What went down on day 14 in Rio

STAR OF THE DAY: Chloe Esposito. The 24-year-old won gold in the modern pentathlon, the first Australian to do so.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "We came in probably favourites to come out with three or four medals and we come up with nothin'." BMX cyclist Sam Willoughby.

TALKING POINT: Why did the Boomers perform so poorly? The men's basketballers were off-key from the start of their semi-final loss to Serbia and blew the chance of a gold medal match against the US. They'll now meet Spain on Sunday (Monday AM AEST) for the bronze medal.

WHAT'S UP NEXT: At the athletics track, Ryan Gregson (1500m) and Brett Robinson (5000m) will contest finals, as will Australia's women's 4x400m relay team. Australia's men's K4 1000 sprint kayak crew and Stephen Bird in the K1 200m will also contest medal races, while golfers Su Oh and Minjee Lee will start the final round seven shots shy of the leader.
