Joe Joyce will soon be in action in the men's super heavyweight boxing, in Britain's last chance at adding another medal (obviously he's guaranteed at least silver). Tony Yoka of France is his opponent.

Lorenzo Sotomayor of Azerbaijan has been defeated by the Uzbek, Fazliddin Gaibnazarov. It's a silver for him, and gold for his victor. Sotomayor has an interesting histroy. He boxed in Cuba, but moved to Azerbaijan in 2013 to follow his Russian wife who lived there.

Another final, and a Russian gold medal in the men's -65kg. Soslan Ramonov, winner of the 2014 World Championship, has another success. He beat Toghrul Asgarov, the defending Olympic Champions. No more semi-nude protests to report.

And another angle.

And here is the wrestling-cum-stripping.

In the -65kg freelance wrestling, there's been some unusual behaviour. Uzbekistan’s Ikhtiyor Navruzov took bronze, defeating Mongolia’s Mandakhnaran Ganzorig thanks to a late penalty. To protest the decision, Ganzorig and his support staff stripped in the ring and refused to leave. Yep.

Speaking on the BBC, Mo Farah has suggested that he'll change his focus to the marathaon:
“We’ll see. I have thought about it a little bit,” he said.
“I work hard and it takes six months away from my family, spending time up in mountains.
“Next year I will give the World Championships in London on the track a go and decide what I want to do.
“I want to see what I can do in the marathon. 2017 I will end on the track and then see what I can do in the marathon I will just take one day at a time.”
