismael Borrero Molina defeated Japan's Shinobu Ota to build on the 2015 World Championship he claimed last year and clinch gold in the 59-kilogram division.

German outlet DW Sports noted it was a maiden victory for Cuba at these Games as well: 

Elmurat Tasmuradov of Uzbekistan and Norway's Stig-Andre Berge shared the bronze medals in that weight category, while North Korea's Hyeonwoo Kim and Saeid Morad Abdvali of Iran did so in the 75-kilogram class.

Kim beat Croatian Bozo Starcevic to take his medal, while a penalty-ridden performance from Hungary's Peter Bacsi saw Abdvali take third place.

Russian Roman Vlasov was clinical in the final against four-time world silver medallist, Norway's Mark Overgaard Madsen, en route to taking the top gong with a 5-0 win and the Olympic gold he won at London 2012.

Campriani took to his final in the men's 50-metre rifle three positions later on Sunday, and the Western Virginia University graduate left it late to seal his win, per the National Collegiate Athletic Association:

Russia's Sergey Kamenskiy finished with a silver by the slimmest of margins, and his score of 458.5 was good enough for gold until Campriani's final shot saw him push clear by a gap of just 0.3 points.

Alexis Raynaud snatched bronze for France after scoring 448.4, some 10 points off the top two, but a sensational achievement for the 21-year-old young gun nonetheless.
