Bingham  gave it his best, but no wrestling medal for Nauru today

Commentator crying out of joy because England has just defeated Gambia (!) is a little too much.

 

That was patriotic commentating even for national TV standards, let alone a supposed international feed.

They are all horrible. Idk why international federations insist on English announcers.

What the?! The results in the individual all-around final in rhythmic gymnastics are... I have no words. Ekimova with the gold medal? We've had plenty of weird results in men's artistic gymnastics with gold medals galore for England, so I must have been very naive not to believe this would happen again in rhythmic gymnastics.

 

Even the results when England did not win medals were STILL weird. For example, Rooskrantz had a mostly clean uneven bars routine and she earned a bronze medal with 13.433. The English girl, Achampong, had a very untidy routine with lots and lots of errors and still got the same score. Rooskrantz had a better execution score, so she won the bronze medal and Achampong finished medal-less, but the point is that Achampong should not even score that high to begin with.

The scores for the English gymnasts have been ridiculous.

And Kallemaa once again was robbed. Unbelievable.

Lawrence  v. Lessing  has probably been the best match in wrestling so far, or at least the most competitive. Nice to see some back and forth for a change.

 Take Gold in the Women’s 1m Spring Springboard with Mia Jolie Doucet Vallée. I’m going to take a wild punt & guess she speaks French.

Vallee gets gold in diving!

8 different nations made it to the men's 200 m final - including Eswatini!

Is Canada really going to win 6 medals in wrestling today, but none are gold? We only have one more chance
