1610:
BOXING

Anthony Joshua's success makes it five medals won in the boxing ring for Great Britain.

And 64 medals altogether. Extraordinary.

Our first gold medal won by a woman who took up rowing 4 years ago. Our last, by a man who took up boxing 4 years ago :s_smile

These horses are all experienced and tested to make sure they can do it, so any cock up is down to the rider..as they find out on the way down to the ground :mrgreen:

Ollie Williams, BBC Sport at the modern pentathlon

"Briton Sam Murray will start the run-shoot pentathlon finale eight seconds off the lead and six seconds off a medal, in fourth place.

"In other words, the leader Laura Asadauskaite of Lithuania will head out onto the course first, at the same time as Brazil's Yane Marques who has the same score. Then, two seconds later, France's A***** Caze will be allowed to go.

"Six seconds after Caze, Murray will start. Then it's up to her to run faster over the three-kilometre course, and shoot quickly on the three occasions she reaches the shooting range during that run, to make up the time and get a medal.

"Mhairi Spence was in a similar situation at the World Championships and caught up to win gold. Anything is still possible. Spence, meanwhile, starts in 14th place - 38 seconds back."
