Saturday sees more gold medals go up for grabs, and you can track the competing nations’ progress below:

On Friday, Usain Bolt once again stole the headlines, as he recorded an emphatic "triple-triple" of gold medals on the track.

Alongside Asafa Powell, Yohan Blake and Nickel Ashmeade, Bolt added the 4x100-meter relay gold to his 100-meter and 200-meter titles—matching his astonishing feats of the past two Olympic Games.

Bolt was the last man to run for Jamaica, and although he was level with Canada, the United States and Japan when taking the baton, he surged clear to win in style. After the race, Bolt dedicated his ninth gold medal to his fans:

Medal chart toppers USA were set to boost their massive medal haul with a bronze in the 4x100m relay, but they were disqualified after Mike Rodgers was judged to have passed the baton to Justin Gatlin outside the exchange zone.

Victory for Felix made her the first woman in history to win five medals on the track, and Golden State Warriors star Andre Iguodala was one of many singing her praises:

USA’s closest competitors in the medal table are Great Britain and China, and Friday once again proved a fruitful day for both nations.

Great Britain won gold in the women’s hockey, the equestrian jumping individual and jump-off, plus they narrowly missed out on taekwondo gold.

China, meanwhile, won the badminton men’s doubles and the women’s 20-kilometer walk race to close the gap on the top two.
