Rio 2016 day 12: GB hockey women reach final as Bolt storms into 200m final

Team GB did not manage to add to an impressive haul of 50 Olympic medals on day 12 of their best overseas Games at Rio 2016, but the women's hockey team continued the feel-good factor by guaranteeing themselves at least a silver and reaching their maiden final with a 3-0 win over New Zealand. Danny Kerry's side, bronze medallists at London 2012, will meet the defending champion Netherlands in Friday's showpiece after a brace from Alex Danson and Helen Richardson-Walsh's penalty stroke ensured a comfortable if occasionally brutal victory over the Black Sticks. Women's 470 pair Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark boast an unassailable 20-point lead over New Zealand duo Jo Aleh and Olivia Powrie in the overall standings and only have to finish the rescheduled medal race in order to seal victory.
