Derek Drouin won gold in Olympic high jump.

The reigning world champion had the gold medal locked up after the next highest-jumping competitors missed their jumps, but he took a single run at 2.40 metres in an attempt to break the Olympic record of 2.39. It was his only miss of the night.

Kelsie Ahbe, another Canadian jumper, set a personal best.

The pole vaulter qualified for the women's final with her performance on Tuesday night.

The Olympic spirit was on display in the 5,000m.

Kiwi running Nikki Hamblin had a potentially race-ending crash with American Abbey D'Agostino in a women's 5,000-metre qualifying race on Tuesday but stopped to help the injured racer cross the line. Both runners will be allowed to run in the final on Friday if healthy.

There were some tough losses on Tuesday.

Britain's Robert Grabarz, who celebrated one (missed) clearance in the high jump final a little too early, finished fourth behind Drouin.

Canada's women's soccer team lost an Olympic rematch with Germany that sends them into the bronze medal match against Brazil.

France eliminated Canada 68-63 in the women's basketball quarter-finals. It's the second consecutive Olympic quarter-final exit for the Canadians. This is point guard Kia Nurse colliding with her French counterpart during the game.

Brazilian goalkeeper Bárbara Arenhart and teammate Mayssa Raquel Pessoa hugged out a 23-32 loss to Netherlands in a quarter-final handball match.

César Castro of Brazil made the three-metre springboard final, where he finished in ninth. Canadian diver Philippe Gagné finished in 11th.

Canadian synchronized swimming duo finish 7th.

Karine Thomas and Jacqueline Simoneau were the first competitors to swim in the final after the results of a random draw for start positions and they held the lead through the first half of the competition. The field was stacked towards the end, however, and the pair finished in 7th.

Brazil beat the three-time Olympic champions on the beach.

There was a big upset on the beach Tuesday night after Americans Kerri Walsh Jennings (pictured) and April Ross lost in straight sets to Brazilians Agatha Bednarczuk and Barbara Seixas.
