    I was inspired when Mo Farah was on the deck and how quickly he pulled himself together. There was no complaining about it he was just - bang - back up and got on with it.

    Belgium 2-3 Argentina

    Game on! Gauthier Boccard has scored an absolute worldie to drag Belgium back into this final. Cutting in from the left, beating three defenders, juggling past a couple of Argentine sticks and belting into the back of the net. Life in this yet.

    The 5 live Olympics Social panel have just been discussing Team GB's dominance on the track, and the response from around the world to it. Some athletes and media groups have questioned it, but Steve Parry has just remembered a particularly amusing anecdote related to London 2012.

    He says: "You know what was my favourite? The French were told, external we had rounder wheels." 

    Victoria Pendleton, who won women's keirin gold at London 2012, adds: "They were the same wheels but we removed the stickers from them with nail polish remover."

    Midway through the third quarter and Argentina still in control of this men's final. If they see it through, there will be a right knees-up in Rio tonight. The stadium is almost all blue and white. Belgians heavily outnumbered.

    I wonder if without Usain Bolt someone else will have the chance to take on the limelight?

    Everything is so focused on Bolt, maybe if he isn't there that focus can come on someone in the shadows.

    Steve Bunce
    BBC Sport boxing pundit speaking on Radio 5 live

    Athletics survived before Bolt - it had some dark years, but it ticked over and survived. We don't want to see Bolt dragged out. We'd like to see him beaten now and in London four years ago, but not in 2020. That would be horrible to watch. There will not be another Bolt. We had that argument in boxing for 20-odd years until Mike Tyson came on. It was boring and irrelevant.

    More from Jade Jones's coach Paul Green: "We're ready and prepared and Jade always rises on the occasion. 

    "We are here for the gold medal. I will tell her to stay on plan. We know the girl she is facing inside out. Jade has got to diffuse her game and apply her own strengths and that is exactly what we are going to do."

    Jade Jones' coach Paul Green on BBC TV: "Jade has worked four years for this. We have been planning meticulously, the intensity of training has been meticulous and she is looking good to go and win. 

    "Four years ago Jade wasn't the one to beat, now she is the one to beat so it has been a lot harder going in but we have done our homework on the all players, mimicking them in the last year."

    Jade Jones will have been peeking around the backstage curtain in the Carioca Arena to find out who she will face in the -57kg final.

    Now she knows. Spanish second seed Eva Calvo Gomez - a familiar face to the Briton - will be stood opposite her on the mat.

    Calvo Gomez has booked her place in tonight's final (02:00 BST) with a sudden-death win against Egypt's Hedaya Wahba.

    Jones, the reigning Olympic champion and top seed, lost five of her first six encounters with Calvo Gomez, but has beaten her big rival in their past two meetings.

    Athletics is going to lose captain charisma. Not only is Usain Bolt the most fantastic athlete we have seen but he has style, charisma, swagger and it is hard to replace someone like that and I do feel for the sport after him.

    Forget Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic and his footballing mates, Serbia's water polo side are considered to be the finest sports team in the country's history. 

    And with good reason. They are guaranteed a fourth consecutive Olympic medal.

    The Serbs, who took bronze four years ago, won 10-8 in their semi-final against London 2012 silver medallists Italy.

    Now they will meet neighbours Croatia - the reigning Olympic champions - in Saturday's gold-medal match. Tasty.

    It's half-time in the men's hockey final, with Argentina well-placed to win gold. They trailed early on but have since taken control, thanks in part to two goals from penalty corners. Belgium with it all to do.
