Today's coverage

And that will just about do it for today's Olympics coverage.

Golf looks to be the day's first coverage and that means more Lydia Ko, who stormed into a share of the lead at the women's gold overnight.

Later, from 8.30pm, Lisa Carrington & Aimee Fisher take to the water in the women's K1 500m semi-finals.

Women's shot put final

Herald reporter Michael Burgess is at the athletics and is seeking a quick interview with Maddison-Lee Wesche.

In the meantime, we've got a quick report up that we'll keep updating too.

Wesche asked about the final

"Women's shot put is so competitive at the moment so you can never rely on the position you're in throughout the whole comp. You wait to the end of the sixth throw and that's the way where you're going to be.

"Today I'm second and though I would have loved first and I would have loved to produce another PB, Yemi came out on top. She was the better athlete today and also a really kind person.

"I'm just happy to be here. Maddi Wesche, the Olympic silver medallist, doesn't sound too bad."

Maddison-Lee Wesche speaks after final

Maddison-Lee Wesche told Sky Sport she was "a little bit speechless" after the final.

"My family's in the stand and just to see them, I might tear up, My team are here. I don't even have words.

"Mum and my sisters and my coach, my whole team and my Nana and Poppa and aunties and uncles and friends and family. Their support means the world. To take time out of their lives to watch me come and do a weird thing like throw shot put, I am so proud and grateful of them."

Silver for Wesche
Women's shot put final

Maddison-Lee Wesche continues the shot put legacy.

Her silver means a Kiwi has been on the podium in the women's shot put at the last five Olympic games: Adams gold in Beijing and London, silver in Rio and bronze in Tokyo, plus Wesche today.

It looked as though Wesche had thrown further than 20m but it's fallen short, only measuring 19.68m.

That means Wesche will claim silver while the German Ogunleye takes gold.

Wesche's longest throw was her fifth with 19.86m. It's her personal best.

Ogunleye's throw looks to have gone over 20m ... and take the lead.

She has. 20m on the nose. 

Big final throw coming up for Wesche who has led for most of the final.

Yemisi Ogunleye is stepping up again before the Kiwi.

She took the lead last round for 30 seconds. What can she do now?
