    Silver for Maddi Wesche after throwing a Personal
    best of 19.86.

    Ogunleye threw just 14 cms further to win the Gold.

    Such a loser.

    @Billy-Tell A break-through performance for her and she will probably be challenging for medals including the Gold one at World Championships and the Oympic Games over the next four years

    One sport I never ever watch at the Olympics. Only nz being there would get me to watch.

    28 finals and 25 years in a row now for Spanish teams in not losing football finals to anyone but other Spanish teams.

    Maybe a winning streak in sport only beaten by the New York Yacht Club.

    @Billy-Tell With the naked eye it looked like her final throw was over 20 metres.

    Obviously the officials saw a mark I couldn't see.

    Great battle in the Heptathlon too.

    Nafi Thiam of Belgium won her third Gold medal in a row.

    Katarina Johnson-Thompson of Great Britain , twice the world champion in the event, fell just 36
    points behind her rival.

    I think both Thiam and KJT ran personal best in the 800 metres. Talk about leaving it all out there after seven events over two days.

    @MiketheSnow

    Nafi Thiams's PB in the 800m before tonight was 2.11.79.

    Tonight she ran 2.10.62 on a soaked track.

    Amazing. Self belief and a medal will do her confidence a world of good

    13 Golds for the Dutch now. Wow!

    That beats their previous best of 12 Golds in Sydney 2000.
