The fourteenth day of the Rio Olympic Games saw Usain Bolt bow out in his final race before Olympic retirement, with the legendary Jamaican sprinter winning gold in the 4x100m relay following his success in the 100m and 200m.

Great Britain's Asha Philip, Desiree Henry, Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita put in an impressive display to take 4x100m bronze - their first in the event for 32 years.

Team GB's women's hockey team took gold in a thriller against the Netherlands. Danny Kerry's side were taken to penalties after a 3-3 draw but emerged with a 2-0 shoot-out win.

Lutalo Muhammad suffered last-second heartbreak in his men's 80kg taekwondo final, going down with the last kick to the Ivory Coast's Cheick Saliah Cisse.

Tom Daley returned to action in the 10m platform diving preliminaries and set a real marker for his rival, while Nick Skelton took Team GB's 23rd gold of these Games in the individual show jumping.

Usain Bolt's just received his 200m gold on the rostrum.

Doesn't he look delighted?

Women's high jump: Great Britain's Holly Bradshaw clears 4.50m on her first attempt. A perfect start.

Mark Critchley20 August 2016 00:45

It was a dramatic night in the 4x100m and 4x400m relays, with both Team GB and Tea, USA seeing disqualifications destroy their medal hopes. First up saw Britian's 4x400m relay team win their semi-final, only to discover they had been disqualified without reason:

Jack de Menezes20 August 2016 10:41

Next up, the men's 4x100m relay final saw Team USA come home in third and secure bronze behind Usain Bolt's Jamaica and Japan, only to look up at the big screen while on their celebratory lap of honour to see a DQ next to their name. It proved to be the ninth time the American's had been disqualified from an Olympics or World Championships in just 21 years:

Jack de Menezes20 August 2016 10:42

Men's canoe sprint: Liam Heath is getting his final preparations underway for the 200m K1 final, and after winning both his heat and semi-final yesterday, he'll harbour genuine hopes of winning a medal here - with eyes certainly set on the top step of the podium.

Jack de Menezes20 August 2016 13:04

Men's canoe sprint: They get away first time in the eight man field, and it's a rapid race this that lasts just a matter of seconds. Heath's in the running at the front at the halfway mark, and he pushes into the lead... LIAM HEATH WINS GOLD!

Jack de Menezes20 August 2016 13:08

Men's canoe sprint: Heath didn't make the fastest of starts, but as soon as the race kicks on he began to eat into the lead held by France's Maxime Beaumont. They reach the halfway mark level, and Heath begins to pull clear to win in a time of 35.19 seconds. Bronze is shared between Spain's Saul Craviotto Rivero and Germany's Ronald Rauhe.

Jack de Menezes20 August 2016 13:13

Men's canoe sprint: That men's Team GB have secured gold No 25 of the Rio Olympic Games, just four behind their London 2012 total and, in securing their 61st medal overall, Britain is also just four medals behind the record total haul set four years ago. History is on the cards here.

Jack de Menezes20 August 2016 13:14

Women's triathlon: Stanford has worked her way up to second on the bike, but don't read too much into that, as it's a lead group of 18 riders that flash through the finish line as they complete the first lap. All to play for.

Jack de Menezes20 August 2016 15:40

Women's flyweight: IT'S GOLD FOR ADAMS!
