Easily made it. Under 1.06.

if she doesnt give away at least 6-7 metres at the start she is in PB territory. I can't believe how well she came back there, she was nowhere at halfway

Sad but at least Qin is off the podium.
 

Are we going to get a gold in the pool - suspect not. Sad we won golds in three overnight Olympics and probally none in the evening ones.

All so slow...

What on Earth makes you think the 4x2 boys are getting beaten

Just the form. I can see them getting silver or bronze.

Thought Adam might get silver this time but didn't expect that winner. All about the finish. Still, a fine medal.

 

GBR are exactly where I thought they would be from these first 2 days, although I didn't quite expect the journey that we've taken to get here!

Sorry but what form? What team are you seeing as being better than us having 2 in the final, with 2 guys who could well have pushed into the top 16...? Seriously, what team is winning gold for you? The US have Hobson in form, and possibly Foster to come in, but beyond that? Guiliano couldn't make the semi finals

‪I wonder if today tomorrow will be like the second part of super Saturday repeat in 2016. Peaty getting the silver like Ennis - Hill maybe the first step.

You mean the form that has them being the only nation with 2 swimmers in the final of the individual 200m?!?

 

I get that you are Mr Doom and Gloom but that's just a weird take. It's perfectly possible that we won't win gold but if that happens it won't be because we've not shown form.

This night was very close to being perfect for GB but poor Max getting 4th again and Peaty being out touched has left me feeling crushed.

 

Well done to Angharad, Duncan, Matt and Ollie all making finals tonight. That in itself is a great result. Hope we can get on the right side of the close finishes tomorrow.
