r io 2016 is officially great britain's best overseas olympics after they surpassed the beijing tally of 47 medals with five days of action still to go.  boxer josh buatsi's bronze took britain to 48 medals as they surpassed the previous best tally in beijing eight years ago, and they had 50 in the bag by the end of play on tuesday.  moments after buatsi's medal was confirmed, cyclist jason kenny triumphed in the men's keirin to take team gb's tally of gold medals to 19 in rio - the same amount won in beijing.  it was a golden day for kenny and his fiancee laura trott, with the engaged couple's gold medal tally into double figures - with the pair now able to boast 10 between them.  great britain's olympic gold rush - who's won what in rio so far?  trott became the first british woman to claim four olympic gold medals with her win in the omnium, while kenny equalled the british record haul of sir chris hoy after winning his sixth olympic gold by scooping the top title in the keirin.  there is still a lot of work to do to equal the london 2012 tally of 65 medals, 29 of which were gold, but plenty of chances remain.  trott cried on the sidelines as kenny pedalled his victory lap with his arms in the air, before the couple embraced and kissed as the crowd cheered.  speaking to the bbc following his win, kenny said:  today just felt like a dream really, i think i'm just kind of so tired i'm just floating through it. so yeah, i really enjoyed today.  in pictures: team gb's medal run at rio 2016 olympics 1 /67 in pictures: team gb's medal run at rio 2016 olympics
