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

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 in 2:10.62 seconds, claiming gold by 36 points and becoming the first woman to win three heptathlon titles.

Thiam scored 6,880 points across all seven events, with her compatriot Noor Vidts moving above Switzerland's Annik Kaelin in the 800m 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
