The Russian pairing have stormed into a one set lead in the beach volleyball as they secured the opener 21-12. They look in control of this one and it'll take a real effort for the Venezuelan duo to pull it back!!
It's not so cushy in the football where South Korea hold the narrowest of leads over Peru. The goal came from midfielder Wooyeong Jeong but the Peruvians are pushing hard for the equaliser...
21:01 It's hotting up now in the hockey! Australia looked home and dry, sitting 3-1 up in the final period, however, the Canadians hit back with two quick fire goals within the last five minutes to send this to a shootout! Great stuff!

16:15 We're underway in the mixed international team diving competition over at the Olympic Sports Centre Natatorium.
This competition sees two divers - one male, one female - from different nations paired together via a draw. The two divers must complete three dives each with at least one of the dives from each board - the springboard and the platform.
Two of the dives are limited to a 2.0 difficulty with one of these completed by each of the team members. The other four dives have unlimited difficulty.
Leading after the first set of dives we have Philippe Gagne of Canada and Josefin Schneider of Germany.
I feel this competition may be slightly harder to win for the Chinese duo of Shenping Wu and Hao Yang, who are paired with Mohab Elkordy of Egypt and Veronika Lindahl of Sweden respectively...

Laura Zheng of the United States is second top scorer and closes the gap on Belarus' Maryia Trubach in second.
The final rotation is the ribbon, the only round that Annekova did not win in qualifying. It will take a huge mistake to loss the lead now though, it seems.

14:18 Boxing finals have just joined the day's sporting programme as action slowly begins to build across Nanjing.Uzbekistan's Sulaymon Latipov up against Rufat Huseynov of Azerbaijan are up first.
14:09 As I have stated previously, Russia's Irina Annenkova was the top qualifier for the all-around final here today. She topped the leaderboard in three of the four disciplines, including hoops, and has topped the scoring again in the final.
Her score of 14.975 leaves her ahead of Belarus' Maryia Trubach and America's Laura Zheng as we move onto the ball...
13:45 We're off and running in the gymnastics and up first it's the hoops!
13:36 Speaking of finals, the 10 competitors set to go head to head in the five wrestling weight categories this evening have now been calculated and announced.
In the lightest division, 46kg, Russia's Ismail Gazhiev will battle America's Cade Olivas for the gold medal, while another American, Daton Fix, will lock horns with Mukhambet Kuatbek of Kazakhstan for 54kg gold.
Cadet world champion Teymur Mammadov of Azerbaijan will look to reassert his world dominance in the 63kg category where he faces Anthony Montero of Venezuela, with Meki Simonia of Georgia through to the 76kg final along with Japan's Yajuro Yamasaki.
The final final, 100kg, sees Azerbaijani wrestler Igbal Hajizada face off against Moldova's Dmitri Ceacusta.
13:23 And finally, after 64 bouts in just over two hours, the wrestling preliminary round has come to an end. Exhausted and aching, the athletes will now take the afternoon off before returning to the mats this evening for classification and finals action.
12:58 Apologies for the long pause in action. On my journey to the Main Media Centre I happened across a rather peculiar sight. I appears that the staff in charge of preparing tomorrow night's Closing Ceremony have given up on the long travel to and from work and decided to pitch up right outside the entrance to the Stadium.
Now that's commitment....
![Closing Ceremony staff camping out before tomorrow's big finale ©ITG](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/08/nanjing_2014/Closing_Ceremony_staff_camping_out_before_tomorrows_big_finale_ITG.jpg)
12:32 That is of course if you're not in the Longjiang Gymnasium where qualification matches are still ongoing at an alarming pace. The Pool fixtures are due to continue until 13:30 before classification and finals get underway from 17:00.
12:28 A busy day of boxing finals will begin at 14:00, as well, with Uzbekistan's Sulaymon Latipov up against Rufat Huseynov of Azerbaijan in the opening bout.
It's like a calm before the storm here in Nanjing.
12:12 There's a little over an hour until the first of our gold medal finals gets underway today with action due to begin in the rhythmic gymnastics all-around final.
Russia's Irina Annenkova looked strong in qualifying as she finished up on top with a score of 58.950. She'll face fierce competition from America's Laura Zheng, however.
11:38 A look ahead to this evening's beach volleyball action now.
Following the women's finals last night, it's the turn of the men tonight as two semi-finals are proceeded by the bronze medal and gold medal finals.
The first semi-final will see the Finnish pairing of Santeri Siren and Miro Maattenen take on Russia's Oleg Stoyanovskiy and Artem Iarzutkin. The Russian's have dropped just a single set at the Games so far but should face their toughest test yet against the duo from Finland.
The Argentinian duo of Leandro Nicolas Aveiro and Santiago Karima Ulisi had to take the long road to the semi-final after a preliminary pool stage loss to Ukraine saw them battling for a spot in the last 16 with an extra fixture in the round of 24. The boys made it through, though, and will now face Venezuela's Rolando Hernandez and Jose Gregorio Gomez for a place in the final.

11:19 IOC President Thomas Bach gets a lot of attention wherever he may go here in Nanjing. Well imagine if the German fencing champion, from the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal, were to try his hand a spot of table tennis with say, Swedish legend Jorgen Persson. Well, it turns out he did.
![Quote marks](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/08/nanjing_2014/Quote_marks.jpg)
"Bach received a private lesson from 1991 World Champion and seven-times Olympian Jorgen Persson in front of hundreds of onlookers in Nanjing.
"After impressing the crowd with his deadly forehand, President Bach met the Youth Olympic Games Champions, Fan Zhendong and Liu Gaoyang to congratulate them on their achievements in the Singles event and wished them the best of luck for the future.
"President Bach was so impressed with the level of play from the current senior world number three Fan Zhendong that he promised to personally award him with the gold medal if he becomes the Olympic Champion at Rio 2016.
"Commenting on the visit of President Bach, ITTF President Adham Sharara stated: 'It was a great pleasure to meet President Bach during the table tennis competition. It was also exciting to see the President play with our World Champion and Olympian, Jorgen Persson, as well as interact with some of the Youth Olympians. A lot of fun was had by all!'
"'I also had the opportunity to explain the new ITTF structure and the smooth transition into the Presidency of Thomas Weikert and my new position of Chairman, effective from September 1 2014.'
"In addition to interacting with the Youth Olympic Champions, Bach also spent time speaking to bronze medalists Lily Zhang and Hugo Calderano who won the first (Youth) Olympic medals for their respective continents, as well as Brian Afanador and Tamolwan Khetkhuan.

With the Canadian twins controlling the action to start the third set, the McNamaras grabbed an 8-4 lead. A 5-1 run by the Brazilians tied the set at 9-all as the two teams competed until the end with Ana Patricia and Eduarda prevailing 16-14 in the 42-minute match.
"'We struggled in the first set, and they beat us pretty easily,' said the 16-year Eduarda, who captured the FIVB under-19 world championship earlier this month in Portugal with Andressa Cavalcanti. 'We had a great comeback to win the second and three sets. We will celebrate tonight and then go home and celebrate with our families. This is an unbelievable feeling.'
"For the Ana Patricia, the tallest women's Beach Volleyball player in the Youth Olympic Games at 193 cm (6'4"), she had 'no words to describe how happy we are. We did our best and we brought home the gold.'
"Both teams entered the gold medal match after winning afternoon semi-final affairs with the Canadians defeating Lisa Arnholdt and Sarah Schneider of Germany 2-0 (21-18 and 21-18) in 33 minutes before Ana Patricia and Eduarda downed Nadezda Makroguzova and Daria Rudykh of Russia 2-0 (21-18 and 21-19) in 38 minutes.
"'We are still very happy,' said Megan McNamara, who is 19 minutes older than her sister. 'They are a very good team. Our goal was to win a medal, and it's amazing we were able to do that. We are happy to be here."' Sister Nicole echoed the same and said 'it was an awesome experience to be here, and the medal makes it even better. Our hard work paid off.'"

09:28 Speaking of teams dominating at these Games, the Unites States' women's 3x3 basketball team has been on perilous form through the two weeks. They won every game by the allotted 21 points en route the yesterday's final and, despite not hitting that high reaching target again, that didn't stop the girls picking up a somewhat expected gold medal...
They beat The Netherlands, a team that had beaten them in a practice match before the Games, by 19 points to 10 to land gold around their much deserving necks.

09:20 The final gold medal of yesterday's action came at the Wutaishan Stadium where hosts China dominated Venezuela in the women's football final.
China had not conceded a goal throughout the proceeding fixtures (disregarding two goals for Slovakia in their semi-final penalty shootout) and their goal was barely threatened again in the final as they strolled to a 5-0 thrashing of their South American opponents.
Speaking after the game, Chinese goalkeeper Xu Huan, who may have been slightly bored throughout the match, reflected on the team's performance.
"We were working really hard towards that goal and prepared for a long time with blood, tears and sweat.We didn't think we would win by that much because we thought Venezuela would be very strong, but they weren't."
"We are really happy with our performance and so proud to win that gold."
