Samuels fourth in Olympic discus final

Dani Samuels started well and finished better, only to find herself 44cm outside a medal in the women's discus final at the Rio Olympics.

The 2009 world champion's best throw of 64.90m came in the final round on Tuesday, but it wasn't quite enough to overtake bronze medallist Denia Caballero from Cuba (65.34m).

Croatian powerhouse Sandra Perkovic only had one legal throw of 69.21m in the final, but it still proved good enough to give her a second straight Olympic title.

The silver went to France's Melina Robert-Michon (66.73m).
