This morning Jamaican Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce defended her 100 meters title winning in a time of in 10.75 seconds.

Another big highlight was Michael Phelps who won his 18th and final Olympic gold medal of his career with a win in the 4x100m medley relay, before heading into retirement.

The 27 year old swam the third butterfly leg at London's Aquatics Centre to help the United States past Japan in three minutes 29.35 seconds.

Phelps ends his career with 22 medals in total, 18 of them gold, from four Olympic Games.

Meanwhile, Netherlands became the first team to book their place in the semifinals of the women's Hockey competition.

Looking at the medal tally, USA is now leading with 26 gold, 13 silver and 15 bronze, China is second with 25 gold, 16 silver, 12 bronze while Great Britain is third with 14 gold, 7 silver and 8 bronze.
