TRACK & FIELD
Men's 4x100 Relay: Usain Bolt wins another gold medal as part of team that sets world record (36.84)
Ato Boldon: "If you are a fan of the 4x100, you just saw the greatest race in history, as both teams (Jamaica and the United States) have just run the fastest times ever in the history of this event."
Lewis Johnson interviewing Bolt: "To win the gold medals in the 100, 200 and 4x100, what does it say about you?
Usain Bolt: "This is why I came here, to be a legend."
Men's 500 meters: Britain's Mo Farah wins the 5,000 meters. He previously took the gold in the 10,000 meters

Ato Boldon: "Oh say can you see, the United States women have completely dominated the relays."
DIVING
Platform: USA's David Boudia ended USA's gold medal drought.
Ted Robinson: "The first U.S. diver to win gold since Greg Louganis (1988)."
Bob Costas: "So, as was the case in Beijing, the men's platform proves to be both the most exciting and competitive of the diving events, with Qiu Bo expected to win and the entire aquatic center pulling for Tom Daley. It turns out its American David Boudia who emerges with the gold. Ted mentioned Greg Louganis; well it was he, who two years ago told Boudia, 'don't be afraid to leave the pack behind.' That turned out to be winning advice."
NBC DAYTIME
