Athletics: The London Olympics was set for its warmest day yet on Thursday, promising familiar conditions for Jamaicans Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake as they prepared for their 200 metre final encounter at 1955 GMT. Daytime temperatures could reach 24 degrees Celsius (75 degrees Fahrenheit) in dry, bright weather, Britain's Met Office said. The evening at the Olympic Park was forecast around 22-23 degrees with a humid feel — a fairly typical Jamaican night for 100 champion Bolt — said Met Office forecaster Dave Britton. "It'll be nothing he's not used to," he added. High pressure is forecast over London for a few days, he added, with an increased risk of showers for Sunday's marathon and closing finale. — Reuters

Kayaking: Last year's World Championships silver medallists Australia narrowly claimed gold Thursday in a close-run Olympic men's kayak four final.

The Australians held a quarter-length advantage for most of the race to cross the 1,000-metre line in two minutes, 55.08 seconds.

Tate Smith, Dave Smith, Murray Stewart and Jacob Clear regained a gold medal Australia last won 20 years ago in Barcelona.

The silver went to Sydney 2000 champions Hungary, who couldn't make inroads on the Australians despite a late spurt to clock 2:55.69.
