    Stefan Taylor: Nearly missed coach transfer to the airport because of Da Silva's amazing effort. Best moment of the games so far!!

    Ian Bradley: Occasionally in sport situations arise that allow individuals to transcend what's possible, congrats Thiago Braz da Silva

    Jonathan Chase: This pole vault shows the benefit of moving Olympics around. The lifting power of a home crowd shouldn't be underestimated.

    Renaud Lavillenie can't make it at 6.08 and IT IS GOLD FOR BRAZIL!

    He played that jump-off tactically brilliantly. Worked the crowd, played it like a fiddle. And found new depths of talent and resilience.

    A superb moment of these Games!

    Da Silva's previous PB was 5.92. He's not just destroyed that, he's broken the Olympic record. And set Rio alight in the process.

    Great moment. Great moment. Brazil don't have many track and field medal hopes. That is massive.

    Renaud Lavillenie passes at his next jump. He has to.

    To win gold he has to go higher.
