London Olympics 2012 Day 10: Kenny, Greene and Equestrian Team in Medal Hunt, Where to Watch Live
Third-placed Team GB aim to build on tally of 16 golds, 11 silvers and 10 bronzes
Andy Murray and Ben Ainslie won golds as Team GB added another eight medals on day nine of London 2012. Ainslie grabbed his fourth consecutive gold and fifth Games medal, making him the most successful sailor in Olympic history. Meanwhile, Murray became the first Briton to triumph in the Games' men's singles competition since 1908 with victory over world number one Roger Federer in straight sets. The Scot also added a silver later, with Laura Robson in the mixed doubles.
Moments before Murray's win, gymnasts Louis Smith and Matt Whitlock took silver and bronze in the men's pommel horse. On the track, Christine Ohuruogu won silver in the women's 400-metres, while cyclist Ed Clancy won a bronze medal in the men's omnium at the Velodrome. Sailors Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson also took silver in the Star class in Weymouth. Team GB are now third in the medal table - with 16 golds, 11 silvers and 10 bronzes - and will be keen to add to their tally on Monday.
