UNSUNG HERO

Oscar Figueroa became the first Colombian man to win an Olympics gold by taking out the weightlifting in the 62kg category.

The 33-year-old, silver medallist in London, was then believed to have retired, although he may yet consider Tokyo.

"I am full [of] emotions after 22 years of lifting weights. I might consider participating in Tokyo 2020," Figueroa said.

"It is true that I have been lifting all of the weight of Colombia, all of my country is happy. Right now it is a difficult moment because I am full of great and intense emotion."

MEDAL WATCH

The United States have moved top of the medal table with five golds and 19 in total thanks to swimmers Murphy and King. Hosszu won her second for Hungary, while hosts Brazil claimed their first thanks to judoka Rafaela Silva .
