Fiji's Olympic athlete Glen Kable will be taking part in the Men's shooting trap qualification this hour.

Leslie Copeland takes part in the Men's Javelin next Thursday.

Jamaican Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce of Jamaica won the 100 meters final in 10.75 seconds.

Meanwhile, the last woman to win the dash twice in a row was Gail Devers of the U.S. in 1992 and 1996.

Defending Olympic champion Usain Bolt eased through to the semifinals of the men's 100m in a time of 10.09 seconds.

He recovered from a slow start to progress, while world champion Yohan Blake ran 10 seconds in his heats to also book his place in the semis.

Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin also looked impressive, Gay winning his heat in 10.08 and Gatlin posting 9.97 seconds.

Michael Phelps won the 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.

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