Rio Olympics 2016 medal table: Great Britain win three more golds as they maintain grip on second place

GREAT BRITAIN picked up three more gold medals on Tuesday as their glorious Olympic Games continued in Rio.

There was double delight on the final day of the velodrome after Giles Scott had collected his sailing gold - taking Team GB to 19 gold medals.

The tally is as many as they won in Beijing in 2008, but the 50 medals Britain have won overall is now their highest ever tally at an oversees Olympics.

Laura Trott won the second gold medal of the day with a dominant victory in the omnium, and that was followed by her fiance Jason Kenny winning the keirin for his sixth Olympic gold.

Becky James also won silver in track cycling in the women's sprint while Jack Laugher picked up the same colour in the men's 3m springboard diving.
