  1. Duplantis sets new Olympic record

    Athletics - men's pole vault final

    Armand Duplantis holds off his gold medal celebrations until he's set a new Olympic record.

    It was inevitable.

    The Swede, who is now a two-time Olympic champion, flies well clear of 6.10m - that's 7cm further than Brazilian Thiago Braz's previous record at Rio 2016.

    And, he's not stopping there, Duplantis is going bigger!

  2. 'The start of a big, big voyage for Hodgkinson'

    There is a symmetry to it. 1994, Anne Packer, 2004, Kelly Holmes and now Keely Hodgkinson upgrades that silver to a gold in 2024. This will be the start of a big, big voyage for her.

  3. Hodgkinson 'wants to make her mark'

    Keely's not going anywhere, she's around for a long time. She wants to make her mark.

  4. Athletics - women's 800m final

    Keely Hodgkinson is only 22.

    Let that sink in.

    She was levels above in that final.

    This is just the start.

  5. 'Hodgkinson had to race smart'

    Keely Hodgkinson was ready for it, she had to race smart. She didn't shake her opponents until the very end.

    It was so tense, but she delivered, she ran the race that suited her and ended up taking it by the scruff of the neck because she knew she had to.

  7. 'Nah-ah-ah'

    Katharine Merry

    I was really looking at Mary Moraa. She was really looking at taking the inside line, but Keely was like "Nah-ah-ah".

  8. Athletics - women's 800m final

    Silver goes to Ethiopia's Tsige Duguma, who ran a personal best of 1:57.15 seconds, and Kenya's Mary Moraa had to settle for bronze.

  9. 'The silver queen has stepped up to gold'

    The silver queen has stepped up to gold and she so deserves it. Keely Hodgkinson ran that race with the weight of expectation on her, everyone was hanging that medal around her neck, she knew that as well.

    But to execute it in that way and to block someone of the tactical level of Mary Moraa, who can really mix it up, she was just so impressive. She held it off and when the gap appeared she put her foot to the floor.

  10. Athletics - women's 800m final

    From silver in Tokyo to gold in Paris.

    What a moment for Keely Hodgkinson.

    That is the first gold for Team GB in athletics since Sir Mo Farah won double-gold at Rio 2016!

  11. 'When the challenge came she stood up to it'

    Gold for Keely, gold for Great Britain, gold for being brilliant. A tougher race than she might have expected but she is so good and so much better than everyone else that even when the pressure and the challenge came she stood up to it and moved away.

  12. Gold Medal - Keely Hodgkinson (Team GB)

    Athletics - women's 800m final

    Keely Hodgkinson!!!!

    Was it ever in doubt?

    So much hype, so much expectation but not an ounce of concern or worry on the face of the Atherton-born runner.

    Hodgkinson was pushed by Kenya's Mary Moraa on the home straight but she had extra gears.

  13. Athletics - women's 800m final

    Mary Moraa sending a kind of message to Keely Hodgkinson by matching her coming around the bend.

  14. 400m to go

    Athletics - women's 800m final

    Tsige Duguma sets the pace but Keely Hodgkinson is right on her shoulder and edges in front with one lap left.

  15. Athletics - women's 800m final

    Team GB's Keely Hodgkinson is the red-hot favourite to take gold in this 800m final.

    The 22-year-old featured at the London Diamond League just over two weeks ago and set a new national record of 1:54.61 seconds - that's the quickest time this season of any of the nine athletes involved in this final.

    The runners take their spot on the blocks and off we go...

  16. 'Hodgkinson on the cusp of greatness'

    Kelly Hodgkinson has just taken the races as she has wanted to and she knows this is just one more race.

    One more race to destiny and it is hers to lose.

    I'm really excited to see her on the cusp of greatness.

  18. Hodgkinson 'favourite for gold'

    Athletics - women's 800m final

    Katharine Merry
    Former GB 400m runner on BBC Radio 5 Live

    We have been saying Keely Hodgkinson is favourite for gold for all season. That favourite tag got even bigger after the defending Olympic champion Athing Mu did not qualify through the US trials as she fell.

    The question is, how is Hodgkinson going to run the final to win? I hope we're not jinxing it.

  19. Gold Medal for Armand Duplantis

    Athletics - men's pole vault final

    Emmanouill Karalis, misses the 6m mark, but he's happy. The Greek athlete has just won pole vault bronze.

    American Sam Kendricks has one more shot. Here he goes...

    Mondo Duplantis defends his Olympic title! Kendricks fails to clear the 6m height.

    But Duplantis isn't finished yet. The Swede is chasing that Olympic record of 6.03m.

  20. Can Hodgkinson bring it Holmes?

    Keely Hodgkinson and Kelly Holmes

    I had the honour of being present when Keely Hodgkinson met up with double Olympic champion Kelly Holmes for a chat in Manchester before these Games, as they talked through the 22-year-old's journey to this point.

    This point being the brink of Olympic gold.

    There was no hesitation in Hodgkinson's reply when, after discussing her near-misses at successive World Championships since achieving Tokyo silver on her Games debut, Holmes asked what the aim was for Paris.

    "To win," was Hodgkinson's immediate response.

    Hodgkinson is still only 22 and so it is certainly not a case of now or never.

    But, after coming so close to global gold on three occasions in as many years, and arriving here as by far the quickest in the world this year, it does feel like this is her moment.
