I like the odds on Jamaica in womens 4*400 meters. Therefore also laying US at under 1,40

We badly need a new Long Jump coach. All of our athletes look capable of a medal but all three did no jumps in the first 3 rounds-awful. Hope Procter can find something in the final 3 attempts.

Ugen and proctor have both jumped pretty well. KJT is the most talented but mentally she is awful.

All very capable but surely you try to start a few centimetres behind the board and then get closer each jump once you are in a strong position. Well done Procter though to find so much improvement in the fourth round. We may well be on the way to two more golds today.

Obviously in an ideal world that's what you do. I don't think it's quite as easy as that though. Proctor and Ugen had very marginal no jumps. KJT actually did have a valid jump in the first round but bottled it two strides from the board, decelerating and then ending up well behind the board. She then proceeded to have a big no jump and then repeated her 1st round effort in the 3rd round. Effectively 6 rubbish jumps when it mattered. 3 here and 3 in the heptathlon. Be great to see Proctor win.

In the women's 400m, Jamaica has outperformed the US, with all four athletes reaching the individual final. Have taken Coral's 5/1 on them to win the relay, as I can't for the life of me see why the American's are best-priced at 1/7 (Lads), even though they should have Felix on last leg.

Excellent work.......

Great all round effort by GB ladies. If it had been European only we would have won 200m 400m(christine the only Euro in the final), both relays, Heptathlon, Pove Vault and Long Jump plus second place in 800, 1500 and third in the hammer and Long Jump. We only failed to get a finalist in the Marathon, Triple Jump and the 100 metres.
Men were a bit more mixed with European bests in 200m, 400m, 1500m 5000m and 10000m plus Long Jump Pole Vault and the 4x400 relay but no finalists in several events including amazingly the 100m. So GB could not muster a single finalist in either 100m event.

So if it had been European only we would have won 15 Gold Medals. Not bad.
