British fighter Nicola Adams has won her second-straight Olympic boxing gold medal.
Adams, the first woman to win an Olympic boxing title at the London Games, made it back-to-back gold with a unanimous decision victory over French boxer Sarah Ourahmoune.
Adams swept the scorecards 39-37 to win lightweight gold and become the first two-time women's Olympic boxing champion.
Ourahmoune had a big rally in the second and third rounds to keep the fight a bit closer than expected. But Adams won the decisive fourth round on all three cards and thumped her chest and pointed toward the sky when the decision was announced.

Jenny Rissveds of Sweden pulled away late from Maja Wloszczowska of Poland to win gold at the women's mountain bike race.
The riders were alone together at the head of the field starting the last of the six-plus lap race. Rissveds then powered away on the first long uphill of the 3-mile course, building an insurmountable lead on Wloszczowska.
Rissveds finished with a time of 1 hour, 30 minutes, 15 seconds - which was 37 seconds faster than the silver medalist. Catharine Pendrel held off Canadian teammate Emily Batty for the bronze.
7:05 p.m.
Inbee Park's first victory of the season might just be the biggest of her career - a gold medal in women's golf.
Park made three straight birdies early in the final round Saturday, never let anyone closer than three shots the rest of the way and closed with a 5-under 66 for a five-shot victory at Olympic Golf Course.
Lydia Ko of New Zealand didn't stand a chance, and neither anyone else.
Ko, the No. 1 player in women's golf, made an 8-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 69 to claim the silver. Shanshan Feng of China shot 69 and took the bronze.
Park, battling a thumb injury all year that led to speculation she was going to retire, had not faced top competition in two months and missed the last two majors on the LPGA Tour. She took time off to prepare for the Olympics, but when she missed the cut in a Korean LPGA event, the 28-year-old from South Korea heard chatter that she should give up her spot to another player in better form.
Instead, she reminded her golf-mad nation why she ranks among the best.
6:40 p.m.
Serbia counted down the final minute before running to midcourt to celebrate, capping off its first Olympics in women's basketball with a bronze medal by beating France 70-63 on Saturday.
Jelena Milovanovic scored 18 points for the Serbs, who were jumping up and down on the bench with hands clasped waiting for the final horn. The crowd helped count down the final seconds and after the game the Serbia team tossed coach Marina Maljkovic into the air a couple of times.
France leaves its third Olympics without any hardware after taking silver at the 2012 London Games.
The Serbs appeared stunned after their loss to Spain in the semifinals Thursday. They rebounded well, racing out to a 12-3 lead and were up 18-10 after the first quarter. When France went up 40-37, Serbia finished the third quarter scoring on an 18-2 run and never trailed again.
Endy Miyem led France with 18 points.
6:35 p.m.
The U.S. protest in the men's 4x100 meter relay has been rejected, and Canada will keep the bronze medal.
The Americans were disqualified from the final, won by Jamaica, for an illegal baton exchange in the first passing zone.
Officials ruled Mike Rodgers handed the stick to Justin Gatlin before it reached the 20-meter zone.
The United States finished third, but minutes later, the team was disqualified, and the U.S. protested.
It marked the ninth time since 1995 that the U.S. men have either been disqualified or failed to finish the 4x100 at world championships or the Olympics.

They came for a third-straight Olympic gold, but Norway's women's handball team had to settle for bronze.
After being defeated in the semifinals by Russia, Norway recovered well to beat the Netherlands 36-26 in Saturday's bronze medal game.
Nora Mork scored seven goals for Norway, which led 19-13 at half time and played strong defense in the second half to hold off a Dutch fightback.
Norway has now won a women's handball medal at six of the last eight Olympics, including gold in 2008 and 2012.
6:15 p.m.
Gwen Jorgensen gave the U.S. its first Olympic triathlon gold medal Saturday, crushing the field at breezy Copacabana Beach in 1 hour, 56 minutes and 16 seconds.
Nicola Spirig of Switzerland, who won gold in London four years ago when Jorgensen was bamboozled by a flat tire, crossed 40 seconds later for the silver medal. Vicky Holland outsprinted British teammate Non Stanford to win the bronze.
Jorgensen was drafting with Spirig for the entire run after they dismounted their bikes together but after smiling at Spirig with about two kilometers left, Jorgensen made her breakaway and wouldn't be challenged.
As she approached the blue ribbon, the former All-American track athlete and swimmer at the University of Wisconsin turned and Spirig wasn't anywhere in site. Jorgensen flipped up her goggles, acknowledged the cheers with a wide smile and grabbed the tape above her head after crossing the finish.
Then, she broke down in tears.
The only other American to win an Olympic triathlon medal was Susan Williams, the silver medalist at the 2004 Athens Games.
6 p.m.
Great Britain's James Cooke has set an Olympic modern pentathlon record in swimming to lead after one event.
Cooke finished the 200-meter race in 1 minute, 55.60 seconds, breaking the record of 1:55.70 set by Egypt's Amro El Geziry at the 2012 London Games.
Cooke has 354 points, one ahead of El Geziry with four events to go.
4:30 p.m.
The Australian Olympic team says nine of its athletes have been fined after being detained for falsifying games accreditations.
They were taken into custody after Olympic Park games officials suspected their accreditations had been tampered with to gain access to Australia's basketball semifinal against Serbia.
The athletes were facing waiting a wait of at least three weeks before facing a court, but the team says an expedited hearing resulted in them being fined 10,000 reals ($3,100) each.
The team says "no criminal conviction would be recorded and any record of the proceeding would be expunged after two years."
Chiller said the athletes were "not at fault" but said she couldn't specify why.
The athletes are: Ashlee Ankudinoff (cycling), Melissa Hoskins (cycling), Ed Jenkins (rugby), Alec Potts (archery), Ryan Tyack (archery), Olympia Aldersey (rowing), Fiona Albert (rowing), Lucy Stephan (rowing), Simon Orchard (hockey).
Australia team leader Kitty Chiller said it's a "traditional" practice for people to put a sticker on accreditation with another venue's access code but it's treated more seriously in Brazil.
4:25 p.m.
China's Chen Long has won gold in men's badminton.
The victory Saturday gives Malaysia's Lee Chong Wei his third straight Olympic silver medal and signals Chen's place as the game's new power.
Lee, while old by badminton standards at 33, was world No. 1 and the favorite coming in.
But he faced massive pressure not to lose another gold medal, and was coming off a match a day earlier against China's Lin Dan, the man who beat him in the last two Olympic finals, that felt more like a gold-medal contest than a semifinal.
Both Lee and Lin are considered by many to be the best players of their era, and maybe of all time.
Chen is now making his place at the top.
Chen led early in first game of the best-of-three match then trailed before capitalizing on repeated Lee errors at the net to pull ahead and take the first game 21-18. Chen then fought back from an early Lee lead in the second game to power by the Malaysian 21-18.
Viktor Axelsen of Denmark earlier beat Lin Dan for bronze.
4:20 p.m.
Before you start kicking someone, it's nice to give them a present.
That's what the Uzbekistan taekwondo team thinks, in any case. Just as his match was about to get under way on Saturday morning at the Rio Games, top-seeded Dimitry Shokin gave his Chinese competitor Sen Qiao a small Uzbekistani figurine. Qiao bowed in thanks and quickly handed the gift to his coach.
"Uzbekistani people are very friendly," Shokin said, adding that he and his teammates give similar figurines to all their competitors, even though they've never gotten anything in return. "We want people to feel welcome and know that we appreciate them."
Were it not for the souvenir, that may have been harder to discern.
In a dominating first-round fight, Shokin landed several solid kicks on Qiao, including a powerful back kick. Shokin won by a score of 15 to 8 and will next fight in the quarterfinals in the afternoon.
2:55 p.m.
Danuta Kozak has become the most successful kayaker at the Rio Olympics by winning gold in three of the four women's events.
Kozak completed her rout as Hungary won the women's 1,000 meters kayak four Saturday ahead of Germany and Belarus.
The Hungarian paddler also won the 500 meters single and 500 meters double with Gabriella Szabo, who was also part of the four crew.
Kozak didn't compete in the women's 200 meter sprint, which was won by New Zealand's Lisa Carrington.
2:40 p.m.
Canoeist Isaquias Queiroz has become the first Brazilian Olympian to win three medals at the same games.
Queiroz and Erlon de Souza had to settle for silver in the men's 1,000 meters double after losing a sprint to Sebastian Brendel and Jan Vandrey of Germany.
Ukrainian paddlers Dmytro Ianchuk and Tarasa Mischchuk got the bronze.
Backed by a roaring home crowd, the Brazilians led the race until the final 250 meters where they were overtaken by Brendel and Vandrey.
Queiroz also won a silver and a bronze in the single events.
11:10 a.m.
The fierce hopes of 200 million Brazilians are resting squarely on the shoulders of favorite son Neymar.
The 24-year-old striker leads Brazil against Germany in the Olympic gold medal soccer match Saturday. Brazilians are hungering for redemption after a different German squad crushed Brazil 7-1 at a 2014 World Cup semifinal that Brazil was hosting. That loss has reverberated in the nation's psyche.
As Brazil routed Honduras in the semifinals, the hometown crowd chanted that Germany's "turn is coming up." A victory would give Brazil the only trophy it hasn't won in soccer.
Honduras plays Nigeria for the bronze.
In the women's division, Germany beat Sweden 2-1 Friday to capture Olympic gold.
