    Belgium have three Borlee brothers in their quartet. Family advantage?

    The Bahamas are fancied but like the women it could be USA v Jamaica for gold.

    So many of those girls have been working hard this winter to try and stay injury free. I was on a train journey with Emily Diamond and we had a long chat about her career and how she is progressing and she had a good solid winter. I am so pleased for the women.

    The end of a great career?published at 02:30 British Summer Time 21 August 2016

    It slipped under my radar there but bronze in the 4x400m means that Christine Ohuruogu ends her Olympic career with medals at three Games.

    A gold, silver and a bronze.

    Men's 4x400m relay

    The final event on the track, as is tradition, is the men's 4x400m relay.

    No Great Britain team. If you missed why, they were disqualified after winning their heat because Matt Hudson-Smith was ruled to have had part of his foot out of the takeover zone when he began running.

    British Athletics said it was "hugely disappointed" and confident the team would have won a medal in the final.

    The appeal was rejected because video evidence was inconclusive, meaning the decision of the referee must be upheld.

    This GB quartet knew what they had to do. They knew there was a sniff of a medal. They have every confidence in each other. Brilliant job.
