Sara Kolak of Croatia wins women's javelin gold with a throw of 66.18m. South African Sunette Viljoen comes second, and Barbora Spotakova of Czech Republic emerges 3rd.

It's the event we've all been waiting for. Usain Bolt is in action. Can he make a trifecta of gold in the men's 200m event? He has been in 7 Olympic finals and is yet to lose any. Is an eighth Olympic Gold beckoning for the fastest man on Earth?

For the second time in two Olympics, Ashton Eaton of the USA wins gold in the men's Decathlon 1500m event.

United States' women qualify for the relay final, chalking up the fastest time. The Americans were given a reprieve after their dropping of the baton yesterday was found to have been caused by obstruction from Jamaica.
