    Can she do it?

    The atmosphere here just builds and builds as the climber gets higher and higher. There are gasps and groans, like a crowd watching a tightrope walker at the circus, as the climbers drag themselves up.

    It's great fun.

    Once again, Jakob Schubert finds a high point on the leaderboard.

    You wanted to know how tired he is, he is still breathing so hard and can't even undo the rope!

    Truly spectacular.

    Wow! It's a tremendous climb from Austria's Jakob Schubert as he puts 96 points on the board to move up to top spot!

    With only GB's Toby Roberts and Japan's Sorato Anraku able to go above him, Schubert has guaranteed himself at least a bronze.

    Thiam does not improve with final throwpublished at 11:55 British Summer Time 9 August

    Heptathlon - Event 6 javelin

    Nafi Thiam throws 52.56m with her final throw, meaning she does not improve on her mammoth opening effort of 54.04m.

    She smiles and waves to the crowd knowing she will hold a lead of 121 points from Katarina Johnson-Thompson going into the 800m.

    Johnson-Thompson is stronger at that event but she will need a convincing win to overhaul the defending Olympic champion.

    Richard: Surely the perspective is wrong on this climbing wall? It can't be as steep as it looks. These guys must have fingers of steel to maintain their grip.

    Climbing is so very different to other sports. It doesn't matter who or what team you're rooting for, you want every climber to top. The positivity is amazing.
