So here are the magnificent eight who will compete in the men's 110m hurdles final (02:45 BST). Both fastest losers came from the second semi-final, with American Devon Allen and Canada's Johnathan Cancabral the lucky men.

Omar McLeod (Jam) 13.15 seconds

Dimitri Bascou (Fra) 13.23 

Pascal Martinot-Lagarde (Fra) 13.25 

Milan Trajkovic (Cyp) 13.31

Orlando Ortega (Spa) 13.32

Devon Allen (USA) 13.36 

Ronnie Ash (USA) 13.36 

Johnathan Cancabral (Canada) 13.41

Kelly Pierce: Poor form from the crowd there! Booing the medalists is not on at all!!

Jesc Bunyard: He's crying on the podium now. This has clearly affected him. Worked for four years to be booed.

Fiona Lapham: Disgusting to hear a crowd booing an athlete receiving a medal. Should be ashamed. That poor man!

Not quite as nice a moment, though, was the reception for Renaud Lavillenie, who won pole vault silver.

The Frenchman got the football crowd treatment yesterday, getting booed as the crowd tried to act as the 12th man and help their Thaigo Braz Da Silva in his quest for gold. Lavillenie was not best pleased with the antics, and had a bit of a pop., external

As a result there were boos as he received his medal. A very upsetting moment for him as he looked to be fighting back the tears.

What a moment inside the Olympic Stadium. Thiago Braz Da Silva won Brazil's first athletics gold since 2008 when he won the pole vault final yesterday.

He climbs onto the top step of the podium and there's huge cheers as his name is announced. He then salutes as the Brazilian national anthem is played. 

National hero status beckons.

All good for the second attempt of Robbie Grabarz at 2.25m. On he goes. 

GB's Lawrence Clarke, who failed to qualify for the 110m hurdles final: "I had a go for it, I was in the lane next to the world number one and he got out. 

"I was going well in the first bit of the race, I pressed and took the risks, hit two hurdles and it wasn't to be. It's been an amazing journey to get here. 

"It's quite emotional because this is my last Olympics. In one I came fourth, in London, and a semi-final at another. I can't complain."

On your marks...set....boom! Off they go, France's Dimitri Bascou is out of the blocks like a greyhound. The European champion eases to victory in 13.23 seconds.

Joining him in the final is Cyprus's Milan Trajkovic, who follows him over the line in 13.31.

Some news from heat one - GB's Andy Pozzi has been disqualified. More on that later. Although it is all rather irrelevant anyway.

On to semi-final number three...

Robbie Grabarz fails with his first attempt at 2.25m, his foot just clipping the bar.

The post midnight (UK time) Olympics hasn't been as good for the Brits as what went on before.

As a Game of Thrones fan, I am absolutely delighted that there is a chap called Bran Starc in the high jump final.

If someone tells me there is also a wrestler called Hodor then this will officially be the best Olympics ever.

He cleared 2.20m with his second attempt. It's 2.25m next.

One Briton down, one to go. Lawrence Clarke has the chance to salvage some British pride. He's in lane eight for the second semi-final.

Nope, that's two Britons gone. He finishes sixth in a time of 13.67 seconds. Not enough.

Jamaica's Omar McLeod - the world number one - cruises to victory in 13.15 seconds, with second-placed Pascal Martinot-Lagarde of France assured of joining him in the final.

So here's the results from that first semi-final. Top two are through to the final automatically.

Cheer up Andy Pozzi, you could be Haiti's Jeffrey Julmis. Now he did have a bad day at the office. Out in lane nine, he staggered straight into the first fence like a drunk into a garden wall. Julmis admirably gets to his feet and carries on, strolling over the line in 25.56 seconds.

Andy Pozzi is understandably devastated by his performance.

"It was just abysmal," he tells BBC One. "No other words to describe it. 

"I don't quite understand it. All season I have been consistent and ran better than that. It was terrible viewing and I can only apologise."

Crash! Bang! Wallop! More fences are going over in the Olympic Stadium than on an estate in gale force winds.

Andy Pozzi clatters into about four hurdles, eventually finishing fifth. No place in the final for him.

"That was terrible viewing, I can only apologise," a crestfallen Pozzi tells BBC Sport.

The Briton finishes in a well below par 13.67 seconds.

Straightforward stuff for Robert Grabarz as he clears his opening height of 2.20m. He's one of 15 up in the final tonight.

Semi-final time. And GB's Andy Pozzi is lining up on the start line in the first of three. Top two automatically qualify, plus the next two fastest.

Also looking to make it into the 110m hurdle final is Lawrence Clarke. The Briton once spent an hour hugging the Dalai Lama., external A full hour. Bit long, that. I start feel a bit awkward hugging my mum beyond 30 seconds.  

Big moment for Andy Pozzi tonight. The Briton has been hampered by injuries over the past four years but is looking to qualify for the men's 110m hurdle final. He is up in the first semi-final shortly.
