    Team GB's other heptathlon medal contender Katarina Johnson-Thompson had led going into the evening session, only for a disastrous shot put of 11.68m to drop her back.  

    KJT as she is affectionately known (and it takes a while to say her full name), broke the British record in the high jump 1.98m in a brilliant competition with Belgium's Nafi Thiam. 

    The Brit now sits in fourth but is expected to do well in the long jump later on Saturday. (15:45 BST)

    'I love hair, I love make-up and I love throwing the shot put'published at 10:31 British Summer Time 13 August 2016

    Shot put

    How awesome is Michelle Carter?

    The 30-year-old won a stunning Olympic shot put gold on Friday and did it with some added sass.

    Carter etched her name in the history books with a last-gasp throw to become the first American to win in the event since 1960. 

    Now she wants to change the perception of her sport and the strong women who compete in it. 

    "I'm in a sport where people don't look at us like women, they don't look at us like being girls, or feminine," said Carter, who is a qualified make-up artist and has a fashion line called Shot Diva. 

    "But I've been girly all my life and so I couldn't separate... between the sport and being a woman. I love hair, I love make-up, I love fashion and I love throwing the shot put."

    Hands up if one of your favourite moments of the Games was Bryony Page winning silver on the trampoline?

    The 25-year-old broke down in tears as she became the first British woman to win an Olympic medal in the event on Friday.

    Her younger brother Marcus also got a bit teary talking about her achievements on BBC Breakfast.

    "It was phenomenal. She did everything right and it went so well for her," he said.

    "Every time I see it (her interview) I'm close to tears, it's just incredible.

    "It's just been about training, training, making sure she eats the rights things and a bit more training for her. I can't believe she did it along with her degree. It shows how hard she dedicates herself to everything.

    "She's a high achiever in absolutely everything, annoyingly so. She has a first-class biology degree and is a grade eight in the flute."

    The hosts are still on course to secure two gold medals in the Olympic football tournaments.

    Goalkeeper Barbara saved the decisive penalty as Brazil beat Australia 7-6 in a shootout to move into the semi-finals.

    Brazil legend Marta was the only one to miss a spot-kick for the hosts, but her side were still able to progress to face Sweden.

    Canada will face Germany in the other last-four tie.

    'We played a bunch of cowards'published at 10:00 British Summer Time 13 August 2016

    USA's goalkeeper Hope Solo had some strong words after her team were eliminated from the women's football.

    Solo said they were knocked out by a "bunch of cowards" after losing to Sweden on penalties in the quarter-final.  

    It is the first time the defending champions have failed to reach the semi-finals of a major tournament. 

    "The best team did not win today," said Solo.

    "I'm very proud of this team but I also think we played a bunch of cowards. They didn't want to open the game.

    "They tried to counter with long balls. I don't think they're going to make it far in the tournament. I think it was very cowardly. They're moving on and we're going home."

    Awkwardly, Sweden's coach Pia Sundhage coached the US team to gold medals at the Beijing and London Olympics.

    "It's OK to be a coward if you win," she said. Touche.
