Lynsey looking sharp enough to claim a medal

Could Lynsey Sharp win a medal behind Caster Semenya in possibly the most controversial event in an already controversial Olympic Games?

Britain’s charge up the medal table at the Rio Games has been only modestly helped in the athletics stadium, where the Super Saturday heroes of 2012 delivered again, aided by hammertrix Sophie Hinchon.

But going into the final day of events in the Estadio Olimpico, Britain’s athletics medal tally is stuck on one gold, one silver and two bronze.
