Another Fantastic Saturday

Another Saturday, another fantastic medal haul to round off the penultimate day of the 2012 Olympics. The overall tally now stands at 62 with a fantastic 28 gold medals. Despite this fantastic achievement, Jamaica and Usain Bolt still couldn't be undermined as they once again created history in the Men's 4x100M Final. The team of Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Yohann Blake and Bolt took the gold (Bolt's third) with a new World Record time of 36.84 seconds. Team USA finished with silver in a National Record time of 37.04, Trinidad and Tobago won bronze with 38.12.

There have already been plenty of candidates to stake their claim for this year's Sports Personality of the Year award, now steps up Mo Farah. After his fantastic 10,000M gold last week, Farah returned to the track to add the 5,000M to his collection with a time of 13:41:66. Ethiopia's Dejen Gebremeskel took silver with a time of 13:41:98, Kenya's Thomas Pkemei Longosiwa won bronze with 13:42:36.

Cardiff's Luke Campbell also walked away with gold after beating Ireland's John Joe Nevin in the Bantam final. Campbell floored Nevin in the third round which helped him gain a 14-11 victory over the Irishman. This marks another youth prospect as the 24-year old has a glittering career in front of him.

The day began with gold today in the Men's K1 Kayak event. Britain's Ed McKeever took the 26th gold medal in a time of 36.246. He beat Spain's Saul Craviotto Rivero who took silver with 36.540 and Canada's Mark De Jonge who won bronze in 36.657.

Our final medal of the night came in the Men's 10m Diving event where 18-year old Tom Daley did his late dad proud. After squeezing through the preliminaries yesterday, Daley managed to finish fourth in the semi-final earlier today before doing battle in tonight's final. In the end, his 3.3 point dive in round six wasn't quite enough to secure gold and had to settle for bronze with a total of 556.95, and was duly belated. China's Qiu Bo won silver with 566.85 with USA's David Boudia claiming gold with a total of 568.65.

Unfortunately, the Men's Hockey team couldn't emulate the Women in today's bronze medal match against Australia. Simon Orchard put the Aussies ahead on 16:45 before a penalty corner from Iain Lewers levelled for GB on 28:39. However, they couldn't carry that momentum forward and found themselves behind again after a penalty corner from Jamie Dwyer on 47:56. The match was wrapped up for Australia when Kieran Govers made it 3-1 on 56:59.

The shock of the day was arguably seeing Brazil continue to wait for an Olympic Football gold medal. They faced Mexico in today's final and found themselves 1-0 down after just 29-seconds when poor defending allowed Oribe Peralta to score the quickest Olympic goal. Brazil looked shell shocked and their mountain became even steeper when Peralta headed his second goal home from a corner with 15-minutes left. Brazil tried to mount a comeback and did manage to pull a goal back through Hulk in injury time, but it would only prove as a consolation as Mexico walk away with gold.
