Last Updated: 14/08/16 10:17am
Britain's Jessica Ennis-Hill narrowly failed to retain her Olympic heptathlon title as she had to settle for a silver medal behind Belgium's Nafissatou Thiam in Rio.
Ennis-Hill needed to beat Thiam by nearly 10 seconds in the closing 800m but Thiam, who produced five personal bests from seven events, managed to pace her run well and eventually prevailed by a total of 35 points.
Thiam's winning total was 6,810 with Ennis-Hill on 6,775, while Canada's Brianne Thiesen Eaton took the bronze as Britain's Katarina Johnson-Thompson finished sixth.
Ennis-Hill admitted afterwards that she now faces a tough decision about her future.
"I've just got to make a decision as to whether this is my last heptathlon or not," said the 30-year-old.
"I'm so proud of what I've achieved in the last few years. I've got to have a think."
