Rio 2016: Yesterday's Highlights

For Great Britain, the twelfth day of the Rio Olympic Games has been quieter than the last, which saw Jason Kenny and Laura Trott confirmed their status as the country's golden couple.

Trott became Britain's greatest-ever female Olympian on Tuesday, winning her fourth gold in the women's omnium, while Kenny took his sixth Olympic gold in the men's keirin.

On Wednesday, Mo Farah's defence of his 5,000m title began successfully with qualification for Sunday's final.

Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark were made to wait for their guaranteed sailing gold in the women's 470 after racing was postponed until Thursday.

Britain's women hockey team secured a minimum silver medal with an impressive 3-0 semi-final win over New Zealand.

More on the sad news Pele will not be able to attend tonight because of ill health. 

"I'm not in physical condition to take part in the opening ceremony," Pele said.

"Only God is more important than my health. In my life, I've had fractures, surgeries, pain, hospital stays, victories and defeats. And I've always respected those who admire me."
