Hinchliffe is such an exciting prospect.

I wonder if in LA he will try and emulate his coach and win a gold there.

Gotta love the BBC coverage - JJ Chalmers just insulted Louie Hinchliffe's running style, leaving Michael Johnson and Jeanette Kwakye lost for words....and he couldn't even get his name right.

Sailing delayed again, I don't know how many reserve days they have but I assume they would have to give the gold to Emma Wilson if they can't complete the medal races.

Why oh why did the hold the sailing on the Med & not in the guaranteed wind of the Atlantic coast?

In fairness, doesn't sailing sometimes get postponed for too much wind? I'm sure I've seen that happen. Could have done it in the Channel as well, that's where we did it.

 

 

After 2 rounds, Rutter has a 2 shot buffer. Still very early days though.

Dutch second line rider complete with 70.775 - down about 4 points on qualifying. Nothing to suggest they are going to be able to challenge for the medals

At long last, closing in on the medal races in the windsurfing.
