  1. Goodbye!published at 15:30 British Summer Time 7 August 2021

    So folks, that's the penultimate day of the Olympics done. Which there is only one day left... *crying face emoji*

    There are 13 more medals at stake tomorrow and, of course, the closing ceremony.

    Sithee then.

  2. How does the medal table stand?published at 15:26 British Summer Time 7 August 2021

    Mariya Lasitskene's success in the women's high jump had wider consequences for Team GB.

    The gold for the Russian Olympic Committee moved them back above Great Britain in the medal table on the penultimate day.

    Earlier, Britain climbed up to fourth with their 20th gold in Tokyo but that tally was matched by the ROC after Lasitskene's win.

    Team GB have won 63 medals in total, leaving them two short of the total at London 2012 (65) and four short of Rio 2016 (67).

    Phew! Not a bad way to finish the penultimate day of the Olympics, eh?

    Let's have a recap of all of today's most magical moments...

    'One moment of genius'published at 15:09 British Summer Time 7 August 2021

    Brazil 2-1 Spain

    Alistair Mann
    Football commentator on BBC TV

    The referee concludes proceedings, for the second Olympic games in a row, Brazil have Olympic gold!

    Brazil created better opportunities and missed a penalty along the way as well.

    Just look what it means to the players - it's so important to them!

    You have to feel for the Spanish who put everything into this game but it just wasn't enough on the day.

    One moment of genius was all it took for the gold medal to be Brazil's.

    Tears of joy, tears of pain. Tears everywhere.

    Dani Alves is tossed a green and yellow flag - you know the one - and drapes it around his shoulders.

    A new bit of gold bling will be going round the former Barcelona and Paris St-Germain star's neck shortly, too.

    The man has more silverware than your favourite cutlery supplier. Extraordinary.

    All over! Gold for Brazil, again. After all those years of demanding the Olympic title, the nation has won two in a row.

    Sensational celebrations from the Samba boys!

    Game management, lads. Game management, That's what the Brazil bench will shouting from the sidelines. In Portuguese, of course.

    Tired minds and tired legs staggering all over the pitch. Looks like the end of a Royal Rumble.

    Seconds left...

    Another ball in from the Spanish right, this time from a boot, also finds the hands of Brazil keeper Santos.

    Catch, tuck, fall onto the knees and a slow clamber up. Textbook.

    In. The. Mixer!

    Juan Miranda - seemingly, the Spanish version of Rory Delap - lobs in a long throw but Brazil clear.

    Heading towards the 120th minute...

    Spain's concern will be conceding a third on the break. Paulinho (not that one, Spurs fans) bursts forward in the left channel of the Spain box but is hustled out of the way before he can get a shot away.
