(If I'm wrong about the hockey today there will be surprise and elation to add to the tally!)

[RussB 189]

I think most of these questions are slam dunks and there won’t be much variation in answers today. Low scores would be indicative of a very poor day for GB 🤣

 

I have slight concern for the women’s skiff who perhaps need far stronger winds to perform better than yday.
