    Proposals are becoming a thing this Olympics.

    Great Britain's Tom Bosworth, who finished sixth in the 20k walk, has just posted this on Twitter.

    After the Bolt and Van Niekerk shows on Monday night, this might feel to some like a flatter night in the Estadio Olimpico. There is certainly not yet anywhere near the same buzz around the tall blue grandstands, but it is early, and we still have two of the all-time greats in action: David Rudisha, Olympic champion and world record holder in the 800m, and Allyson Felix in the 400m, winner of three golds in London, owner of nine World Championship golds. It's like the second evening of a stag-do - something of a hangover from the excesses of the night before, still a whole lot of fun to be had.

    The medal haul could be increased further on Wendesday when Great Britain's women play in the semi-final against New Zealand.

    Let's not forget this side came fifth of six in the recent Champions Trophy so to be into the last four shows they've found the groove needed. 

    Everyone will fear the Dutch a little, they play Argentina shortly and will be distraught if they don't make the semis. It's just started hammering down with rain for that one.

    Great Britain got it done tonight. Yes they tailed off a little but as they leave the field, the fist pumps shows they're happy.

    GB were 3-0 up at half-time. Georgina Oliva got one back for Spain (watch it below), but the British weathered the storm to reach the last four once more.

    All over! Great Britain are into the women's hockey semi-finals. They will have two chances at winning a medal, but with eyes on the very top prize. They meet New Zealand in the last four.

    Mis-controlled by the Spanish, allowing GB to clear. Yet more Spanish pressure. It's absolute chaos out there.

    Cleared, but Spain keep coming. Another penalty corner. GB not happy with the ref. There's plenty of time for Spain in this match - nearly four minutes.

    Canoe slalom of a run there from Georgina Olivia and Spain have hope with seven minutes to go.

    You get the sense Great Britain have conserved a bit of energy, good job though as Giselle Ansley is green carded so they go down to 10 for a while.

    GB's back six are now deep, it is very much a hold what we've got approach.

    Further good news for the Spanish. GB's Giselle Ansley is shown a green card and must take two minutes in the bin. GB temporarily down to 10.

    This game has been killed, Great Britain in total control since that first-half burst. However, a cautionary tale comes from New Zealand's men. They were 2-1 up against Germany last night with 48 seconds to go and lost.
