It's been another golden day for Team GB at the Rio Olympics,

:00:23.:00:26.

with Liam Heath winning the men's 200-metre Kayak -

:00:27.:00:29.

Britain's women's hockey team have been celebrating their first ever

:00:30.:00:34.

Olympic gold, and in the past half an hour in the women's triathlon

:00:35.:00:38.

There's disappointment though for Tom Daley, who has failed

:00:39.:00:44.

Andy Swiss has been watching the action.

:00:45.:00:53.

Britain's golds have come in many different ways. Now for paddle

:00:54.:01:01.

power. In lane five, Liam Heath, a whirlwind of arms, and over 200

:01:02.:01:07.

metres he timed it to perfection. After silver in the ? gold in the

:01:08.:01:13.

single. What a Games to remember. Absolutely incredible. It's been in

:01:14.:01:17.

my mind every single day for the last four years. And then I felt

:01:18.:01:25.

like I switched on to automatic. There was also a medal in the

:01:26.:01:30.

women's triathlon, Nicky Holland pipping team-mate Non Stanford to

:01:31.:01:34.

the bronze. Others though worth trying to come to terms with

:01:35.:01:38.

success. The women's hockey team, Olympic champions for the first

:01:39.:01:41.

time, after the most dramatic of penalty shoot outs. And today, their

:01:42.:01:48.

captain told me just how much it meant. To finally stand on top of

:01:49.:01:55.

the podium and sing the National and the -- the national anthem, it is

:01:56.:01:58.

something I have dreams about since I was a little girl. It still is

:01:59.:02:04.

going to make me emotional now, it will make me emotional forever. But

:02:05.:02:09.

from the ecstasy to the agony. Lutalo Mohammed, one second from

:02:10.:02:16.

gold and then this. -- Mohamed. There they had shot in a

:02:17.:02:21.

last-second. His opponent could scarcely believe it and neither

:02:22.:02:27.

could Lutalo Mohammed. If you think you have seen how painful sport can

:02:28.:02:33.

be, think again. I'm so distraught. I'm so sorry to the people that

:02:34.:02:37.

stayed up late to watch and cheer me on. I let them down at the last

:02:38.:02:48.

second. There was rather more to smile about for Britain's women's

:02:49.:02:55.

Sprink Rita -- relay team, as they took bronze. But there was only one

:02:56.:02:59.

centre of attention, Usain Bolt, as part of the Jamaican quartet, could

:03:00.:03:05.

he make it three sprint titles with three consecutive Games? The answer

:03:06.:03:08.

was as glorious as it was inevitable. Bolt called it the

:03:09.:03:15.

triple trouble, the perfect end to a flawless Olympic career. I look it

:03:16.:03:22.

up -- I look at it as an accomplishment, I enjoy these

:03:23.:03:26.

moments, it's beautiful, I'm proud of myself. So the very fondest of

:03:27.:03:31.

farewells, nine Olympic titles, the ultimate achievement from the

:03:32.:03:37.

ultimate athlete. Yes, a great night for Usain Bolt. Not such a great day

:03:38.:03:42.

for Britain's Tom Daley, because he has failed to qualify for the final

:03:43.:03:46.

of the diving. In fact committee finished last in his semifinal. Now

:03:47.:03:52.

that is a big shock. Tom Daley won medal at this event in London 2012.

:03:53.:03:54.

He won't be winning a medal here. There's more Olympic

:03:55.:04:00.

action ahead this evening. Later, Mo Farah runs

:04:01.:04:02.

in the 5000 metre final. And in the next hour the London 2012

:04:03.:04:04.

boxing champion Nicola Adams will defend her women's

:04:05.:04:07.

flyweight title. She too will take gold

:04:08.:04:10.

if she beats her French Our Sports Correspondent Natalie

:04:11.:04:12.

Pirks is in the Rio Centro Arena, where the fight

:04:13.:04:20.

gets underway shortly. A big moment for British

:04:21.:04:22.

women's boxing. A huge moment. It's starting to get

:04:23.:04:33.

very busy, very loud here. Adams will fight the 34-year-old former

:04:34.:04:38.

champion Ourahmoune. She's a classy fighter, but most think that Nicola

:04:39.:04:43.

Adams will have too much for her. If she does defend her flyweight title,

:04:44.:04:47.

she will become the first British boxer to do so since 1924. And we

:04:48.:04:55.

have more excitement ahead? Yes, Mo Farah is looking to do the

:04:56.:04:58.

double-double tonight. Of course, he's looking to retain his 5000

:04:59.:05:02.

metre title he retained successfully, his 10,000 set -- he

:05:03.:05:07.

retained his 10,000 metre title last weekend. We have the women's four by

:05:08.:05:13.

400 m relay and Bianca Walkden is in the quarterfinals of the taekwondo,

:05:14.:05:18.

looking to emulate Jade Jones. In London, Britain had 65 medals. Right

:05:19.:05:24.

now, they have 62. Two more guaranteed in the boxing this

:05:25.:05:27.

weekend. If they were to beat that tally, they would be the first home

:05:28.:05:32.

nation to ever go to an away games and to their medal tally, so plenty

:05:33.:05:37.

to look forward to in the next 24 hours. Quite some achievement, thank

:05:38.:05:38.

you. So with just a day left

to black voters in America - telling them they have "nothing

to lose" by voting for him. The Republican Presidential

the US government almost $7 million, in order for them to drop

:06:45.:06:48.

a claim against him. The US government had

:06:49.:06:50.

accused the former SEAL of breaking his confidentiality

:06:51.:06:52.

non-disclosure agreements. The United States has conducted an

:06:53.:07:04.

operation that killed Osama Bin Laden.

reinforces the need for military personnel to abide by the secrecy
