Live updates
What a dramatic finish to the event - how do you top that?
Join us tomorrow, when we'll try...
12:39am - Athletics: Tamberi misses, so we have a jump-off for the gold medal.
NO WAIT, they've decided to share the gold medal. That's incredible, what drama!
12:38am - Athletics: Nedasekau misses a third time, but he will take the bronze medal.
12:36am - Athletics: Harrison is finally out and will now concentrate on tomorrow's long jump final. Three jumpers left, but Barshim misses again.
12:33am - Athletics: Starc is also out and Tamberi misses a second time.
12:28am - Athletics: Woo misses and goes out, but he's become a fan favourite with his 2.35m clearance and enthusiasm. Nedasekau has missed again, Starc and Tamberi to come...
12:24am - Athletics: Barshim misses again, his run-up seems to have deserted him and he's taking off too far out.
12:19am - Athletics: No-one has cleared 2.39m yet, with some of these jumpers passing at 2.37m in a bid for medals. Tamberi can take the lead here... he also misses.
12:14am - Athletics: Barshim has his first miss of the competition.
12:08am - Athletics: Tamberi is over too, so he's still in the hunt.
12:03am - Athletics: Akimenko's gamble doesn't pay off and he's out with a clearance of 2.33m
11:58pm - Athletics: Barshim clears first time again. Nedasekau, who passed his last two attempts at 2.35m, has succeeded at 2.37m, so great tactical move.
11:56pm - Athletics: The bar has gone to 2.37m, with the other jumpers passing at 2.35m, They've figured out they'll need to clear the next height for a medal, so they're bluffing they'll be able to clear that - mind games.
11:52pm - Athletics: Tamberi is over too, but trails Barshim because he took the opening height, while Barshim passed.
11:50pm - Athletics: Woo is over again - a huge PB. So is Starc.
11:46pm - Athletics: Barshim is over 2.35m on his first attempt.
11:42pm - Athletics: Kerr is up now... and he's out too. Good performance to get this far and 2.30m is a great clearance. He'll finish 10th.
Next height is 2.35m.
11:41pm - Athletics: Ivanyuk is out of the compeition, the demise of the world No.1. Starc soars over.
11:39pm - Athletics: Still only five over 2.33m, with Harrison to come... he's over too, that's ridiculous!
11:38pm - Athletics: After waiting for an 800m race to pass, Kerr also rattes the bar off and will have another go.
11:36pm - Athletics: Starc rattles the bar off and will need a third attempt.
11:34pm - Athletics: Woo is also over a new personal best height at 2.33m.
11:32pm - Athletics: Ivanyuk misses a second time, but Akimenko is over.
11:31pm - Athletics: So far, Barshim and Nedasekau are the only jumpers to clear 2.33m so far, but Tamberi joins them. The medallists are perhaps starting to sort themselves out.
11:28pm - Athletics: Good attempt by Kerr, but he takes the bar off.
11:27pm - Athletics: Woo fails, Starc follows, Kerr is next...
11:24pm - Athletics: Ivanyuk tips the bar off with his hamstrings, but Nedasekau is over again.
11:21pm - Athletics: The bar goes to 2.33m, which would be Kerr's personal beat. Barshim is well over first time.
11:20pm - Athletics: Here comes Kerr... and he's over 2.30m. He lives to jump again!
11:18pm - Athletics: Gale has missed his third attempt and will leave the competition. McEwen follows...
11:17pm - Athletics: Harrison grazes the bar with his calf, but leaves it on this time. He's a talent!
11:13pm - Athletics: Kerr is so close, but grazes it off again with his butt. He'll need another third attempt.
Harrison will step off the runway, while a medal ceremony takes place in the background. In fact, it's the women's shotput ceremony, with Dame Val Adams featuring.
11:11pm - Athletics: Akimenko is also over 2.30m on his second attempt. McEwen takes the bar off, here comes Kerr...
11:07pm - Athletics: Harrison slithers over the bar, but tips it off with his heel. Six have cleared 2.30m first time, so six others will take their second - Ivanyuk is over this time.
11:04pm - Athletics: Starc is over and Kerr is next... he clips it with his butt on the way down.
11:02pm - Athletics: Korean Woo is well over his personal best height, but he's only the third to succeed so far, with Starc on the runway.
11pm - Athletics: A couple of others are starting to struggle now, as Gale, McEwen and Akimenko follow Ivanyuk as missers.
10:57pm - Athletics: Barshim is over easily, but Ivanyuk has his first miss. Ndasekau, who missed his first attempt at 2.19m, clears this first time.
10:55pm - Athletics: So only one has fallen at 2.27m, as we head to 2.30m.
10:54pm - Athletics: Harrison is over too - he looks rough, but tremendsouly explosive. He's also in the long jump final tomorrow.
10:53pm - Athletics: Tobe misses his third... but Kerr soars over. Great jump!
10:52pm - Athletics: Harrison misses too, so all three will take one more attempt.
10:50pm - Athletics: Tobe misses again, Kerr is next... but he'll need a third attempt.
10:49pm - Athletics: Three jumpers have missed their first attempts at 2.27m - Kerr is one, along with American Harrison and Japanese Tobe.
10:45pm - Athletics: Starc jumps flat, but high enough to clear, grazing the bar on the way over. Kerr knocks the bar off and doesn't look on his game tonight.
10:41pm - Athletics: Tobe is the only jumper to miss so far, five have cleared. Mc Ewen makes no mistake this time.
10:37pm - Athletics: This height will start to sort out the stragglers of this field and Barshim is not one of them, although he takes off a little far out and grazes it on the way over.
10:35pm - Athletics: McEwen is well over on his last attempt - he lives to attempt the next height of 2.27m.
10:33pm - Athletics: American McEwen is the only jumper to miss at this height, here comes his second attempt - he takes it off with his heels. One more attempt.
10:30pm - Athletics: Kerr is over safely, but looked lazy.
10:29pm - Athletics: American McEwen becomes the first to miss 2.24m, but will have two more attempts.
Aussie Brandon Starc - the jumper in front of Kerr - is way over.
10:26pm - Athletics: Tobe is far more convincing at this height, so we have four jumpers over so far.
10:23pm - Athletics: Barshim will come in here and cruises over 2.24m. Ivanyuk of ROC is also over.
Just to recap, jumpers can take as many jumps as they need, but can not have three consecutive misses - whether that's at one height or different heights.
10:21pm - Athletics: Nedasekau clears easily and Tobe rattles the bar, but is over. The bar goes to 2.24m now.
10:19pm - Athletics: Ten of the 13 athletes have cleared 2.19m at their first attempt - Barshim has passed, and Nedasekau and Tobe must take further attempts.
10:15pm - Athletics: Barshim - the best jumper in this field - has passed at 2.19m. Australia Starc has cleared, as has five others... and Kerr has cleared too.
10:14pm - Athletics: First jumpers will open their accounts at 2.19m, which they all cleared to qualify for the final. Nedasekau of Belarus and Tobe of Japan have missed their first attempts.
10:11pm - Athletics: New Zealand has already had a great day at the track, with Julia Ratcliffe qualifying for the women's hammer final and, of course, Dame Val Adams winning a fourth Olympic medal, with bronze in the shotput.
10:02pm - Athletics: Welcome back to our live coverage, where Hamish Kerr is about to contest the men's high jump final at the Tokyo Olympic Stadium.
Kerr qualified for the medal rounds two days ago, when he cleared 2.28m on his first attempt, and will come into the competition with a best height of 2.31m. Twelve other jumpers have reached this stage - eight have jumped higher this season.
7:19pm - Sailing: Awesome result for Finn sailor Josh Junior. The Kiwi has won Race 10 - the final race before the 10 boat final - leaving him in fourth spot overall.
Heading into Tuesday evening's double-points medal race, Junior sits eight points off bronze and 10 points off silver. The gold medal is all-but wrapped up by Brit Giles Scott.

5:24pm - Sailing: The men's 470 crew have recorded an 8th place finish in Race 8. Snow-Hansen and Willcox started the day in third spot, but have slipped to fifth. They are five-points outside the medal spots.
5:18pm - Sailing: The Nacra 17 crew of Wilkinson and Dawson have finished 14th in the final race of the regatta for a 12th place finish overall.
4:49pm - Golf: Kiwi Ryan Fox had a great day today. He shot a seven-under 64 for the second best round so far. Fox finishes the tournament at five-under in a tie for 41st at this stage.
American Xander Schauffele leads at -18 - two shots up on Slovakian Rory Sabbatini midway through their rounds.
4:31pm - Sailing: The Nacra 17 crew have recorded their equal best result of the regatta in Race 11. Wilkinson and Dawson remain 12th overall with the final race - then the medal race - to come.
4:01pm Sailing: Paul Snow-Hansen and Dan Willcox in the men's 470 have finished 13th in Race 7 - that drops the Kiwi crew out of the medal spots. They are in 5th spot with three races and the medal race to go. But they are just three points back from the silver medal spot though so it's all on.
3:39pm - Sailing: The Nacra 17 crew of Micah Wilkinson and Erica dawson have finished 18th in Race 9. The Kiwi team is 12th and out of the medal hunt.
3:12pm - Dame Valerie Adams is as emotional as she has ever been post her bronze performance. Says this is the highlight of her career.
"This means so much more to me than winning my two gold medals," Adams tells Sky Sport.
"I have worked so hard to be here to win a medal for my family, for myself and for New Zealand.
"My two children have inspired me to this moment - I kept looking into the stands and imagined they were up there.
"I want to inspire woman that you can go away and have children, but then comeback and compete with the very best in the world.
"I can't explain why this means more to me - it just does."
2:48pm - Amazing from Dame Val - a fourth Olympic medal - just magnificent from one of the greatest Olympians New Zealand has ever produced.
Shotput final - New Zealand's Dame Valerie Adams & Maddison-Lee Wesche
Final result
3rd - Dame Valerie Adams
6th - Maddison Lee-Wesche

2:25pm - Shotput final: Foul for Dame Val with her fourth throw - she wasn't happy with that and stepped out of the circle. The Kiwi remains in the bronze medal spot.
2:23pm - Hammer Throw: Lauren Bruce is out of the women's event. Her 67.71 not enough to advance to the final, but fellow Kiwi Julia Ratcliffe will quailify for the final in two days time.
2:22pm - Shotput final: Wesche steps up and throws 18.18 - she stays in 6th spot with two throws to go.

Dame Val currently on the podium with a best attempt of 19.62m.
2:12pm
Germany's Gambetta knocks Wesche down to ninth. She needs a PB to advance to the next round.

Clutch throw from the youngster.
2:10pm
Lauren Bruce currently 10th in Group B of the hammer throw qualifying. A berth in the final looking unlikely.
2:09pm

Three attempts to come after the first round of eliminations, with the top eight to advance.
2:01pm
Saunders up for her third, sporting the two-tone buzzcut. 19.62m, she remains in second behind China's Gong.
1:58pm
Wesche into the circle. 18.42m, that'll lift her into eighth and in line to progress through to the next round of three attempts.

The op eight for the first three attempts advance to throw three more times each.
1:50pm

Dame Val sits fourth, Wesche in 11th.

1:44pm
China's Song hurls an 18.11m. Dame Val still sitting fourth with five throwers left on their first attempt.
1:42pm
US' Jessica Ramsey, another favourite, starts with a whimper. No throw, she's wide left.
1:41pm
China's Gao Yang shows why she's one of the favourites - 19.95m and straight to the top of the table.
1:38pm
Here comes Dame Val, attempt one.
She doesn't look too pleased with that effort - 18.62 it is. One metre behind early leader Saunders.
1:37pm
Raven Saunders sets the tone with a throw of 19.65. Mean mugging early, puts the pressure on her rivals immediately.
1:32pm
The women begin to make their entrances, introduced individually. American Raven Saunders comes out with 'Hitman Hart' shades flexing like a WWE hopeful. Early W.
Quiet kisses blown to the crowd by Dame Val, who looks focused and composed.
Wesche sports a big smile, opts for the double-hand wave. A classic.
1:25pm
Conditions are sweltering on the Tokyo Stadium field, the throwing circle sitting right in the thick of the sunshine.
Temperatures inside the stadium are flirting with 40 degrees. Challenging, to say the least.
1:20pm
"None of them felt like I really hooked one," says NZ hammer thrower Julia Ratcliffe, referring to her solid effort in Group A of the qualifiers.

12:53pm - Equestrian
Rough outing on the saddle for Jesse Campbell, who's stung a 14-second time penalty, dropping the NZ team down to fourth.
12:50pm - Athletics
Final attempt of the day for Ratcliffe, drags that one to the right for 70.87m.
She still sits in fourth place and within that all important top 12.
12:46pm - Athletics
Ratcliffe has slipped to fourth in the hammer qualifying. Still well within the top 12 qualifying range with one attempt remaining, but we do have another group to follow this, which includes our own Lauren Bruce.
12:45pm - Equestrian
So far, so good for Campbell. Yet to concede a penalty.
12:36pm - Athletics

Still sitting pretty in second place, however.
12:33pm - Equestrian
NZ's Jesse Campbell is about to begin his cross-country run.
12:17pm - Athletics
Great start for the Kiwi Ratcliffe, who lets one rip to the tune of 73.20m - just 30cm short of the automatic qualifying mark.
Nevertheless, that should be enough to clinch her a berth in the final as a top 12 finisher.
She's currenmtly second behind defending Olympic champion Anita Wlodarczyk, who made a statement with a monster throw of 76.99.
The final is scheduled for Tuesday at 11:30pm.

Italy's Fantini steps up and sends one clear over the 70m mark. Poland up next, then the Kiwi Ratcliffe.

Price gets the NZ team off to a tidy start, into third position they go.
Next Kiwi up is Jesse Campbell at 12:30pm.

11:28am - Equestrian
No time penalties conceded as yet for Price, who's riding Grovine De Reve.
11:24am - Equestrian
Here comes Kiwi Jonelle Price, steady start here. Clears and into the water, sharp turn and away crisply.
11:03am
Some unfortunate news to start the day, with Kiwi weightlifter Megan Signal forced to withdraw from her Olympics debut in the women's 76kg later this afternoon due to a shoulder injury.
Another brutal blow for the Auckland-based Signal, who suffered a similar fate at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.
11am
Morena, sports fans! We've hit the midway mark in Tokyo, as we get set for a big Sunday of action.
We'll kick off proceedings in the eventing, with Jonelle Price preparing to hit the cross-country at 11:21am.
***
Kia ora, good morning and welcome to Newshub's live updates of the Tokyo Olympics, where New Zealand's big medal hopes today probably lie with Dame Val Adams in the women's shotput.
But first up, the equestrian eventing team take on the second of their three disciplines - the gruelling cross-country at the Sea Forest course.
After the dressage stage, Tim Price sits in fifth place, with Jesse Campbell 15th and Jonelle Price 17th, while the NZ team are third behind Great Britain and Germany.
Traditionally, cross-country is where our horses excel, but one slip can spell the end of their competition and medal chances.
Hammer throwers Julia Ratcliffe and Lauren Bruce face qualifying at the athletics track, where Dame Val and Madde Wesche contest the shotput final, and Hamish Kerr the high jump tonight.
Laser sailor Sam Meech has made the medal race of his class, but is probably too far back to challenge for the podium. Still, the medal race counts for double points, so anything is possible.

Burling, Tuke take control of Olympic 49ers, gold theirs to lose (again)
Kiwi yachties haven't found the Tokyo Olympics plain sailing, but Peter Burling and Blair Tuke have finally seized control of the 49er class, entering the final double-point medal race on top of thier classification.
The defending champions began their campaign with a wobbly 12th, raising doubts over how they might handle shifty conditions off the Japanese coast over the week.
But that's as bad as it got for the America's Cup heroes, who finally moved into a clear lead on Saturday, moving away from their nearest rivals - Brits Dylan Fletcher and Stuart Bithell, and Spaniards Diego Botin le Chever and Iago Lopez Marra.
All three crews entered the day tied on points, but with the Kiwis ahead on countback. Fifth, second and 11th over their final three races were enough to build a four-point buffer into Monday's decider, where they can now cover their opponents for victory.
"We were definitely a little frustrated with that last race, but we still gained four points on everyone around us today," says Burling. "It's a massive honour putting on that gold bib for the first time going into that medal race.
"It definitely feels like a few things haven't rolled our way this week, but we have been battling back and getting ourselves in the hunt. It's been a really fun battle this week and we're just excited to round it out with one more good race."
The pair have a rest day on Sunday, before their final outing the following day.
Meanwhile, fellow Team NZ sailor Josh Junior has also continued his move up the Finn fleet, making the biggest ground to sit in fifth with two more races and the medal event to come.
"It was really important for me to get some good results today," he says. "I haven't had many of them, so I needed to start racking them up and try to go into the medal race with a chance of winning a medal.
"I was trying to be a bit more proactive, and really make clear decisions and take the opportunities I have. I think I got lucky a couple of times today, but sometimes that happens."
Laser sailor Sam Meech enters Sunday's medal race in eighth, with an outside chance of grabbing a medal - but he would need to win and hope others struggle in the conditions.
