Definitely not, watched that as well Friday  

 

Mostly looking forward to the marathon next week though, that's definitely her main thing.

Oh, I was just thinking since you weren’t sharing anything about it in the thread at the time that you weren’t watching, but I guess I was mistaken

Yeah, Friday I was just trying to stay on my feet, quite a fever, feeling super cold and bloody hot at the same time, dizzy and so on, watched Aline's heat before stepping back into bed and didn't really care about watching anything else that day  

 

Luckily it's a lot better now, so I can enjoy the day more or less as normal.

Oksana Zubkovska just won her 5th consecutive gold in women's long jump at the age of 41. She's just fenomenal woman, who tried to convince doctors that she is healthy at her junior age.

Italy will raise it to Jury.

 

Perini's cellphone was in the bag which was kept in the boat. It was not intentional as per him.

Favourites  completely mess up against  in the wheelchair rugby semi.  Score was 47-47 with.a minute on the clock. Aussies wanted to hold possession, run out the clock & score with a couple of secs to go.  First part worked, but then they gave up a turnover,  took it to overtime & won!
