2045: We're three-quarters of the way through the Women's Heptathlon events for the day and Great Britain's big hope Jess Ennis, who was leading after two disciplines, has just had a disappointing shot put which has dropped her down to second in the overall standings. USA's Hyleas Fountain has also dropped down to eighth. The 200 meter races get under way very shortly.
2142: Yeah, what a night for Poland - like London buses, nothing for a week and then two gold medals come along at once... Tomasz Majewski becomes the first man to ever retain his Olympic shot put title. Germany's David Strol takes silver and USA's Reese Hoffa bronze.
2223: Delegation - that's how things work around here. Still to come, we've got our Olympian of the Day, our images of the day and a look at who won the 22 golds on offer on Day Seven. On Day Eight, some Jamaican dude called Usain Bolt is going to arrive fashionably late to the party...
2230: Right then, let's take a look at some of the outstanding pictures from another scintillating day of Olympic action...
1058: The women's triathlon is coming to a dramatic conclusion and USA's Sarah Groff is right in the mix here...
1104: So in a brilliant sprint finish in London's Hyde Park it's the Swiss Nicola Spirig who takes the gold medal, with Sweden's Lisa Norden taking silver and Australia's Erin Densham bronze. USA's Sarah Groff finishes fourth and GB's Helen Jenkins fifth.
1112: Good point, Danny. All happening this morning (see also: every other morning). Heptathlon leader Jess Ennis just nailed a superb jump of 6.40 meters in the long jump and that is a massive boost in her quest for gold. USA's Hyleas Fountain, meanwhile, is having a shocker so far - she was fifth overnight, but has only jumped 6.05 with one left.
Hello. I have been brought in by Jonathan Stevenson with my number one goal to deliver medals. Wallop. Not a bad start. But there are 23 more golden items to be dished out today. Will the boy Phelps get his large hands on another one later?
1142: A bronze for Team USA in the rowing men's fours.
