Day 16 at Rio: Olympics full of world records and many firsts come to end

Yogeshwar Dutt, the 2012 bronze medallist in the 60kg category, lost his opening round bout 0-3 against Ganzorigiin Mandakhnaran of Mongolia. Dutt was on the backfoot from the word go and couldn't hold the two-time world championships bronze medallist as he lost on technical points.

Dutt came into the Olympics as one of India's medal hopes and exited without even a fight.

He had no chance in the repechage round either, as Ganzorigiin lost 0-6 to Russia's Soslan Ramonov in the quarterfinals.

There was some good news from the Indian contingent in the final athletics competition of the Rio Games, the marathon. It's an event where the medal ceremony is held at the closing ceremony.

Three Indians - Thonakal Gopi, Ram Kheta, Nitendra Nagar - took part, with two posting their personal best timings. Gopi registered a personal best timing of 2 hours 15 minutes 25 seconds. Ram was just a second behind at 2 hours 15 minutes 26 seconds. The two finished in 25th and 26th positions respectively, out of a field of 140 runners. Rawat finished a lowly 84th, as he clocked in at 2 hours 22 minutes 52 seconds, over seven minutes off his personal best.

It was a pared down version of the opening ceremony, but when Tokyo took over for 12 minutes and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe came dressed as Mario, the crowd at the Maracana Stadium jumped and cheered.

The United States men's basketball team asserted its dominance in the sport as it romped home to victory to claim its third successive gold medal at the Olympics.

Clarissa Shields, at only 21 years of age, defended her gold medal in the women's middlewight class (69-75kg). She won by unanimous decsiion over Nouchka Fontijn. Shields has now become the first American boxer in history to win consecutive Olympic gold medals.

After Ganzorigiin Mandakhnaran of Mongolia lost in the bronze medal match, the wrestler's coaches stripped off their clothes in protest. Mandakhnaran appeared to have a victory over Uzbekistan's Ikhtiyor Navruzov locked up. With five seconds left, the Mongolian started celebrating early and was penalised a point. That one point penalty cost him the match, and with that, the bronze medal. One of the coaches stripped to his underwear, while the other went down on his knees and staged a sitting protest. The officials eventually had to pull them off the mat.

Kyle Snyder of the USA became the youngest American wrestler to win gold in freestyle wrestling. He's also the 50th American to bring home a wrestling Olympic gold for the USA. He defeated Khetag Gozyumov of Azerbaijan, 2-1, in the final for the 97kg class.

The final track and field event of the Games saw American Galen Rupp winning a bronze in the men's marathon. This was his first Olympics as a long-distance runner, and he has already won a bronze, in what was just his second career marathon.

Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya took home the gold medal by accelerating towards the end, with a timing of 2 hours 8 minutes 44 seconds. Feyisa Lilesa of Ethiopia finished second at 2 hours 9 minutes 54 seconds. Rupp's timing was 2 hours 10 minutes 5 seconds.
