    You know when Mondo Duplantis is competing, you are always on world record watch.

    He essentially breaks world records when he wants but this is the Olympic stage. He has broken world records at world championships and European championships but this is the Olympics. He loves the big moments and big stages.

    Valerie: Keely, you have just made an old woman very happy. Well done.

    Anon: Keely certainly has the appetite of a winner as Michael Johnson said. She was genuinely disappointed as a silver medallist in Rio and set out to put things right.

    The strangest thing is that you don't allow yourself to think about this moment, the whole time you just focus on the process and then when it happens it's almost just a shock.

    Your life changes so much in so many ways, the opportunities, the confidence that it gives you more than anything, you ride this wave of success.

    I see so many more gold medals coming Keely's way.

    What a night at the Stade de France!

    The crowd can't believe their luck as Mondo Duplantis delivers with his final attempt to improve the world record for a ninth time.

    The man is not human!

    Nobody is leaving here early, as the pole vault medallists bounce and dance their way around the stadium to magnificent support.

    Fans tend to pile out of the stadium in quick fashion after the last track event concludes but Mondo Duplantis is the kind of character to command a crowd.

    With a gold medal already secured and a world record in his sights - he broke it - no one was leaving the Stade de France early tonight.

    The Swedish showman gets the audience he deserves and the fans are now being treated to Abba's Dancing Queen on the speakers!

    What an end to the night.

    Team GB's Keely Hodgkinson speaking to BBC TV after winning gold in the women's 800m final: "I think that [the podium] is when it will sink in and you will see some real emotion from me. I have worked really hard for the last year and I think you can see how much it meant to me when I crossed the line. I can't believe I have finally done it!

    "To do it here, where better? The audience was incredible. It felt like a home crowd to me in itself in Paris, so yes I am super, super happy."

    On how the race played out: "It could have been ran in any way. I wanted to be up near the front, probably quicker than I was at the bell. Doing the semi and final back to back I feel like everyone was tired. it was tough.

    "I just wanted to save a bit for the last hundred. I trusted in myself. I could feel Mary [Moraa] pushing me on the back straight but... Composure. And we got to the line first this time so I'm super happy."

    Keely knew that she had it won, she just wanted to look up to the screen and check I guess. She knew they were never going to be able to catch her once she was able to change that gear.

    This is by no means the pinnacle for Keely Hodgkinson. She still has a huge, huge long way to go. She could be back here in four years, still only 26 and still an absolute force to be reckoned with.

    What next for the 22-year-old?

    LA 2028 is certainly on the agenda but will she look to double up with 800m and 1500m?

    Athletics - men's pole vault final

    Armand Duplantis has already broke the Olympic record once this evening, but he wants more.

    It's go big, or go home. He's going for 6.25m! That's 1cm higher than the world record he set earlier this year.

    The Swede brings down the bar on his first attempt. And it's the same again on his second.

    One more shot...

    Sudip: The start of a great Olympic career. Can Keely step up and go for the 800/1500m double in L.A in 2026 a la Kelly Holmes? Why not? A class athlete.

    Russell: Huge respect to all the GB medallists, but the fact of the matter is that Keely has just won THE medal of these games for us. Nothing will top that - absolutely sensational what a mercurial talent she is. All that pressure and who'd have known it.

    James: Fantastic by Keely, ran from the front and never looked in danger. Superb race.

    The best athletes figure out how to manage that moment of pressure before the race. Keely's maturation over the last few years, getting to major championships, getting silver medals, she has been very consistent.

    People have out performed her in the past but she didn't allow herself to out-perform herself mentally and put herself out of the podium. When that happens and you are consistently there, you prepare yourselves to take moments like these.

    Keely Hodgkinson is the most incredible woman, human being but athlete as well. I'm so happy for her, she absolutely deserves every moment.

    To see her coach Trevor, to see her coach Jenny, her physio Ollie Rose, all those people who have been around her from the very start nurturing her and helping her to be the best that she can be when it really matters.

    She has delivered, she has delivered with all that pressure.
