Golden couple Laura Trott and Jason Kenny - who will marry in September - won historic cycling golds as Britain made Rio 2016 their most successful overseas Olympics with 50 medals.
Trott became Britain's most successful female Olympian with her fourth gold, in the omnium.
Kenny equalled Sir Chris Hoy's record of six GB golds by winning the keirin.
Sailor Giles Scott also won gold, and there were silvers for diver Jack Laugher and cyclist Becky James.
There were further bronzes in cycling and boxing, with two more in gymnastics.
The nine medals won by Britain on day 11 is the most achieved on a single day in Rio so far and the team have won two more medals than at the same stage at London 2012, which was GB's most successful Games.
