That was easily the fastest 200 free relay split of all time by Titmus.

considering only Olympic Games, World and European Championships, it is (the previous best was a 1.53.low by  Federica Pellegrini in the final of the 2009 Worlds in Rome (with the rubbish...ehm, rubber suits...also  Allison Schmitt had a similar time in the same race)...

 

p.s. really strange that Pellegrini did swim below the 1.53 mark in the individual race starting still and couldn't do better in an inside (last) leg of the relay (actually, she never swam faster in the relays than in the individual races in her entire career)...

Vachon so close to gold in weightlifting.  He had the last lift, just lost it.  Went 1kg higher than he needed to for gold, have to wonder if that made a difference.  

 

Canada will never win another gold, apparently.  

[Mkbw50 475]

Wow what drama in the weightlifting!!!

[Mkbw50 475]

Lawn Bowls and Para Lawn Bowls: The Men's Triples team into the Final with a 17-5 win, but the Para teams doing less well, the Men losing 17-4 and the Women losing 16-10.

Weightlifting: A dramatic final as Chris Murray wins gold with a 325 GR... the athlete very nearly overtook him but dropped it at the last minute!

Judo: Hall won by Ippon, as did McKenzie, 10-0. Toprak also won by ippon (10s1-0s3), while Nairne won by Waza-ari 0s2-1. Platten won by ippon 10-0, and Hall beat   Daniel Rabbitt in his quarterfinal by the same scoreline.

Swimming: Wilby 2nd in his heat (27.74), Butler 5th in his (27.80) and Peaty won his (27.10), all qualified. Anderson 2nd in her heat (54.83), while Hopkin 4th (55.50) ahead of Hindley in 5th (55.83) in their heat, all qualified. Ingram (52.17) led Peters (52.18) in an English 1-2 of their heat, with Guy (52.49) 2nd in his heat to ensure all English qualified. Wood (2:13.24) 2nd in her heat and Wilson (2:14.89) 4th in her heat, both qualified. Vasey (1:09.62) 4th in her heat, Renshaw (1:07.54) 2nd and Clark (1:08.99) 4th in their heats to all qualify and ensure a perfect morning session for Team England

I don't know the name of the BBC badminton commentator, but she sounds like she's having an out-of-body experience right now

[Mkbw50 475]

McKenzie wins his quarterfinal against Dylan Munro by waza-ari (1s1-0s2). A semifinal against Joshua Katz awaits.

Nairne loses her semifinal though to Christina Deguchi by waza-ari (1-0) and will go to a bronze final against an athlete from or

[Mkbw50 475]

Ooh bad luck for Platten, she loses her semifinal to Michaela Whitebooi with a golden score waza-ari. It will be a bronze encounter against an athlete from or

[Mkbw50 475]

Hall beats Petros Christodoulides by ippon just 26 seconds in 10-0 in his semifinal. He will face Katz or McKenzie in his final... could it be   vs for gold?
