Team GB

Gold medallist, Ben Maher will not jump in the final round of the team event, and he spoke to BBC Sport to explain:

"It's been a tough night for our team. Holly (Smith) and Harry (Charles) gave it their best but it's not our night. 24 faults puts us out of medal contention. Explosion W has been incredible this week and he doesn't owe anyone anything so we decided to keep him back and save him for another day.

"I am not a quitter but with these animals it's been a long jouney over here. He goes away Olympic champion but it's important for me he comes back safe.

On winning the Olympic gold with Exlosion W:

"Every dream of mine has come true this week. Obviously it's not happened this evening but it will sink in now and I'm sure it will become a reality."

It's all over for Great Britain in the showjumping team final as Ben Maher takes the decision to withdraw.

With Team GB sitting ninth in the standings on 24 penalties, he has decided it's not worth risking Explosion W.

It's getting very competitive. Letesenbet Gidey is in front but Sifan Hassan is right behind her.

Gidey turns around and asks Hassan why she keeps clipping her! She's not impressed.

They have dropped the pace very slightly but it's all about these three now.

Sifan Hassan and Letesenbet Gidey are still right at the front, almost side-by-side, leading the pace.

Kalkidan Gezahegne of Bahrain is keeping with them.

Great Britain's Jessica Judd and Eilish McColgan are further behind. They won't get a medal because it's all about the three at the front.

It is a race of survival and it's no surprise that girls are dropping away as much as they are.

10 laps to go. The pace is so fast we've already had a few athletes dropping out.

It's hot conditions and Sweden's Sarah Lahti is the latest to pull out.

Eilish McColgan is doing the right thing, reacting to the pace and moving up gradually to maintain pace with that group, especially when the conditions are this energy sapping.

The women's 10,000m final has got under way.

Britain have Eilish McColgan, whose mother won world gold in this stadium, over this distance, 30 years ago, and Jessica Judd in the field.

It is expected to come down to a duel between the Netherlands' Sifan Hassan, the 5,000m champion, and Ethiopia's world record holder Letesenbet Gidey.

The pace is already getting toasty.

Great Britain's Joe Choong after winning men's modern pentathlon gold: "I'm in shock. I was swearing in my head. There were a couple of heavy jumps on the ride, the swim was good, the fencing was good and the running was pretty tactical. The shooting was pretty sketchy but I pulled myself together."

How did it feel watching Kate French getting the gold?

"Yesterday was an absolute rollercoaster. I saw the ride and it was a bit of a carnage wasn't it? But Kate's run calmed me back down. She was a legend.

"I've always said I want to be the best in the world at something. This is literally a dream come true.

"I couldn't let Kate have all the limelight. I felt the pressure to keep up with her and get one for the boys."

Joe Choong's gold medal is the second for Great Britain in the modern pentathlon at Tokyo 2020 after Kate French won the women's title.

After two rounds from each team, France lead the showjumping team final with just the two penalties.

Sweden are second with four penalties, followed by the USA and Belgium who posted slower times.

Great Britain are down in ninth.

Morgan Lake sounded in confident mood ahead of the today's high jump final, suggesting she was in PB shape.

But it is not to be for the Briton.

She has been forced to withdraw from the high jump final because of a foot injury sustained on her way to 1.95m clearance in qualifying.

Still only 24, the Rio 2016 finallist will surely have another crack or two at this Olympics game.

Bad news.

Great Britain's Morgan Lake has withdrawn from the women's high jump final with a foot injury.

Egypt's Ahmed Elgendy took the silver medal. Jun Woong-tae of South Korea won bronze.

"I pulled myself together and this time I've nailed it," Joe Choong tells BBC Sport.

"I've always said I wanted to be the best in the world. This is literally a dream come true."

Jessica Springsteen - daughter of Bruce - is second up on Don Juan van de Donkhoeve for the USA in the showjumping team final.

With four penalties, the Americans drop to second behind France.

That was nail-biting stuff - it was a running race between Choong and Elgendy.

He opened up the burners, was striding out and he knew he got it - there is the new Olympic champion for Great Britain and Joe Choong makes history.

Wow! What a race!

Joe Choong wins the first men's modern pentathlon gold medal for Great Britain.

Harry Charles is coming in and is going to be under a bit of pressure now.

We keep talking about the middle of that combination and Harry didn't get the stretch over the middle.

Jumping around this big track for 8 faults is not a bad performance, and he wasn't even meant to be doing this. We can't be too hard on him.
