    Swimming: Women's 800m freestyle final

    Great Britain's Jazz Carlin has two silver Olympic medals after just finishing second in the women's 800m freestyle to go with the 400m freestyle silver she won on Saturday.

    She has been talking to BBC Sport and said: "I couldn't do it without my family. They have been there through the tough times and it is nice that they can be here.

    "Two silver medals, it is an incredible feeling. I'm finally believing in myself and stick to the race plan. I need to go on holiday somewhere. I'm just going to have some time away from the pool."

    Can Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce do it yet again?

    The Jamaican won the 100m in 2008 and 2012 but has had an injury-plagued season and is stuck out in lane nine for her run in the fourth heat tonight (heats start from 02:40 BST).

    Fellow Jamaican Elaine Thompson is the fastest woman in the world this year, with the magnificentally named English Gardner of the US second.

    It's a British one-two in heat four of the heptathlon 200m.

    Katarina Johnson-Thompson crosses first in 23.27 seconds, which is a bit off her personal best.

    Jess Ennis-Hill grits her teeth and clings on to Katarina's coat tails to come in second in 23.49.

    Let's see what that does to the rankings.
