Clay Shooting: Josip Glasnovic won Croatia's first gold of the Olympics in the trap-shooting, beating Italy's Giovanni Pellielo in a four-shot shoot- off. Glasnovic, a 33-year-old who also competed in Beijing in 2008, hit a perfect 15 of 15 in the semi-final but missed two in the final. He then fired four of four in the shoot-off. Italy's Giovanni Pellielo, 46, earned his third silver medal in his seventh Olympic appearance. Edward Ling, a 33-year-old Briton, took the bronze medal from David Kostelecky of the Czech Republic, in a 13-9 round.

Judo: Brazil’s Rafaela Silva overcame top seed Sumiya Dorjsuren, of Mongolia, to win gold in the women’s -57kg judo last night, sending the crowd into joyous celebration of their first Olympic gold as host country. Silva raised her arms to the crowd in triumph as she beat Dorjsuren on a waza-ari, following a pulsating semi-finals victory that went into extra time against Romania’s Corina Caprioriu. Portugal’s Telma Monteiro and Japan’s Kaori Matsumoto won bronze.

Shooting: Italy’s Niccolo Campriani won gold in the Olympic men’s 10-metre air rifle yesterday with a score of 206.1 after Serihy Kulish, of Ukraine, made his final shot poorly, widening what had been a razor-thin gap between the two. Campriani, a 28-year-old, three-time Olympian and 2012 silver medalist, established an Olympic record of 630.2 in the qualifying round and his competition score also now qualifies as an Olympic record. There had not been a comparable previous record due to a rule change. Russia’s Vladimir Maslennikov, 21, took bronze on his debut with a score of 184.2.

Diving: China’s Chen Aisen and Lin Yue as expected won gold in the men’s 10 metre synchronized diving at the Rio Games last night, keeping alive the country’s goal of a clean sweep in all eight events. David Boudia and Steele Johnson, of the US, and Britain’s Tom Daley and Daniel Goodfellow won the silver and bronze medals. With near perfect execution and synchronization scores, the world champions won by a wide margin.
