Mixed fortunes for Team GB in women's long jump

Great Britain's Lorraine Ugen and Jazmin Sawyers have earned a place in the final of the women's long jump at the Olympic Games.

Ugen was the pick of the British qualifiers as she finished in seventh position with an effort of 6.65m while Sawyers sneaked into the final in 12th place with 6.53m.

However, there was disappointment for Shara Proctor, who failed to make it into the top 12 just a year after claiming silver at the World Championships.

She could only end the qualifying competition in 21st spot with a best mark of 6.36m.
