    Galal to go for goldpublished at 14:32 British Summer Time 5 August 2021

    Boxing

    Great Britain's Galal Yafai will compete for gold after reaching the Olympic final with a relentless display against Kazakhstan's Saken Bibossinov.

    The Birmingham fighter, competing in the 52kg flyweight division, was involved in one of the fights of the Tokyo Games and edged a split decision.

    "I can't believe it. It's ridiculous, it's a dream," Yafai told BBC Sport.

    "We're a close-knit team and we support each other. We have six medals now. It shows what GB Boxing is."

    Brilliant bronze for Bradshawpublished at 14:29 British Summer Time 5 August 2021

    Women's pole vault

    Holly Bradshaw had been waiting for this moment for a very, very long time. But she finally has her hands on an Olympic medal.

    The Brit finally landed her first major championship podium finish with pole vault bronze.

    The 29-year-old, who finished fifth and sixth at Rio 2016 and London 2012, edged out defending champion Katerina Stefanidi as she cleared 4.85m.

    But Bradshaw couldn't follow gold medallist Katie Nageotte of the USA or Russian world champion Anzhelika Sidorova over 4.90m.

    "This is what I've worked for my whole career. I've had so many ups and downs. It's something that I've just wanted, and wanted it so bad and it finally happened," she told BBC Sport.

    We had to wait a little while for another medal, but boy was it worth it.

    Matt Walls dominated the omnium to win his first Olympic gold, and Team GB's first at the velodrome at this Games.

    The 23-year-old finished on a total of 153 points, 24 more than silver medallist Campbell Stewart of New Zealand, while Italy's defending champion Elia Viviani took bronze.

    Elsewhere on the Izu boards, Jack Carlin progressed to the sprint semi-finals but two-time defending champion Jason Kenny was eliminated.

    Katy Marchant saw her keirin campaign cut short in the quarter-finals after she was caught up in a crash.

    'I'm in shock'published at 14:16 British Summer Time 5 August 2021

    Women's heptathlon

    Heptathlon gold medallist Nafi Thiam speaking to BBC Sport:

    "I'm still in shock, it's been two difficult years with a lot of up and downs and physical problems and in my head I wasn't always in the right place. I'm happy, it's paid off in the end and now I want to enjoy my holidays I think I need some time off - I'm just exhausted.

    "A lot of up and downs and a lot of pressure from the outside and also that I put on myself. I don't really have the words right now.

    "Five years ago in Rio it was a shock, I'm really proud I was able to do this it was difficult for me I had to provide some solid performances on day two and I was really focused this morning and my coach was positive. But he couldn't be with me which was a bit of a punch in the face - I didn't think I could do it without him. I'm thankful for the team around me saying I could do this."

    Holly Bradshaw speaking to BBC Sport, after winning bronze in the women's pole vault:

    "This is what I’ve worked for my whole career. I’ve had so many ups and downs. It’s something that I’ve just wanted, and wanted it so bad and it finally happened. It’s not sunk in, I don’t know what to say. I’m almost emotionless – I don’t know what emotion I’m feeling.

    "Relief, pure enjoyment, just excited and proud of myself for sticking with it. I knew I could get it one day and I can’t express how grateful I am at getting an Olympic medal.

    "I’m really proud of myself and all of my team for sticking with me."
