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.

Women's 10,000m: Jo Pavey's lost out in the women's 10,000m but she's lost out to a new world record.

Congratulations Almaz Ayana, who crosses in 29:17.45.

Mark Critchley12 August 2016 15:55

Women's 10,000m: Here's the woman everyone's talking about, Almaz Ayana...

"Getting to this point is a dream come true. I never thought that this would happen and I'm so in awe. I'm very happy to get here," she said.
"I have worked very hard. I wouldn't say that my recent training has been any different from before but it was hard and it was all worth it."

Mark Critchley12 August 2016 16:56

Men's Cycling: No problem for Skinner either. He leads out from the front and has enough in the tank to see off Australia's Pat Constable. Two riders through for Team GB and two medal prospects on the cards for Britain.

Men's team pursuit: Australia are still leading at the halfway mark. They're ahead by one seventh of a second...

Samuel Lovett12 August 2016 22:51

Men's team pursuit: Australia go down to three as Britain keep together as a four. They're closing the gap and it's almost in touching distance!

Samuel Lovett12 August 2016 22:52

Men's team pursuit: And they're down to three but take the pole position. We're moments away from history!
