Gutted for Downie in particular.

If she can get a bit higher she can a medal in the individual.

It's a shame that ultimately the briefest of pauses between elements brings Downie's score down but let's be honest, when we lost Gadirova, then Ondine and then saw their performance during qualifying, nobody would have thought GB would even be close to the podium.

So we need two medals in the individuals to keep pace with Tokyo.

So brief the commentators didn’t really notice it.

This was what was frustrating. 

 

But agreed that for this team 4th was excellent.

Richards out of the 100 final.

 

Is Proud in the 50 the only individual medal hopeful left.

Considering how often and loudly you have been voicing your opinion about how badly things have been going, I'm surprised that you would need to ask that.

 

And the answer is, no, obviously.

 

Even if we limit medal hopeful to people who have won recently at global level (so ignoring Greenbank's Olympic bronze), we have the 2023 bronze and silver in the men's 200m IM from the World Champs.

Hopkin faded badly there.

Dang Murray/Evans tiebreak, just as the relay starts!
