Friday at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro was jam-packed with medal-round action, and the proceedings did not disappoint.
Swimming took center stage with Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky in the pool, but a couple of upsets in the women's 200-meter backstroke final and men's 50-meter freestyle final added to a slate full of compelling drama.
Elsewhere, Rafael Nadal and Marc Lopez were in action in the men's doubles tennis final, while track and field got started with a shocker in women's shot put.
Before breaking down the day's results, here's a look at the updated medal tracker entering Saturday:
