Fair play to the relay; they pushed us much closer than I expected them to.

Before tonight it was 36 years since Northern Ireland had had a gold medalist - two members of the GB men's hockey team - and 52 years since they'd had an individual gold medalist- Mary Peters (Athletics-pentathlon). Now they have two on the same night with Wiffen and Jack McMillan who swam a leg in the 4x200 m relay qualification this morning.

Nice to see the swimming squads being right next to the podium so the teams could celebrate with them.

Got an unreliable factoid here, but it is claimed that this is the first time in Olympic history, all sports, winter or summer, that any relay team has won twice with the same line up.  Get on to it, stats hounds!

What a great evening of swimming. So happy that Wiffen backed up his big talk. Been a huge couple of days for near blind glasses wearing stars!

 Hwang Sunwoo also withdrew from the 100 free. Going all in on the relay.

 

Should've swum the semi.
