Nicola Adams is through to the semi-finals of the women's flyweight boxing. She beats Ukrainian Tetyana Kob with a unanimous points victory, she will face either Bujold of Canada or Chinese Ren in the next round

London 2012, check. Rio 2016, check. USA's Christian Taylor wins the men's triple jump final to claim gold in a dramatic event. He scored a mammoth and insurmountable 17.86 metres on his first attempt which no one could beat. Compatriot Will Claye takes silver with an impressive 17.76m while China's Bin Dong has the bronze medal

Two-time Olympic champion @Taylored2jump. Got a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

Widely regarded as the nailed on favourite in the men's triple jump final, Christian Taylor of team USA show's us he means business. Dong Bin had taken the lead with an impressive 17.58m the jump before, but Taylor isn't having it, and smashes the previous effort with a whopping 17.86m

Kenya's Hellen Obiri wins the heat in a time of 15:19.38. She is followed by Yasemin Can of Turkey and teammate Mercy Herono. Also definitely into the final are Shelby Houlihan (USA) and Susan Kuijken (NED). China's Miyuki Uehara, who went off like a shot, leading by around 80m for most of the race before falling back into the pack, will have to wait to find out her fate with five fastest losers qualifying
