Katarina Johnson-Thompson claimed her first Olympic heptathlon medal but narrowly missed out on taking the gold to Belgium's Nafissatou Thiam. 

Johnson-Thompson, who is a two-time world champion, produced a career-best performance in the 800m, clocking a time of 2:04.90 seconds.

After going into the final event 121 points behind Thiam, the Brit needed to finish nearly nine seconds quicker than her opponent to reach the top step of the podium. 

However, the Belgian finished with a time of 2:10.62 seconds, claiming gold by 36 points and becoming the first woman to win three heptathlon titles.

Thiam finished on 6,880 points, with her compatriot Noor Vidts moving above Switzerland's Annik Kaelin in the final event to take bronze.

Team GB's Jade O'Dowda finished 10th overall, while Ireland's Kate O'Connor was 14th.

It's SILVER for Katarina Johnson-Thompson
