in the men's highjump as gianmarco tamberi shared gold with qatar's mutaz essa barshim. they couldn't be split having recorded best clearances of 2.37 metres. they were offered a jump—off, but in a moment of sportsmanship agreed to share the title. it's the firstjoint olympic podium in athletics since 1912. venezuela's two—time world champion yulimar rojas set a new world record as she won olympic gold in the women's triple jump. it measured 15.67 metres, smashing the previous best of 15.50m set by ukraine's inessa kravets in 1995. it's the south american country's first gold of this games and just the fourth in its history. swimmer duncan scott has become the first british athlete to win four medals at a single games. he now has a gold and three silvers, after the men's 4x100 metres medley relay team finished second behind the united states. the americans broke the world record to win it.

so this is how the medal table looks at the end of day nine. gb has ten gold, and there are a few guaranteed medals to come. then whitaker will win at least a silver. gb's gb�*s sailing team has guaranteed two more medals. britain's lewis hamilton is back at the top of the formula one driver standings heading into the sport's summer break. he had to fight hard to get any points after a chaotic hungarian grand prix which saw esteban ocon claim a totally out—of—the—blue first f1 victory.... asjoe wilson reports. out—of—the—blue first f1 victory, asjoe wilson reports. formula 1 simmered in the hungarian rain. what could possibly happen next. hold on. behind lewis hamilton,

of the season. we had some difficult moments, but we overcame together with the team. what can i say? is fantastic. at the start, but... i gave it everything _ at the start, but... i gave it everything and i have nothing left at the _ everything and i have nothing left at the end. it's the first weekend of the scottish premiership season, and aberdeen started off with a 2—0 win at home to dundee united — having failed to even score in four games against them last season. in the day's other game, hibs came from behind twice, to win 3—2 at motherwell. martin boyle got the winner from the penalty spot. now to the hundred. trent rockets have lost their 100% record in the competition against birmingham phoenix thanks in part to 19—year—old will smeed, who hit a blistering 13—ball 36

as you can see by this weather watcher picture. there were also some nuisance showers yet again, drifting their way steadily south by a cold front. it may well enhance some thundery showers over the next few hours. the best of the breaks in the cloud, well, that was further west and we keep those clear skies as we go into tonight. the cold front will ease away, this ridge of high pressure will build. that's going to quieten things down for monday and tuesday, but with that ridge of high pressure and the clearing skies, it does mean a chillier start into the far north with single figures first thing in the morning. there'll be some early morning sunshine — very nice, indeed, for those up early enough — but unfortunately, we are expecting the cloud to thicken up quite quickly, and into the afternoon, it could be another largely grey day with a few sharp showers, maybe, into south wales and southwest england becoming more predominant as well. temperatures disappointing, really, for early august. 20 is the maximum, but along those exposed northeast coasts, maybe sitting in the mid—teens as well. a fine, dry day on tuesday, maybe a degree or so warmer,

but as i say, largely dry with some more in the way of sunshine coming through. and then, we start to see a change developing through the middle part of the week — a slow one on wednesday with this weather front and low pressure bringing most of its heavy rain into northern france. but there is a possibility that the position of that low may just be that little bit further north, and that could mean more outbreaks of rain to southern england, so we need to keep an eye on that. further showers out to the west as well. little more sunshine generally, though, on wednesday potentially, and with a lighter southerly wind, temperatures a degree or so up — 21 degrees, 70 fahrenheit. the jet stream will then start to intensify, and as we all know by now, it's the jet stream that drives in areas of low pressure. we see quite a defined dip taking place from wednesday night into thursday. that's going to drive an area of low pressure right across us, and that means as we head towards the end of the week, it's going to turn even more unsettled. sharper showers, some

of them heavy and thundery, and the winds picking up as well, so no settled summer sunshine over the next few days.

this is bbc news. the headlines at 8pm: more gold for team gb in tokyo — magnificent max whitlock retains his olympic pommel horse title. i can't even describe the feeling. i feel completely overwhelmed and it feels very, very surreal. you cannot put into words how i feel about him and ijust want to give him a hug and just tell him that we are just so proud of him. and charlotte worthington claims another gold medal for britain in a dramatic bmx park freestyle final. it's kind of unreal. i am waiting to wake up, mate. i have been dreaming about this for four years, i am waiting to wake up. it still feels like i am dreaming
