Good evening and welcome to Sports Mole's live coverage from day three of the athletics at the Olympic Games in London.
It's fair to say that last night's performance from Team GB will live long in the memory of sports fans up and down the country.
The likes of Adam Gemili, Dwain Chambers and Christine Ohuruogu will all be heading out tonight to try to make the next few hours equally as memorable.
However, they could all be overshadowed by the one of the biggest races at the Games - the men's 100m final.
Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake, Asafa Powell, Tyson Gay, Justin Gatlin and Ryan Bailey are all expected to compete for gold in that one.
In total, there are five medals up for grabs before 10pm and we'll have them ALL covered right here.
10.17pmThanks for joining Sports Mole for the action and be sure to join us for the remainder of the Olympic Games. Good night!
10.15pmThat's just about me for tonight. On an evening when Christine Ohuruogu claimed silver in the women's 400m - and THAT man Bolt claimed gold in the men's 100m final.
10.12pmPhew! What an evening at the 2012 Olympics. Does it get any better than this? Just an incredible atmopshere inside the Olympic stadium.
10.10pmResult: Erik Kynard, Robert Grabarz, Jesse Williams and Iva Ukhou are among the qualifiers from the men's high jump.
10.08pmResult: Krisztian Pars claims gold in the men's hammer throw with 80.59m. It's silver for Primoz Pars. Meanwhile, bronze for Koji Murofushi.
10.06pmMeanwhile, Christine Ohuruogu is just about to receive her silver medal. Brilliant effort from the Brit.
10.04pm"Usain is the fastest man in the world, he has motivated me. I have to give thanks to Usain for my silver medal," Blake adds.
10.04pm"Yea, I was happy. I was slightly worried about my start. I sat in the blocks a little bit... the crowd was wonderful," Bolt tells the BBC.
10.04pmSeven of the eight finalists ran under 10 seconds. Just incredible. What a final. Let's do it again!
10.02pmMeanwhile, Darren Campbell adds: "We said if he was anywhere near the field in the first 30m, who would be able to handle him? Those gigantic strides opened up and that was the Usain Bolt show. The greatest show on earth and Usain Bolt has arrived. If we were to be picky it was a terrible start but it doesn't matter, he just needed to be in striking distance. The guys opened up a metre on him but he was close enough, he stayed relaxed, used that stride and it was a fantastic run."
10pmHere's a word from Michael Johnson, former Olympic champion, on the BBC: "Bolt went into this race knowing that he was going to win gold. He was under a bit of pressure but his technique looked better than it has recently. It wasn't a great start but it didn't need to be. Bolt is the best there has ever been there is no doubt about it."
10pm"I gave it my best. I really tried to do it for my family but came up short," Gay tells the BBC.
9.58pmGood grief. Not the best of starts for Bolt, but my word did he finish. Just incredible. Where are the doubters now? He is just the greatest ever.
9.56pm1. Bolt, 2. Blake, 3. Gatlin, 4. Gay, 5. Bailey, 6. Martina, 7. Thompson, 8. Powell.
9.54pmTime of 9.75 for Blake, while Gatlin registered 9.79. It's a new Olympic record for Bolt. What an incredible race.

9.04pmMeanwhile, the BBC are showing shots of Bolt and Blake joking ahead of tonight's 100m final. So relaxed. Incredible.

8.14pmIt is still Bolt for me, although my colleague Liam Apicella assures me that it's Blake's to lose.
8.12pmWhat did we make of the semi-final heats of the 100m? Is it between Blake and Bolt? Or will Gatlin sneak in to take it?
8.10pmMeanwhile, here's a word from Darren Campbell, double olympic medallist, on the BBC: "It was his first Olympic Games, he has been in the sport for about a year. The good thing is because he has been in football he is trained to do what he is told. All successfull sports people are quick learners. For him to make it into the semi-finals was great. What I like about Adam is that he never crumbles. He showed that in the trials and he showed that here," he said of Adam Gemili.
8.08pmMeanwhile, the stadium erupts as Mo Farah is presented with his gold medal for the men's 10,000m. Fantastic.

7.29pmVery strong performance for the 22-year-old as she finishes with a time of 54.31. She really is one to look out for in the latter stages.
7.27pmNew personal best for Georganne Moline as she finishes first. Meanwhile, Nickiesha Wilson, Irina Davydova and Elodie Ouedraogo join her in the semi-finals.
7.25pmIt's a red for Karadere! She will take no further part in the Olympics. She looks devastated - as you would be.
7.24pmFalse start from Nagihan Karadere in heat four. She went so early!
7.22pmJust about 21 minutes until the semi-finals of the men's 100m. Meanwhile, heat four in the women's hurdles is upon us.
7.20pmJust an update from the men's high jump with the current height at 2.16. However, Brit Robert Grabarz is yet to jump.
7.18pmExtremely impressive from Demus as she storms into the semi-finals. She was miles too strong for that group.
7.16pmHeat three of the women's 400m hurdles sees Lashinda Demus win it with ease, while she is joined by Hanna Titimets, Vera Barbosa and Elena Churakova.
7.13pmJust a reminder that qualification for the men's high jump is also underway.
7.12pmMeanwhile, heat three in the hurdles is upon us...
7.11pmThe BBC have just shown some shots of Blake ahead of the 100m semi-finals. He just looks so relaxed - like he is down the park with his mates.
7.10pmNo place in the next round for Lauren Boden, while Noraseela Mohd Khalid finished in ninth spot.
7.08pmHeat two sees Natalya Antyukh, Kaliese Spencer, Muizat Ajoke Odumosu and Anna Jesien book their spot in the semi-finals. Really impressive run from Antyukh.

6.58pmFormer United States sprinter Michael Johnson tells the BBC that he fancies Bolt to secure gold this evening. However, he has insisted that the current champion's semi-final heat is the toughest.
6.56pmSo, we are just about five minutes away from round one in the women's 400m hurdles. It looks wonderful inside the Olympic Stadium this evening.
6.54pmLooking back to earlier for a moment. It was Tiki Gelana of Ethopia who claimed the gold in the women's marathon. Meanwhile, Priscah Jeptoo of Kenya took silver and Tatyana Petrova Arkhipova took bronze.
6.52pmMoving away from Athletics for a moment - and it's silver for Andy Murray and Laura Robson in the tennis as they are defeated by Victoria Azarenka and Max Mirnyi in the mixed doubles.
6.50pmMy heart says Bolt. But in Olympic competition you just never know. If Bolt is at his best, he wins every single race he runs. But is he at his best? He cannot afford to be slow out of the blocks this evening.
6.48pmLast up this evening at 9.50pm is THAT race. The men's 100m final. We do not know the line up as of yet, but surely it will be as thought. Our very own Liam Apicella previews his thoughts on the final here.
6.46pmThe final of men's 3000m steeplechase takes place at 9.25pm, with Kenyan Brimin Kiprop Kipruto the man to beat.
6.44pmChristine Ohuruogo carries the British interest in the women's 400m final at 9.10pm. However, she will surely have to run a personal best to claim a medal.
6.42pmThe semi-finals of the men's 400m will take place at 8.40pm - with Conrad Williams, Nigel Levine and Martyn Rooney the three British athletes in the running.
6.40pmThe final of the men's hammer throw is next up at 8.20pm, with Alexander Smith among the 12 athletes that will compete.
6.38pmNext up is the semi-finals of the men's 1500m at 8.15pm, with the British interest coming from Ross Murray and Andrew Baddeley.
6.36pmThe semi-finals of the men's 100m will get underway at 7.45pm. Great Britain has one athlete in each of the three heats, but all three will almost certainly have to run personal bests to advance. Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake should also advance - although it may be close. Not.
6.34pmThe final of the women's triple jump will begin at 7.35pm - with 39-year-old Yamile Aldama representing Great Britain.
6.34pmMeanwhile, qualification for the men's high jump will begin at 7.05pm - although there is not a Team GB member in sight.
6.32pmFirst up we have the first round of the women's 400m hurdles - which will get underway in just about 30 minutes time.
6.30pmHello all! What an evening we have ahead of us. The Olympics are reaching their latter stages, but not before what could be a record-breaking evening in London.
