The Belgian Olympic and Interfederal Committee (BOIC) has outlined bonuses which will be paid to athletes who achieved top-eight finishes at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Katie Nageotte of the United States earned gold here as the women’s pole vault took a final twist away from the athlete who seemed destined to win it, world champion Anzhelika Sidorova of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) team.

British hopes for a re-run of "Super Saturday" from London 2012 fell short here tonight, but gold for Mo Farah in the 10,000 metres, silver for Jessica Ennis-Hill in the heptathlon and bronze for Greg Rutherford in the long jump surely constituted a "Satisfactory Saturday" at the least.

This is the way athletics at the Olympic Games is supposed to feel.
