Went to watch the swimming, heats of 1500m started 

It’s a challenge with the OBS commentators particularly the male voice.

Opportunity for the commentators to unleash their entire arsenal of trivia and anecdotes.

Lucy hall misses 3 shots very early on in round 2. Makes it v tough to qualify now

Misses a fourth late on, which is probably curtains, barring 3 perfect rounds and some odd things going on with the others.

 

Whittle is technically 2nd reserve for the 100m. Could get through if some of those ahead don't fancy the 100m dogfight.

 

Tough decision for Richards - he's good enough to get into the final but it's not a lock. But doing that means that he risks being more tired for the relay.

 

That's assuming the relay gets there. A small amount of risk resting both Duncan and Matt this morning, although looks like other nations have rested people too.

He seemed determined to medal in the 100m last night.

Judo’s funding is at risk I suspect.

i wish someone would stop your funding

Hales update - he's still waiting to shoot his last round but other results have cleared things already slightly - a 25 would definitely get him into the final. A 24 would guarantee at least a shoot off.

 

A 23 potentially could be enough but that window is likely to be closed by the time he shoots.

Hester finishes 3rd in his group with 77.345 (below van Liere of the Netherlands and Skodborg of Denmark). Not enough for an automatic qualification to the individual dressage final, but a solid score.
