The fourteenth day of the Rio Olympic Games saw Usain Bolt bow out in his final race before Olympic retirement, with the legendary Jamaican sprinter winning gold in the 4x100m relay following his success in the 100m and 200m.

Great Britain's Asha Philip, Desiree Henry, Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita put in an impressive display to take 4x100m bronze - their first in the event for 32 years.

Team GB's women's hockey team took gold in a thriller against the Netherlands. Danny Kerry's side were taken to penalties after a 3-3 draw but emerged with a 2-0 shoot-out win.

Lutalo Muhammad suffered last-second heartbreak in his men's 80kg taekwondo final, going down with the last kick to the Ivory Coast's Cheick Saliah Cisse.

Tom Daley returned to action in the 10m platform diving preliminaries and set a real marker for his rival, while Nick Skelton took Team GB's 23rd gold of these Games in the individual show jumping.

Men's Tennis: It's tears for both men as the gravity of the moment sinks in.  For Del Potro, the Argentinian gave it his all but on this occasion it wasn't enough to overcome the mentally and physically resilient Andy Murray. The Scotsman has defended his 2012 title and adds a fifth gold to Team GB's medal tally on day nine.

Laura Muir has just put in a fantastic 4.04.16 minute run in the 1,500m to book herself a spot in the final. Brilliant effort from the Briton.

Men's Gymnastics: China's You Hao scores a total of 15.400, having been awarded  7 for difficulty and 8.4 for execution. Greece's Eleftherios Petrounias, and the world champion, up next.

Samuel Lovett15 August 2016 18:08

Men's Gymnastics: Petrounias sets the benchmark! He's awarded a score of 16.000 dead. Absolutely outstanding! He'll be the man to beat.

Women's Gymnastics: America's second competitor, Lauren Hernandez, takes to the beam. It's pretty flawless - there was a slight wobble following a front somersault mid-routine - and she stands to score well. Credit to Bile who was stood on the sideline throughout cheering her fellow American on.

Samuel Lovett15 August 2016 20:11

Women's Gymnastics: It seems the French have put an appeal in - hence the hold up.

Samuel Lovett15 August 2016 20:24

Men's Omnium: Mark Cavendish is in action in the velodrome as he looks for gold. He's well into his flying sprint now as part of the Omnium's penultimate event. He clocks in at 12.96 secs which puts him into second place overall and currently trails 16 points behind Italy's Elia Viviani.
