Nice . I'm always surprised that Canada aren't more competitive in these (but then, I guess there's always the Winter Olympics ).
And now we have another two golds . Boxer Galal Yafai just won one in the flyweight class:

And Joe Choong won gold in the men's modern pentathlon, taking our total up to 20:

Now, here's an interesting piece of trivia. The tiny nation of San Marino only has three medals: one silver, and two bronze. However, that's enough to give them the most medals per capita of any nation in the games: they have a population of 33,931, so their three medals works out at roughly 88.4 medals per million inhabitants. (By contrast, Team GB has 0.85 medals per million people - and China has only 0.06 !)
Quite impressive, really !
