Team GB make history
It was all about the famous 'Super Saturday' back in London 2012 but last night Team GB'S athletes enjoyed Britain's most successful day in modern Olympics which moved them up to second in the overall medal table.
After watching Mo Farah make history winning the men's 10,000m in the early hours of Sunday morning, Team GB were clearly inspired and showed it in their performances.
Gymnast Max Whitlock made British history after winning two gold medals in just under two hours. Max is now the first British athlete to win two golds on a single day in a massive 44 years.
First Max surprisingly picked up gold in the men's floor performance and then managed to compose himself for a flawless performance on the pommel horse to beat off competition from fellow Team GB gymnast Louis Smith who took silver.
