Go on Kim Collins

50.75secs made the Olympic final in the women's 400m

Great run by Felix

Christine Ohuruogu hinted that she too may have run her final race.

Makes Ireland's 5-0 defeat to the Netherlands look not so bad now In fact, we played well in all matches at these Olympics, probably the match against India was our worst performance and we still ran them close at 3-2. Hopefully we continue getting better in the years to come. I'm not particularly optimistic though as hockey isn't very popular here and despite the breakthrough, it will be quickly forgotten by the general public

That must be such a good feeling

Congratulations . And no need to apologise for being overcome with happiness, that's what we live for as sports fans

Hansen, what a ride!! Unbelievable

He has a great case then both morally and in terms of the rules

I really hope he gets the decision and gets a ceremony for his gold medal if it goes his way

Yeah I saw it too and it was awful to see. Those gymnasts have been training for years for that one moment, that made me so angry

And we're back it seems.... what the heck was wrong with the site?

Jess Ennis-Hill is suggesting that this might be the last event of her career

Belgium having a fantastic Olympics. They had chances but weren't the favourites particularly for any event. I am pleasantly surprised

Naughty by the orgnaisers playing Coldplay "Viva la Vida" in this moment in the stadium as Jess Ennis loses her title (if you don't know what I mean, I am referring to the lyrics )

Thiam is the Olympic champion!!!

That is crazy, absolutely crazy

Gold #23 for Michael Phelps.... extraordinary stuff no matter if you like him or not or if you consider swimming as a sport in which you can gain plenty of medals. 23 gold medals... WOW!

Haha, so you have your reasons too

I am hoping so, even though I really like Jess Ennis-Hill, I just would love to see a new rivalry develop in the next years to come and to really push the event forward again. Thiam can help with that by winning here

What a night of athletics.... now wait for an epic heptathlon duel !!

So close for But what a fantastic final!!!! Elaine Thompson
