Fantastic dominant performance by the 8!

 

I do get the theory of the stroke rate but when they're losing it's hard not to want them to go faster🤣

 

Medal table is 10 10 9, right? Almost perfectly neat. Shows really good strength in depth.

Back above the USA… but for how long.

A fair bit resting on Richardson and Lyles for the US athletics team.

After the first line riders, team dressage comp is looking surprising good for GB with Becky Moody the only rider of the top 3 nations to improve on their qualifying .

 Daniel Bachmann Andersen 75.973 (-0.937 on qualifying)

Hockey is sport to watch when the funding comes arround. The cuts could be brutal there. 

Loathe as I am to take the bait on more of this obsessive funding nonsense, but the GB Men have got a very winnable QF against India, and still look a very decent shout for a medal. So yeah.
