Xu Lijia has won gold in the Laser Radial class
Olympic debutant Annalise Murphy narrowly missed out on Ireland's first medal of London 2012.
The 22-year-old enjoyed an impressive week and came into the race as one of four sailors challenging for a podium spot in the Laser Radial class.
However, Murphy could only finish fifth in the medal race to leave her fourth overall as China's Xu Lijia took gold.
Niccolo Campriani of Italy won gold in the men's 50m rifle three positions.
New Zealand booked their place in the semi-finals of the women's hockey but a goalless draw ended 2004 champions Germany's chances of a medal.
