Team GB Daily: Day 7


 Share

Recommended Posts

Well the 200 IM went to the form book didn’t it? Excellent swim by Duncan and brave effort by Deano but was always a huge ask for him to fight his way onto the podium given what Marchand is doing and Duncan’s form.

 

great day for GB despite Beth’s final woes. keely was utterly cruising in her 800m and looks phenomenal. The mixed relay had a strong leg from AHW which shocked me and Laviai held on Klaver.

i expect Dobson to come in on leg 1 to battle the Dutch Belgium and France for minor medals

Had a 'Fabulous Friday' quality to it, right enough - incredibly happy with my Irish hat to be sitting essentially on five medals already, even with our boxing woes, and still Rhasidat, Rhys and a bit more Daniel to come. With my British hat, sad for Beth, but better it happens when you've a gold in the box, and Bryony just made my day - GBs first individual female olympic gymnastics champion (and not Jess Gadirova, as I thought it might be). to be at this point with a Men's eight to come tomorrow, not a velodrome pedal turned in anger, several gymnastics finals, a couple of kayak X and the athletics only started...not to mention MP, sailing, the triathlon relay...

 

Good times! Just hope Kye gets well soon.

Good times!

I’ve been in attendance for both Ireland’s golds so far so I consider myself their lucky charm 🤣

 

very hopeful for the men’s 8 tomorrow and the golfers going well. Athletics started very nice. So much going on. I agree on Bryony , special moment.

I suspect Tom will be slightly disappointed. Not in relation to Leon or Duncan but there was a bronze up for grabs there. Still, 5th is a solid performance.

 

Pleased for Katie and Honey. Those are both fine performances in a tough event.

 

The pool is obviously not going to have the golden shine that Tokyo had. But we're still at 1G and 4S which is a perfectly respectable haul, with small chances of adding to it in the men's relay, the women's 200m IM, women's 50m free and women's relay in that order.

 

Shame for Beth, she had her one bad start of the week and got caught in the pack. Wonder if the longer hold at the start spooked her.

 

Just under halfway through the competition and we're firmly on track to be somewhere in the 50s total medal wise.

 

I reckon we have 87 medal shots left in my patented Fail-o-meter, ranging from the Keely down to some much more speculative ones. For reference, the medals we've got thus far have been from 65 medal shots.

I’m definitely not going to bite on the “Tom could have got bronze” line 🤣🤣

 

Tonight all the swimmers did themselves proud I think, really couldn’t have asked for more.

 

The games has been very successful so far and long may it continue.

    • Argentina also has ski centers on the Tierra del Fuego but that doesn't mean it will immediately become a powerhouse in this sport 
    • Speak for yourself. Why should we give up our one great talent of the younger generation when we have no one else? Maybe from the same reason that the USA didn't give up Schiffrin to another country when she had 17-18...
    • A very ignorant statement.   Of course the UK is not exactly known for its winter sport but there are some ski resorts mainly in Scotland, like the Cairngorms or the Nevis Range.
    • But in women's epee another defeat by Ukraine. We are slowly developing a complex about this country, because we are constantly losing to them in sabre too. Sabre has always been Ukrainian, epee for a draw or our slight advantage but a failed in women`s foil, which is already a shocking novelty  
    • What comeback for the italian men's foil team in the finals vs the USA  Bianchi won 9-3 against Massialas in the last bout
