    Martyn Rooney, who helped Great Britain to a bronze medal in the 4x400m relay at the 2015 World Championships, has failed to make it into the semi-finals of the men's 400m after only finishing fifth in his heat.

    He should be disappointed. It was not the type of performance he knew he would have to put in. We have seen this from him before.

    Britain's defending champion Greg Rutherford is up again after fouling on his first jump.

    It's long. It's... a foul again.

    Rutherford looks behind him to see a red flag raised and shakes his head in frustration.

    One more no-jump and Rutherford's Olympics are over before they barely started.

    'Very surreal'published at 01:56 British Summer Time 13 August 2016

    Athletics: Men's 400m heats

    Great Britain's Matthew Hudson-Smith has moved into the men's 400m semi-finals in his first Olympics. The 21-year-old spoke to BBC Sport after finishing third in his heat.

    "It was difficult in lane two," he said. "Everyone told me to treat it like a final. I thought I had second, but made a rookie mistake. But I negotiated the round and got through, that's all I could do.

    "It is very surreal and I'm just soaking it up round by round. The semi-final is going to be very tough and you have to take every round like a final. The first part is done and it is on to the next round. It is about who wants it more."

    Her team feel like KJT’s going to fly in the 800m. What I love about our heptathletes is they’re not quitters.

    We might be up here all doom and gloom but we’ve never seen an athlete get seven world-class personal bests in one heptathlon.

    Hosszu lines up another

    Michael Phelps has four golds in the pool in Rio so far - and tonight Katinka Hosszu of Hungary will aim to join him.

    The 'Iron Lady' has already won the 100m backstroke, the 200m individual medley and the 400m individual medley.

    Tonight she goes in the 200m backstroke (02:03 BST).

    No relays in her list of wins. Does that make it even more impressive?

    Hopefully enough for GB's Martyn Rooney.

    According to himself, to paraphrase, not his best race. But, a fifth-placed finish leaves him in a chance for qualification for the semis tomorrow.

    He is in the last place with one heat to go.

    "I felt good," he told BBC Sport. "I wasn't able to compete in 2012 but I'm here to win it. I will take the 400 a round at a time and focus on each race."
