    No Jamaica, no Japan and no US - in the top 3.

    Amazing Italy. Love it.

    If I was a betting man, I would have put my money on Kipyegon.

    Yep. Kipyegon has always had that burst. Amazing 1500m runner. In Rio with 200 to go she was neck a neck with another runner and she found another gear and won it easy.

    I'm happy that Allyson Felix got herself a bronze in the 400 m final but Shaunae Miller-Uibo was in a class of her own. It helps to be so tall.

    She’s really impressive to watch.

    Especially when she stays upright and is not diving…. 😉

    Penalty shootout to decide the women’s football gold medal.

    First ever time in a women’s gold medal match.

    I almost feel sick for these girls!

    Another save for the Swedish keeper. Fairly easy to pick that one off.

    They could run out of kickers. Has that happened before?
