Lamecha Girma suffers horror fall during steeplechase

World record holder Lamecha Girma suffered a horror fall during the men's 3000m steeplechase.

The Ethiopian, 23, was near the front of the pack on the last lap when he clattered into one of the final hurdles and hit the track hard.

He was attended to by medics and carried off the track.

Boxing - women's 57kg semi-final

Lin Yu Ting wins 5-0 after the judges' scorecard.

After the first round, it really makes you wonder what these judges are seeing.

Yilmaz was the more active boxer and landed what would be scoring punches in a normal bout.

For Yin to win so comfortably, without a single point to Yilmaz, it really is baffling.

Lin Yu Ting boxed on the counter and while she landed good punches, her opponent was the far more active through the entire fight.

There, it was more of the same with Lin’s technique and movement just too much for the Turk to handle. 

So there was absolutely no doubt of the result as Lin breezed to her third successive unanimous points victory.

Easy stuff for Lin.

Lin received a warm reception as she made her ring walk with a host of empty seats inside Court Philippe-Chatrier - a vastly different atmosphere from the raucous scenes for Khelif.

And the action inside the ropes was far different, too.

Lin certainly did not have things all her own way in a low-quality opening round which saw Lin thrown to the floor by a Yildiz headlock.

Surprisingly, the five judges all gave round one to Lin before the pair exchanged some big hits in the second, seemingly willing to forego any sense of defence to throw as many punches as possible.

Lin blatantly struck her opponent on the back of the head and was rightly given a stern warning by the referee, as the Parisian crowd whistled and jeered, but again the five judges sided with the Taiwanese fighter to be in complete control going into the final round. 

Lin Yu Ting vs Esra Yildiz Kahraman (Round 3)

Yildiz continues to work the harder of the two boxers.

Lin continues to counter and catch her with big straight jabs.

It is going to take a massive end to this round by Yildiz to take this fight.

As she comes forward, Yin continues to get her to walk into punches.

It is all over, it will go to the judges' card.

Lin Yu Ting vs Esra Yildiz Kahraman (Round 2)

The fight really opens up in the first 30 seconds of the round.

Yildiz lands a series of punches before Lin swings some wild shots and connects with a couple.

After the judges scored the first round unanimously to Lin, Yildiz has to take the fight to her now.

How they scored that first round like that is nothing short of mind-bending.

That was a good round for Yildiz, surely she had to edge that one.

Lin Yu Ting vs Esra Yildiz Kahraman (Round 1)

Lin has the height advantage and with that comes a reach advantage.

She is looking to utilise that with the jab early on.

Yildiz is looking to get inside to work the shots from close range.

Whenever she tries this, Lin looks to pull her into the clinch.

We have seen more holding in the boxing in these Olympics than the entire film 'Dirty Dancing'.

Lin Yu Ting vs Esra Yildiz Kahraman

Next we have a semi-final in the women's 57kg division.

Lin Yu Ting has been somewhat of a talking point in these Olympics, now she has the chance of booking her place in the final.

Not that her opponent will be looking to allow her make that a reality.

Another night, another card of Olympic boxing.

Will we see Lin Yu-ting book her spot in the 57kg featherweight gold medal final?

They will step into the ring in just ten minutes...
