Olympic 2016 Medal Count: Easy-to-Read Nation Rankings and Results on Saturday
The women's golf tournament will come to a conclusion during Saturday's 2016 Summer Olympics action, the penultimate day of this year's Games.
Korea's Inbee Park leads the field by two strokes, ahead of Lydia Ko of New Zealand and Gerina Piller of the USA, while Shanshan Feng sits one shot further back.
Elsewhere, the women's triathlon will also take place, and the men's badminton tournament will come to a conclusion. Medals will also be available in basketball, handball and canoeing, among others.
Here's a look at the current medal standings:
Park finally showed some cracks in her armour on Friday, shooting a round of one under to allow her top rivals for the gold to close the distance somewhat ahead of the final round.
The 28-year-old has been stricken by injuries this season and was a surprise contender on the first day of the golf competition, but her tremendous short game has been on point for three straight rounds, and her ability to finish has always been a strong suit.
As shared by Justin Ray of the Golf Channel, recent history suggests she's on her way to gold:
Per Golf Olympics, she has never doubted her play, either:
Park will have to hold off several explosive contenders, however, including Feng, who has been in excellent form of late and already has a Ladies European Tour win under her belt in 2016.
Teenage star Ko has also been playing well of late, and her play has improved throughout the tournament―her round of six under on Friday was by far her best score so far.
As shared by Randall Mell, she too knows how to finish the job:
In the women's triathlon, Gwen Jorgensen is the obvious favourite after three years of persistent domination on the ITU scene. She also won the Rio test event last year, and there's little doubt she's the best runner of the bunch.
That won't guarantee a gold medal or even a medal, however―Spain's Mario Mola was also supposed to make the difference in the final leg of the men's triathlon, and he didn't even finish on the podium. Swimming in the ocean as opposed to a lake presents an entirely new challenge for the athletes, and it could lay the foundation for an upset.

There will also be four Olympic medalists on the start line, including defending champion Nicola Spirig, who took the top spot after a thrilling race in London. Two-time world champion Helen Jenkins will also be racing, looking for redemption after her disappointing showing in London.
In badminton, China's Long Chen and Malaysia's Chong Wei Lee will renew their rivalry. The two met in the semi-finals four years ago, where Wei Lee advanced in two games to grab the silver, but since then, Long Chen has established himself as the top singles player in the world.
