prepare myself for this race. but for me a big motivation is to do my best. mary moraa of kenya won gold in the final of the women's 800 metres. morra moved in to top gear in the last hundred metres.

dutch grand prix today, with the wet weather disrupting the race and causing a few crashes, but max verstappen emerged victorious in front of his home fans another step closer to a third world title in a row with a winning run that stretches back to early may, as zhou lynskey reports. one man in f1 has victory on repeat. this is max verstappen�*s ninth win in a row that equals the sport's record. this time at home at the dutch grand prix he'd have to go through all conditions. they'd raced forjust a lap when the first downpour came that brought caution on the track and chaos in the pits. the lead changed hands, but verstappen found a way back to the front. some had less luck through the puddles. you 0k? no i crashed. with this luke sargeant had to sit it out. the rest would brace for another storm. this time, the rain took even more off the track. and a red flag stopped the race. the dutch crowd kept moving and soon their star was back on track. out in front on the restart, out in front at the flag. so today they didn't make it easy for us, i think with the weather to make all the time the right calls. but yeah, incredibly proud. i mean, i really had goose bumps when they were playing the national anthem before the start nd, you know, even with all the bad weather, the rain, the fans are still going at it. so an incredible atmosphere. the nine race record has stood for a decade. next week in italy verstappen goes for history. we've had a dramatic day in the premier league. ten man liverpool were heading for defeat at newcastle before darwin nunez came off the bench

minute, scored the equaliser in the 81st minute before scoring an almost identical second in stoppage time. an extraordinary turnaround for liverpool. the second time in a row we did not fall apart. so that helps to get closer together to create a mentality. again would have loved to play the game with another man but lisa got the chance to do something really special. fix, the chance to do something really special.— the chance to do something really special. a tough one to take in similar _ really special. a tough one to take in similar emotions - really special. a tough one to take in

months lyle foster gave burnley hope with a goal two minutes after half—time but moussa diaby�*s second goal of the season ensured villa seccured the win vincent kompany�*s burnley are yet to register a point this season after two home defeats. we were expecting a lot and we were playing in that tie to control the game, and we want to be competitive in a way because the first man we played was very, very bad match, but today i think we reacted at home against everton well and truly as well. and we felt, being competitive offensively and defensively trying to play our style but overall, i'm very happy because we were focused minutes a minute. in spain, barcelona came from behind to secure a 4—3 win at villarreal. last year's la liga top scorer robert lewandowski scoring the late winner.

successfully defending her french open title and a career—best performance at wimbledon. she knows her way around the grand slams. i try to take everything step—by—step and go forward with my thoughts and think that i need to do something more, because last year i won. so, remembering that this is a totally different chapter always helps, but i also want to kind of take a lesson from last year and i learned a lot during the us open. this was probably the most important tournament in terms of me believing in myself. denmark's andreas kron secured an emotional win on a weather—affected stage two of the vuelta a espana. heavy rain meant the general classification times were taken nine kilometres from the finish in barcelona. at that point, andrea piccolo was narrowly ahead of astana's javier

from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. usa finishing top of the metal table, but fantastic performances on the final day. for me and the rest of the team goodbye for now. hello there. you know, over the weekend, i've seen quite a lot of these. funnel clouds. the latest one was spotted between boroughbridge and harrogate, around the north yorkshire area, but i've seen quite a few over the weekend. that particular one formed along this convergence line — that's where the winds bash together — and those opposing winds would've helped create some of the spin that created that funnel cloud in the first place. right now, though, those showers have long since cleared out of the way. we do have just a few patches of rain working from west to east, but many of us will have a dry start to the day on monday, with temperatures holding up into double figures. overall, the bank holiday monday that it'll be for many of you is a better, drier kind of day — the reason, well, we've got this little weak ridge of high pressure building in. now it won't be completely dry, there'll be just a few isolated showers around, but nowhere near as many as we've had over the course of the weekend. and probably the greatest risk of seeing an odd shower will be across the northwest of both england and wales. the emphasis, though, is on drier weather with spells of sunshine. temperatures, high teens to low 20s, feeling warm in that august sunshine. and again, into tuesday, another area of low pressure starts to move in from the north. and so, we will get outbreaks of rain moving its way into scotland. just a few patches of rain — showers, really — on this weather front, this cold front, as it works southwards across england and wales. but many of you will still have some spells of sunshine around, as well. and overall, the temperature is similarfor most, about 18—22 celsius — warm in the sun, but starting to feel perhaps a little bit cooler across the north of scotland. well, from tuesday into wednesday, that same area of low pressure works into the north sea whilst weakening. and really, we're looking at a day of sunny spells and showers again — this time, probably the heaviest showers, big thunderstorms affecting northern and eastern scotland, and down this eastern side of england. again, there'll be some convergent winds, so who knows? you might see another funnel cloud if you're lucky. western areas should stay dry with some sunshine for wales, southwest england, probably bright for northern ireland, as well. that won't last, though. thursday and friday, another area of low pressure moving in — this time, the rain will to be affecting areas a bit further southward. so, particularly for wales, southwest england, and northern ireland, we've got a spell of rain to come through. that clears, and then, we're back to rather showery conditions as we head off into september. bye— bye. welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore. i'm mariko 0i. the headlines: russian investigators say genetic testing confirms wagner leader yevgeny prigozhin was killed
