    4 x 100m women's relay. A heap of athleticism in this race.

                  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!
