        @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.

                            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

                                  Great support by the Dutch fans for their women's hockey team in the final.

                                      13 Golds for the Dutch now. Wow!

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