Medal Count 2016 Olympics: Sunday Results, Standings and Latest Reaction
Michael Phelps, Monica Puig and Mo Farah stole the show during Super Saturday's 2016 Rio Olympic Games action, with all three winning gold medals.
Phelps won his final gold medal as a member of the USA's 4x100 metres medley relay team, bringing an end to his incredible Olympic career, while Puig beat Germany's Angelique Kerber to win Puerto Rico its first ever gold medal.
Farah retained his 10,000 metres title, and Jamaica's Elaine Thompson won the gold in the women's 100 metres. Compatriot Usain Bolt, arguably the biggest star of the Games, will compete in the 100 metres on Sunday.
Here's a look at the current medal standings:
Phelps and his American team-mates added yet another gold medal to their tally on Saturday in the final race of the 31-year-old's Olympic career. As shared by ESPN, he added yet another gold medal to widen the enormous gap in the all-time medal standings:
Phelps entered the pool as the USA's third swimmer and regained the lead for the team, allowing Nathan Adrian to finish the job. As shared by Bet365, Phelps didn't hide the fact he had retirement on his mind after the race:
At just 31 years of age, Phelps could realistically still compete in Japan in four years. But he has already won everything there is to win and has set records that likely won't be touched for decades.
He's not the only veteran to win the gold on Saturday in what could have been their last race. Farah, who will be 37 by the time the Tokyo Olympics kick off, took the gold in the 10,000 metres, despite an early tumble that had many doubting his chances.
As shared by Telegraph Sport, the British runner made hard contact with the track, but he got up to win the race, regardless:
He led the way on what was a good day for British athletics, as Jessica Ennis-Hill took silver in the heptathlon, just losing out to Belgium's Nafi Thiam. Greg Rutherford added a bronze.

Elsewhere, Puig sent Puerto Ricans all over the world into a delirium with a three-set win over Kerber, winning the nation its first-ever gold medal.
The 22-year-old dominated the World No. 2 in the final set after the two had split the first and second, finally making good on the enormous potential she has flashed for years. As shared by WTA Insider, her road to the gold was far from easy:
The 100 metres final will be among the most anticipated events on Sunday. The world will be watching Bolt, who cruised to the win in his first heat and has the chance to become the first man to win the gold in the 100 metres and 200 metres events in three consecutive Olympic Games.
The men's tennis tournament will also come to a conclusion, as Andy Murray and Juan Martin Del Potro go head-to-head for the gold.
