Well done.

Great achievement from both Kiwi women. Val Adams wins bronze and Wesche finishes 6th at her first Olympics!

Awesome!

An Olympic bronze for Adams in her 5th Olympics after having two kids since Rio 16. What a legend.

Bloody good to watch that. I love Wesches' attitude. A fantastic end to Adams' career to medal.

The Chinese women had the best 5 throws of the comp and was the favourite going in, so a worthy winner.

Wesche is only 22 years old. Hopefully has still quite a few Olympics in her. So much promise. Will be keeping an eye on her from now.

So chilled I thought she might do the last throw in her jandals

An emotional interview with Valerie Adams. She said that this bronze medal means more to her than both gold medals because of the sacrifices she has made over the last 9 months. I am sure it will appear on YT.

Aussie chicks nudge out USA for Medley relay. Lot of gold right there from the female swimmers

Australia go to the men's hockey semis after defeating Netherlands on penalties. Three saves from the Aussie keeper.

If it gets more kids off the phone and into the skatepark then all good. I don't have to watch it.
