Niekerk 400 WR, Bolt triple triple, US team 31 medals, S. Miller 400 finish, Farah double, DaSilva PV gold.
Rio2016 disappointments: fan booing, lack of spectators, late events, distance between venues, crime, lack of assistance, trafficX20!

Mongolian lifter fails drugs test
Mongolian weightlifter Chagnaadorj Usukhbayar has been kicked out of Olympics for testing positive for testosterone. The 19-year-old failed to make the final of the -56kg division and becomes the sixth weightlifter to test positive at the Games. Kyrgyzstan's Izzat Artykov was the most high-profile, having won a bronze medal in the -69 kg. (AFP)
