Usain Bolt has become the first runner to win three gold medals

:00:22.:00:28.

After winning the 100 and 200 metre titles,

:00:29.:00:33.

he's now led the Jamaican team to victory in the 4 x 100 metres.

:00:34.:00:38.

There were more medals overnight for Team GB with the women's sprint

:00:39.:00:41.

relay team taking bronze and Lutalo Muhammad taking

:00:42.:00:44.

His report does contain some flashing images.

:00:45.:00:52.

If there was any doubt before, there certainly is not any more.

:00:53.:01:02.

Usain Bolt quite simply the greatest sprinter, perhaps the greatest

:01:03.:01:05.

For a man who has been in a field of his own for so long,

:01:06.:01:16.

Bolt's final Olympic glory would come as a team.

:01:17.:01:18.

One more win to complete the triple triple, three sprint golds at three

:01:19.:01:21.

consecutive Olympics, a feat once unimaginable.

:01:22.:01:24.

In Rio, it now seemed almost inevitable.

:01:25.:01:29.

Usain Bolt is doing what he always does,

:01:30.:01:31.

On the final leg, this was Bolt's final word,

:01:32.:01:38.

no more discussion, no-one can compare.

:01:39.:01:41.

I enjoy pressure, I live for these moments, for me it is beautiful.

:01:42.:01:48.

I came through and I am proud of myself.

:01:49.:01:50.

I never knew from the start this would happen to me.

:01:51.:01:54.

Now it has, it is a brilliant feeling.

:01:55.:01:56.

With the USA disqualified, Britain finished a frustrating fifth.

:01:57.:02:02.

In the women's event, Britain seemed like they had

:02:03.:02:12.

their routine perfected, but there are no prizes for choreography.

:02:13.:02:19.

On the track is where medals are won.

:02:20.:02:21.

Keeping up with the US and Jamaica perhaps impossible,

:02:22.:02:23.

so a bronze for Britain's team will feel like a victory.

:02:24.:02:29.

If it was teamwork that was winning medals, then for others,

:02:30.:02:32.

centre stage must at times feel like a lonely place.

:02:33.:02:37.

Taekwondo is a sport of precision, of tiny margins.

:02:38.:02:39.

Those can be the most heartbreaking of all.

:02:40.:02:48.

Britain's Lutalo Muhammad was ahead with just one

:02:49.:02:50.

second left on the clock, but one

:02:51.:02:52.

second was all that was needed for the cruellest of blows.

:02:53.:02:54.

I was so close to being Olympic champion.

:02:55.:02:58.

When it comes to hockey, teamwork really is everything.

:02:59.:03:03.

So far, no side has been a match for Britain's women.

:03:04.:03:06.

Now against the Netherlands, time for the match of their lives.

:03:07.:03:08.

The tension, almost unbearable, and that was before

:03:09.:03:15.

For goalkeeper Maddie Hinch, the message on the bottle

:03:16.:03:21.

Nothing, it seemed, was getting past her.

:03:22.:03:27.

Going all the way around Maddie Hinch, she pushes it away.

:03:28.:03:31.

Now all Hollie Webb had to do was hold her nerve.

:03:32.:03:34.

Great Britain have won the Olympic gold medal.

:03:35.:03:45.

For Great Britain, the night had it all.

:03:46.:03:50.

They call the Olympics the greatest show on Earth and now they have said

:03:51.:03:54.

farewell to possibly the greatest showman we have ever seen.

:03:55.:03:59.

Our correspondent, Andy Swiss, is in the Olympic Park

:04:00.:04:01.

And, Andy, are there more medals in store for Team GB today?

:04:02.:04:11.

Yes, so much for team GB to look forward to today. In the next hour,

:04:12.:04:19.

Liam Hughes will be going for gold in the canoe sprint. He was fastest

:04:37.:04:40.

the first for nearly a century. Tom Daley will go in the diving later

:04:41.:04:46.

:04:47.:04:50.

hoping for another medal in the individual event. In the athletics

:04:51.:04:53.

tonight, more fire will be hoping to add the 5000 metres to his 10,000

:04:54.:04:59.

metres title. So much going on for Team GB and they have a very real

:05:00.:05:04.

chance of matching or exceeding the 65 medals they

:05:05.:05:18.

won at London 2012 by the end of the day. At an overseas game, that would

:05:19.:05:21.

be some achievement. Many thanks. So just to confirm the medal

:05:22.:05:22.

position following the action overnight,

:05:23.:05:24.

Team GB remain in second place

:05:25.:05:25.

yesterday afternoon when the family of five were fishing on rocks just

safety and bring back to be sure to be renowned -- to be reunited with
