    Should Team GB's boxers turn pro?published at 12:16 British Summer Time 21 August 2016

    Six of Britain's seven boxers at London 2012 have since turned pro with varying degrees of success. 

    Joe Joyce, who could secure super-heavyweight gold later, is a certainty to cross over into the paid ranks, but how many of his teammates will follow him? 

    We put that question to our panel of experts here.

    Men's super-heavyweight final - Joe Joyce v Tony Yoka (19:15 BST)

    We may be into the last day of these Olympics, but we've still got plenty to look forward to, not least Joe Joyce,  the man looking to follow in Anthony Joshua's footsteps by taking the big boy's boxing crown.

    Joyce impressed in his semi-final, leaving tough Kazakhstan boxer Ivan Dychko reeling, cut and bruised. France's Tony Yoka beat the Brit in the world championship semi-finals last year, and is sure to provide a comprehensive challenge if Big Joe is to take home the gold.

    Elsewhere USA's Claressa Shields fights Netherland's Nouchka Fontijn for the women's middleweight title at 18:00 BST, Shakhobidin Zoirov of Uzbekistan bids for the men's flyweight title against Russia's Misha Aloian at 18:15, and Fazliddin Gaibazarov, also of Uzbekistan, fights Azerbaijan's Lorenzo Sotomayor Collazo to become men's light-welterweight champion at 19:00.

    There's been speculation about what Gwen Jorgensen and Nicola Spirig were talking about in the closing stages of the women's triathlon.

    British Triathlon coach Simon Ward and BBC Breakfast's Louise Minchin came up with their suggestions.

    Here's a tad more explanation around the battle for the runners-up spot in the medal table. 

    China will need all three of them golds to top team GB due to the difference in silvers. If Joe Joyce does the business, it's all over.

    It looks like Manchester has got its retaliation in late.

    After Yorkshire used London 2012 as evidence of white-rose supremacy, the Manchester Evening News, external have gathered up the medals won by athletes "born or based in the area" to claim a hypothetical fourth on the medal table. Or third if you took their medals away from Team GB.

    They save to the end of their article the fact that most of their medals come from cyclists from around the country relocating to be near British Cycling's Manchester headquarters.

    This was an incredible moment.

    New Zealand runner Nikki Hamblin tripped and fell to the ground during the 5,000m race, and accidentally brought down American Abbey D’Agostino down behind her.

    Instead of carrying on with her race, D’Agostino stopped to help the stricken Hamblin to her feet, encouraging her to join her in attempting to finish the race.

    However, during her tumble, D’Agostino suffered an ankle injury and struggled to carry on. Hamblin hung back to offer her encouragements and the two women went on to complete the race together.  

    They have since been awarded the Fair Play Award by Olympic officials.

    This is how the medal table looks this morning.

    More medals than Team GB four years ago, more golds than China, Russia and Germany in 2016.

    Rio medal table

    Compare it to how the medal table looked 12 years ago in Athens. Great Britain were 10th with just nine golds and less than half the total medal haul of Rio.

    Athens medals

    At Atlanta 20 years ago, Matthew Pinsent and Steve Redgrave won Britain's one and only gold as they finished below North Korea, Kazakhstan and Algeria in the medal table.

  18. More medals for GB?published at 11:03 British Summer Time 21 August 2016

    Team GB have got 66 already, but they're going to get at least one more to add to the collection on the final day.

    Men's super-heavyweight Joe Joyce is guaranteed at least a silver. He fights France's Tony Yoka in the gold-medal match at 19:15 BST.

    Grant Ferguson is Britain's entrant in men's mountain biking from 16:30 BST, while Scottish brothers Derek and Callum Hawkins, alongside Tsegai Tewelde, represent GB in the men's marathon, which starts at 13:30 BST.

    It looks like the race for second place on the Rio medal table is already won for Team GB.

    Coming into the final day's action, Gracenote's Simon Gleave says it is more likely that Great Britain - with Joe Joyce in the superheavyweight boxing final - will extend their one-gold lead rather than China pulls level.
