5:08pm Sat 23rd Aug 08:: written by Kelly Rawlings


Another day and another haul of medals for GB's olympians in Beijing.

Day 15 has seen the Brits secure another gold medal and two bronze to take the total to 19 gold medals, 13 silvers and 15 bronze medals - placing us fourth in the medal table behind China, USA and Russia respectively.

Here were some of the highlights:

Boxing
James DeGale took gold in the middleweight division beating Cuba's Emilio Correa Bayeaux - taking GB's boxing medal haul to one gold and two bronzes in Beijing.

Taekwondo
It was a contentious eventĀ in Great Britain's Sarah Stevenson's bid for a medal. GB had to appeal against a decision that was eventually called in her favour seeing her beat the Chinese competitor to qualify for theĀ semi final. She ended up with the bronze medal - Britain's first ever Taekwondo Olympic medal.

Canoeing
Tim Brabants won his second medal of the games with a bronze in the K1 kayak flatwater canoe.
He won gold in the 1000m gold on Friday.

Diving
Everybody has been talking about young Tom Daley and the 14-year-old finished his diving campaign in 7th place in the 10m platform.

Athletics
It was the turn of the 4x400m relay teams. The men finished in fourth and the women in fifth.

Hockey:
Great Britain finished their Olympic campaign in fifth place after a 5-2 win over Korea.
