Comedy commentary really. Still he is not as sleep inducing as Mo Sbihi is

I think that’s the first time this games we had a gold really in grasp through pretty much all of a final and lost it late.

Chinese unexpectedly loose in the Diving, we are well in silver, but Mexico in Gold. Very tight.

Diving squad are really doing us proud, 4 medals from 4 events

We actually had a streak of golds, but never a proper team, only several individuals.

 

Big gold chance in the rowing now - men’s pair

But that's what I mean; they haven't capitalised on the success that fell in their laps (similar to badminton). Not even compared to the canoe slalom. Is it the same governing body?

Morgan Lake will be one of those complaining she gets left at home in the future wont she, despite doing nothing with the many chances she has been given

She is one of those who is probably helping push the team to become smaller and smaller. It be under 50 for the next worlds going by the selection standards - world athletics moving further towards to world rankings while GB hates that idea.

Getting a bit bored of silver (very over privileged). Come on now lightweight sculls!
