there were great hopes for britain's dina asher—smith in the 100 metres. but she failed to reach the final after revealing that she'd been struggling with a hamstring injury. she's even had to pull out of her stronger event, the 200—metres. and she was understandably emotional, as she explained her decision. i am going to pull out. john just had that conversation with me, and that's the one that... as reigning world champion, you just... and i was in such good shape. you just know that the olympic champion is not too much of a further step. i'm really proud to have been able to execute my races here today, really proud everything i have done to this point. but when you're talking about the standard that i want to be at and i know i am capable of, sometimes if you... there's plenty more championships for me to come and kill. and in the men's100 metres heats, european champion zharnel hughes ran a season's—best time of 10.04, to reach the semi—finals along with team—mates cj ujah and reece prescod. but away from the athletics, it was a golden saturda

asher—smith. now it has another, who is already inspiring pupils. i hope that i could be there one day. it will take time but is not out of reach, i can do it. those who have seen her grow up have been waiting for her breakthrough. we are not seeing anything different in mr on the court than what we have seen at school. she's focused, determined, hard working and she's giving this everything we know she has got. raducanu's other hobby is muddier and less tranquil. yes, that's her under the helmet doing motocross as a youngster. there was go—karting too, but tennis won through in the end. read do ca nw�*s read do canw�*s promise was spotted young and it's on these cards in bromley that her rise through the ranks accelerated. despite her talents, school friends say it's surreal to see what she's achieved in the last week. i think it's been mad, i don't think anyone really realised she would play this well or get this far, and it is not over yet. tt play this well or get this far, and it is not

for british hopes, all eyes on dina asher—smith. what a phenomenal athlete she is. she is going to go in the 100 metres heats, the world's silver medallist as well from last year. however, there is jamaica's shelly—ann fraser—pryce, who is in great form this year. she is bidding to become the first ever woman to win three sprint olympic gold medals. there is only one medal on offer in the track and field a little bit later, and that's going to be in the men's 10,000 metres final. the ugandanjoshua cheptegei in that with britain's mo farah not at these games to compete in that. looking very much to them all of that. thank you so much, sarah. away from the olympics, the british and irish lions face south africa in the second test on saturday, but there's been an extraordinary outburst from the springboks' director of rugby, rassie erasmus. he posted an hour—long monologue on social media where he severely criticises the refereeing in last weekend's series opener, which the lions won by 22—17. he said he wanted to make sure his side got an "equal chance" in the

the athletics gets under way, with a first look at dina asher—smith taking part in the women's 100m heats. she's hotley tipped for at least one medal. great britain's women take on australia in the football quarterfinals — gb went unbeaten in their group, with two wins and a draw — and victory over australia would guarantee them a medal. and can vicky thornley turn around britain's rowing fortunes? she goes in the final of the single sculls. all that and more to look forward to. now before we go, the olympics has been filled with some really lovely moments. the fiji rugby sevens team won gold in the tournament for the second time and — for a nation with a population ofjust 800,000 — it was very emotional for the players. we'll leave you with the sounds of the team getting their medals and singing their national anthem. that's it for sportsday. thanks very much for watching. bye—bye. they sing. hello. a stormy evening and night is ahead for the southwest of england, where for the southwest of england, there is a met office warning where there is a met office amber warning and for

dina asher—smith began her bid to become the first british women to win a 0lympic individual sprint gold. and she made it safely through with a solid time of 11.07 seconds, finishing behind american teahna daniels. looks like she is saving herself for the semi finals on saturday. and team mates asha phillip and daryll neita also quaified from their heats. you want to come out and get a place in the next round and do a solid run, at the same time without doing too much, because you have another level to go to tomorrow, so i'm happy to have done that this morning. 0ne football line for you away from the olympics, and marcus rashford will have surgery on his shoulder next week. the manchester united and england striker has been troubled by the problem for a number of months. united wanted to check, but have now agreed to the surgery. it is thought rashford will be sidelined for around three months. and hopes of the rugby league world cup going ahead in the autumn have been dealt a further blow, as the national rugby league clubs in australia have backed the decision made by the current cham

in what is considered the biggest draw of the games, one of many, anyway, dina asher—smith failed to find her best form in the heat at the olympic stadium. we saw the britain's athletics captain, there she is there, seeming to run... she finished second to america. that's all from us here in tokyo. back to you in london. don't forget you can get in touch. good evening. storm evert has brought disruptive winds through the day for the southern half of the united kingdom. some of the gustiest winds occurred through the morning across southwestern areas into the south of wales. some of the strongest winds further east into the afternoon, where even in land, we had 40—115 mph gusts of wind. it's notjust been a story about wind. we have also had some really torrential rain in central and eastern parts, northern england as well. and those storms, thunderstorms, will continue to rumble on into this evening. and the actual storm itself, storm evert, is moving out into the north sea, but you can see in its wake still quite a bit of rain. this is a weather front as well coming into eastern sc

asher—smith will be hoping to make the women's final. that gets under way at around 1:50pm saturday afternoon our time. the men's100 metres also starts. the highlight for team gb on day seven was two medals in the space of a few minutes on the bmx track. after crowdfunding her way to the games, beth shriever won a gold in the women's race. it's britain's first gold in the sport, with shriever beating the winner at the last two olympics to claim the title. and she was met on the finish line by kye white, who just moments earlier had won silver in the men's event. both had to battle back from injuries to get to tokyo. honestly, i'm in shock. like, to even be here is an achievement in itself. to make a final is another achievement in itself. to win a gold medal, honestly, i'm so over the moon. there was more success in the pool as duncan scott won a silver in the men's 200 metres individual medley. it's his third medal of the games, the first british swimmer to do that since 1908. scott delivered team gb�*s sixth medal overall in the pool

also getting through very safely was great britain's dina asher—smith. i don't know whether it's the track or some new shoes we may talk about in the days to come but there's some very coming on the track so we might well get a lot of records over the coming days at the athletics. hundreds of troops are to be deployed in the australian city of sydney to help police ensure that residents observe stay—at—home restrictions as covid infections continue to rise. 0ur correspondent in sydney, shaimaa khalil, says australia's low vaccination rate is an issue. it is the availability of the vaccine, the fact that has been so much mixed messaging around astrazeneca that many people have gone for it for weeks. also this is a country where for the longest time life had gone back to near normal. as recently as may. there was not that push in the beginning to get people to get vaccinated because people to get vaccinated because people felt there wasn't an urgency. now of course with the situation in new south wales going from bad to worse, there is a big push from
