Well done to Riley for speaking out. Didn't realise she didn't even get 6th it was a tie with Lia Thomas.

Watching it on delay as kids talked through it on live, but think it started around 7.40am

How shabby.

Of course, deny Riley her moment of glory to appease LT

I believe Riley received her medal via the post.

@JellySaurus

If there was a 5th place medal and they were tied for 5th, why didn't they both get a medal? Isn't that the usual, that tied athletes both get the same medal?

I think I read that they did, except there was only one awarded on the day.

Riley was really clear. I felt really sorry for her when she spoke of Lia getting the fifth place medal, even though they were tied for fifth ‘Women, move over!’.
