Also, if you are able to, watch the replay of the first men's pair heat. The top 4 essentially were covered by a blanket after a sprint finish and probably GBR's biggest threat to gold the world champ Swiss pair dropped from 1st to 4th in the final sprint. They will now need to row an extra race....

 

so impressive from the GB boys in the heat, absolutely dominant.

Swimming starting well: 

200m free qualifications for Matt and Duncan safely

Max qualifies 2nd fastest for 400 IM final in a 4 09.5! Very much optimistic for the final.

 

Evans coming up

Archery, is one where you look at it and think “how hard can it be, stand in same place and fire arrow” and then you try it for yourself and realise the skill and talent the athletes have! 

You don’t realise on TV just how bloody far away the targets are!

I am not surprised at that. In recent history every Brit predicted to do well in the Judo loses in their first fight while it’s the surprise ones who do well. 
 

Judo’s funding level must sadly be in doubt Unkess anyone else does a surprise run later on in these games.
