Women’s golf: New Zealand’s Lydia Ko is on a charge on the final day! She was five shots off the lead overnight but is three-under for the day through four holes ... and is now three shots off the leader, USA’s Nelly Korda. Three women are tied for third: India’s Aditi Ashok, Japan’s Inami Mone and Denmark’s Emily Pedersen. There were some great photos from the men’s super-heavyweight wrestling final last night in Tokyo. Gable Steveson won in the final seconds and the look of disbelief on his face – and that of his opponent, three-time world champion Geno Petriashvili – are amazing. You can tell just how shocked Steveson was from his quotes just after he won gold: “You saw that? Oh my God, wow. No way, ain’t no way,” Steveson said in disbelief. “I’m speechless, I’ve never done it before but today was the day. Damn! In those last few seconds, I knew I could fire it up, I tricked him and he bought it. I looked at the clock at it was 0.3 [seconds] left... It was the match of the century.” Team USA gold medal winners take home $37,500. And how will he spend it? “I’ll probably go take my family out to eat,” Steveson said. “We all got to eat steaks back at home. Probably buy my mom a Louis Vuitton purse. She deserves it.” Women’s golf: It’s the only event going on so far (things elsewhere start to crank up in around 20 minutes). The overnight leader, USA’s Nelly Korda, is still the leader. She -1 for the round through three holes and has a nice four-shot cushion over India’s Aditi Ashok and New Zealand’s Lydia Ko who share second at the moment on -12. And now on to Team USA! USA! USA! Plenty of medals up for grabs for them on Day 15. Here are a few highlights: 10.30pm EDT: men’s basketball final After stumbling in warm-up games before heading to Tokyo and also in the first matchup of the group stage of the tournament, the US men’s hoops team looks to be back on track. They’re undefeated in their past four Olympic games and have won those contests by an average of 35.5 points. Now, they’re set to face France, the talented squad that topped them in their first game in Tokyo, in the final, and the US will need to have learned from its mistakes. That said, France has won by slimmer margins en route to the gold medal match, and the US is gelling with their full roster finally accustomed to playing together, so odds favor the Americans. 3.30am EDT: women’s water polo final Water polo may be the most grueling sport at the Olympics – though the 50k race-walk seems pretty brutal – and the US women are playing against Spain for gold. Women’s water polo debuted at the 2000 Games, and since then, Team USA has played in all but one final, and they’ve won the past two gold medals, topping Spain in 2012 and Italy in ‘16. They’re heavily favored in Tokyo and have won every major international tournament they’ve competed in since 2014, but they did suffer a loss to Hungary in group play, their first Olympic defeat since 2008. 6.35am EDT: women’s high jump final Vashti Cunningham, the daughter of former NFL quarterback Randall Cunningham, was the lone US woman to make the high jump final, and she has a strong chance to medal. Cunningham, 23, has already won national championships and a world indoor title; in 2019, at the most recent world championship, she finished third in the high jump. 7.40am EDT: men’s 1500m final Cole Hocker represents one of the final two chances for the US men’s track team to take an individual gold in Tokyo – and he has long odds to do so. Hocker, 20, is competing in his first Olympics, and he won the 1500 at the NCAA championship this spring. At the Olympic trials, he edged reigning gold medalist Matthew Centrowitz, who made the team but failed to reach the final. 6am EDT: men’s baseball final Baseball, which was back on the Olympic schedule this year for the first time since 2008, won’t be returning to the in Paris in 2024, so Saturday’s action will mark a kind of ending, or pause – and there’s no better matchup to finish on than Team USA vs. Japan. The US hasn’t won gold since 2000, and Japan never has, but the two teams have been dominant thus far in Tokyo. They’ve already matched up once, on Monday, when Japan won 7-6 in extra innings, and if Saturday’s game is even almost that exciting, it’ll be one to remember. There are a host of medal chances for Australia on the penultimate day of action. Nicola McDermott and Eleanor Patterson leap for high jump gold while Oliver Hoare and Stewart McSweyn are in the 1,500m final and the Boomers seek to win bronze against Slovenia. Here is your full rundown: Want some lovely photos featuring athletes’ reflections (literal rather than philosophical)? Then here you go: Women’s marathon: The Olympic marathon is supposed to be the ultimate test but that’s usually just because of the competition. The heat has been half the battle today. Kenya’s Peres Jepchirchir streaks ahead to take gold, her teammate Brigid Kosgei, the world record holder, hangs on for silver. And it’s a brilliant bronze for USA’s Molly Seidel in just her third-ever marathon – she screams in delight as she crosses the line. If I don’t win an Olympic medal in my third marathon, I’m not going to be happy. The winning time is 2hr 27min 20 sec. Women’s marathon: Brigid Kosgei has a personal best (and world record) of 2hr 14min. She won’t get anywhere near that today in this sweltering heat and she may not get the gold either: Peres Jepchirchir has dropped her Kenyan teammate! Kosgei looks uncomfortable now. She should still get silver but a lot can happen in the 1km or so to go. Women’s marathon: Kenya’s Kosgei and Jepchirchir glance back as the runners go under some blessed shade in the campus of Hokkaido University. They’d have seen USA’s Seidel sliding into the distance. It’s between the two Kenyans for silver and gold now. About 1.6 miles to go. Women’s marathon: And a big break! Kenya’s Kosgei and Jepchirchir have got ahead of the field. USA’s Seidel is maybe 10 seconds back in bronze, while Israel’s Salpeter has slowed to a walk. If her race isn’t over, her medal chances are. Two miles to go. Women’s marathon: The temperature continues to climb in Sapporo as the morning wears on. The athletes are seeking the shady side of the road whenever they can. USA’s Molly Seidel is starting to fall of the leading pack now. Her inexperience may be coming into play now ... Women’s marathon: Yep, Chumba is definitely dropping off the leading pack so we now have USA’s Seidel, Kenya’s Kosgei and Jepchirchir, and Israel’s Salpeter in the medal hunt. This is only Seidel’s third-ever marathon and she look pretty comfortable as the athletes grab drinks from the feeding station. Women’s marathon: Just over four miles to go and the leading pack is down Bahrain’s Chumba, USA’s Seidel, Kenya’s Kosgei and Jepchirchir, and Israel’s Salpeter. But Chumba is starting to drift off. One of these women will be the Olympic champion. Preamble So, the end is nigh – and I’m not just talking about the collapse of the Gulf Stream. Yep, the Olympics are nearing their end – as is the women’s marathon as the athletes pound the streets of Sapporo (we’ve moved north to avoid the Tokyo heat. Although it’s hot in Sapporo too). We’ll have much more on the big race soon, but in the meantime here is my colleague Martin Belam with the Day 15 highlights. All events are listed here in local Tokyo time.
