    Men's pole vault

    Team GB pole vaulter Harry Coppell on his seventh place finish at the Olympics: "It has just been amazing, I am still in a little bit of disbelief that I was in an Olympic final. But I went out and I jumped as well as I could.

    I am a little bit gutted to not get the PB because that would have put me in the fight for a medal but I am just so happy.

    "It has been brilliant, that was one of the best sessions I have had in months, then the training sessions just started getting better and better.

    Physically I was feeling great and my volume was looking really good. Even better than when I was rolling in 2020.

    "The [accident involving my teeth] was a bit of a mishap, but if I had broken nose I wouldn't have been able to breathe. All I had to do was see the dentist a couple of times so I can smile right now."

    Elaine Thompson-Herah on winning another gold medal in the 200m: "Honestly I just need to sleep, I have not slept since the 100 metres, honestly my body is in shock mode, but I still had my composure to come out here.

    "I knew my time wouldn't be fast because yesterday we ran two rounds, which took a lot from me, I equalled my PB last night. So to come out to get a national record and two-time Olympian I am so happy.

    "I was begging for the line, but you have to hold your technique through the line. I know my grandma is celebrating right now.

    "It feels good to be in the history book, to set a barrier for the other generation of athletes coming up because we have got a lot of athletes coming from Jamaica, it means a lot to me to set this barrier.

  12. 'Duplantis is one of the most popular athletes on the circuit right now'

    Men's pole vault final

    Michael Johnson

    Four-time Olympic gold medallist athlete on BBC TV

    Mondo Duplantis is one of the most popular athletes on the circuit right now, he is great for athletics. He is young, his pedigree is there, his mum was a hurdler for Sweden his dad was a pole vaulter in the US.

  13. 'Thompson-Herah was so far in front and looked fantastic'

    Women's 200m final

    Daley Thompson

    Two-time Olympic decathlon champion on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Absolutely unbelievable from Elaine-Thompson-Herah. The woman is a legend. She was so far in front and looked fantastic. She was controlled, relaxed and ran that very quickly.

  14. Gold Medal - Armand Duplantis

    Men's pole vault

    He's done it! Sweden's Armand Duplantis is miles in front of the others and cleares 6.02m to take the men's pole vault gold.

    But he's not leaving it there. He's going for the world record!

    Can he break his own world record? 6.19m is the target.

  16. 'Thompson-Herah ran the race of her life'

    Women's 200m final

    Christine Ohuruogu

    Former 400m Olympic gold medallist on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I didn't think Elaine Thompson-Herah was in the running, but she came through like a steam train! That was brilliant. I want to see her in the 400m so hopefully she is smart and preserves herself for that. She has come in alongside seasoned athletes and run the race of her life.

  17. 'Electric 200m'

    Women's 200m final

    Michael Johnson

    Four-time Olympic gold medallist athlete on BBC TV

    These are some amazing races. That 200m was electric.

    That was incredible, as we predicted Elaine Thompson-Herah was going to be out, but Gabby Thomas found it again. She ran a 21.6 at the Olympic trials, we didn't feel like it was a fluke but we questioned if she could reproduce that.

  18. Post update

    Women's 200m final

    Colin Jackson

    Two-time world 110m hurdles champion on BBC TV

    Elaine Thompson-Herah really took control as she came off the bend there, you knew she was going to work off this. In the semi-final she felt she had a great performance in her.

  19. Gold Medal - Elaine Thompson-Herah

    Women's 200m final

    It's ANOTHER sprint double for Elaine Thompson-Herah!

    For back-to-back Olympic Games she takes the 100m and 200m crown on the world's biggest stage.

    She wins the 200m in 21.53 - the second-fastest 200m ever!

    Christine Mboma takes the silver for Namibia and USA's Gabby Thomas takes the bronze. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce misses out on the medals.

  20. Post update

    Women's 200m final

    Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce gets a good start but here comes 100m champion Elaine Thompson-Herah.
