Day 13 tinged in silver with sailing success while divers couldn't make podium

Australian diver Melissa Wu has missed out on a medal in the Rio Olympic women's 10m platform final.

The 24-year-old was left disappointed after she failed to nail her fifth and final dive with a possible bronze medal on the line.

"I just wish I could have finished better, that last dive is usually my best," she said.

"I might of just let the pressure get to me a bit."

Wu did not rule out contesting a fourth Olympics remaining confident that she could continue to perform well past an age when most divers consider retirement.

"I will definitely continue diving," the Beijing Olympic 10m synchro silver medallist said.

"Another Olympics? It will depend on how injuries are going.

"But I have been getting better results and I am finally getting consistent."

China's Ren Qian - just 15 years old - won gold.

But there was success for our sailors with two teams winning silver.

Mat Belcher and Will Ryan claiming silver in the men's 470, while Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen came second in the 49er class.

Kayakers Ken Wallace and Olympic debutant Lachlan Tame claimed bronze in the men's K2 1000m final.

For Australia's Caroline Marton, her long road to Rio was over within minutes after the 32-year-old's taekwondo campaign lasted one match.

She was bundled out of the women's 57kg division by Swedish fifth seed Nikita Glasnovic, but she wasn't officially ruled out of medal contention until around seven hours later.

Marton still had slim chance of fighting in the repechage for bronze, but her hopes were dashed after her conqueror Glasnovic was knocked out by top-seeded Jade Jones from Great Britain.

To stay in the mix Marton needed Glasnovic to reach the gold medal match.
