there was an olympic record on the sixth diver, ii2 there was an olympic record on the sixth diver, 112 points, i don't think it has ever been done before in an olympic games. he was surrounded by a lot of talent. to take the bronze medal on that field was incredible. it means everything to the sport. he has really been, even since i have been in the sport when i was coming up in the sport, he has really been a spokesperson and almost like a voice to younger athletes, too old athletes, to all athletes. not even just in diving, he's an inspiration to the country, to nation and, yeah, he continues to inspire everyone. he is a huge spokesperson for the lgbt community as well. the last of the athletics in the olympic stadium has taken place. there was a medal for one of three brits in the men's 1500 metres and a return to form for america's 4x400 relay runners. joe lynskey has the best of the action. josh kerr could barely take it in.

is alison felix who won her 11th games medal, won more than carl lewis. britain finished in athletics with no gold medals of their own. at six now have made the podium. and likejosh kerr, they are young, he isjust 23. likejosh kerr, they are young, he is just 23. they will go to paris in three years time with a platform. joe lynskey, bbc news. jenny meadows is a former gb olympian and has been commentating on the athletics for the bbc. she saysjosh kerr surprised her by getting a medal in the 1500 metres. joshis josh is very confident and sat all year that he wanted to go to the olympic games and produce a medal. i wasn't convinced, watching him in the rounds. he did when our british olympic trials, but he only got through to the semifinals by the skin of his teeth. he only got through to the final by the fastest non—automatic qualifier. he didn't get there automatically. and then he has come and got a bronze medal, a personal best. what a fast time as well. three minutes 29 seconds. i

think you will be absolutely delighted with that. what marker we turn our attentions to sifan hassan, and the 10,000 metres. gold for her. how happy was to be with her games? she didn't win the gold in the event she competed in with laura muir. on the whole she will be happy golds? i think she will. she said she was trying to do the treble, but what if you think it is? is that three gold medals, three medals? she was going for three gold medals, but it is two gold and a bronze. which is incredible. if you think about the training she has to do, the 1500 metres is a lot more repetition based, speed based, high—intensity, all the way to the 10,000 metres. the training doesn't weigh up. she has to do a little of everything. so, i am sure she will be the most tired athlete in the olympic village this evening. but she did the double, as far as titles go. but i think the bronze medal in the 1500 metres was absolutely incredible, it is sandwiched in between the 5000 and the 10,000 as well.—

the podium, with a relay baton. lots to look forward _ the podium, with a relay baton. lots to look forward to for britain, keely hodgkinson, and a performance from laura muir. how would you assess britain's performance on the track? would we have expect in more golds? is the performance happy? think the number of medals, we have six medals, the target from uk sport was 6—7. i actually thought, i don't know where we are going to get those medals from. but we have managed to hit six, which is absurdly fantastic. it took a long time. keely hodgkinson happened on day five, and that was our first medal. then holly bradshaw was obviously day seven. after that, the last two days, it has really picked up. six is great. but it is disappointing that we don't have an olympic champion. i do think that we need to look at the likes of keely hodgkinson, we need to look atjosh kerr, both very, very young. they will be the future of our sports. jenny meadows. what a debut olympics it has been for the british cyclist matt walls. he won gold in the men's

omnium this week. and now has silver to add, after coming second today, alongside ethan hayter in the men's madison. points are awarded for 20 intermediate sprints. and the british pair held the gold medal spot, after ten of those. they were strong and consistent at the start, but fade a little — and it became an open race. the managed to claim the silver, turning up the heat in the final sprint. gold went to the powerful danish team — the reigning world champions. brazil retained their olympic men's football title by beating spain 2—1. hertha berlin forward matheus cunha opened the scoring for brazil just before half time at the international stadium in yokohama. real sociedad forward mikel oyarzabal levelled in style for spain on the hour. what a goal this was. but this extra time strike from zenit saint petersburg forward malcom was enough to win the gold. nelly korda now has an olympic gold medal to add to her world number one golf ranking. the 23—year—old held her nerve after a tropical storm delayed her final hole by almost an hour. level par on the eighteenth saw her hold offjapan's inami mone and new zealand's lydia ko

who needed to play another hole to decide silver and bronze respectively. india's adit ashok, the world number 200 who was second after three rounds, finished fourth afterjust missing out on that play off. here's a quick look at few more medals. the usa's all time record scorer kevin durant was the standout player as they beat france 87—82 to secure their fourth straight basketball olympic gold. the brooklyn nets star scored 29 points as he claimed his third gold medal. norway beat world champions russia in the men's beach volleyball. the norwegians were the top seeded team and the youngest gold medal winners in the event. the baseball—mad nation ofjapan finally have a gold to celebrate after beating usa 2—0 in the final in yokohama. the women had already won the softball tournament. and jessica springsteen, the daughter of rock star bruce, has added silver to the family's platinum accolades. she helped the us equestrianjumping team finish runners up to sweden after a jump—off.
