    'I am still in disbelief I was in an Olympic final'published at 14:44 British Summer Time 3 August 2021

    Men's pole vault

    Team GB pole vaulter Harry Coppell on his seventh place finish at the Olympics: "It has just been amazing, I am still in a little bit of disbelief that I was in an Olympic final. But I went out and I jumped as well as I could.

    I am a little bit gutted to not get the PB because that would have put me in the fight for a medal but I am just so happy.

    "It has been brilliant, that was one of the best sessions I have had in months, then the training sessions just started getting better and better.

    Physically I was feeling great and my volume was looking really good. Even better than when I was rolling in 2020.

    "The [accident involving my teeth] was a bit of a mishap, but if I had broken nose I wouldn't have been able to breathe. All I had to do was see the dentist a couple of times so I can smile right now."

    I didn't think Elaine Thompson-Herah was in the running, but she came through like a steam train! That was brilliant. I want to see her in the 400m so hopefully she is smart and preserves herself for that. She has come in alongside seasoned athletes and run the race of her life.

    These are some amazing races. That 200m was electric.

    That was incredible, as we predicted Elaine Thompson-Herah was going to be out, but Gabby Thomas found it again. She ran a 21.6 at the Olympic trials, we didn't feel like it was a fluke but we questioned if she could reproduce that.
