With Saina Nehwal out of contention, India's hopes will be on P. V. Sindhu to bring home a badminton medal.

Usain Bolt, once again, ran the fastest 100m to clinch his third straight gold medal on day 10 of 2016 Rio Olympics. The Jamaican sprinter will now look to complete a 'triple triple' by winning the 200m and 4x100m races.

Andy Murray became the first player to win back-to-back Olympic gold medals in tennis after overcoming Argentina's Juan Martin de Potro 7-5, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5.

India remained without any medals Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna lost their bronze medal match to Czech Republic duo -- Radek Stepanek and Lucie Hradecka. Saina Nehwal crashed out of women's singles badminton, losing to Ukraine's Maria Ultina. Kidambi Srikanth and P. V. Sindhu, however, put up spirited performances to qualify to the knock outs.

On day 11, 17 gold medals will be up for grabs.
