    Women's lightweight final

    An emotional Kellie Harrington spoke to BBC Sport after winning her gold medal:

    "I can’t sum it up. I’ve just been going with the flow. I haven’t been putting pressure on myself. I’ve been enjoying it, I really have.

    "The coaches work together and make the perfect formula."

    On the people at home watching her fight on big screens in the street, she added: "It’s just amazing. I can’t put it into words. If I could be in two places at the same time, I would be at home."

    Men’s super heavyweight final

    That was a brutal fight.

    It's Uzbekistan's Bakhodir Jalolov who comes out on top in the men’s super-heavyweight final, securing a 5-0 victory over American Richard Torrez Jr.

    That means the women's handball final between the ROC and France and the men's water polo gold-medal match between Greece and Serbia are the only events still standing at Tokyo 2020.

    The final moments of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics are being played out as I type.

    'She has had to overcome major adversity'published at 07:18 British Summer Time 8 August 2021

    Women's middleweight final

    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live

    If these Games had taken place last year Lauren Price's grandfather would have been there, he may not have been there in person but he would have been watching.

    She has done it for him, she has done it for Britain and more than that she has done it for Lauren Price because she has had to overcome major adversity.

    She had her tactics spot on and Li just couldn't cope. She made it look easy - it was like watching a spar.

    She dealt with all the pressure really well.
