Today's predictions were really tough! Four or five that felt pretty much like a coin toss. Going to be one of those days, I think: could feel like a big success, if Kerr, Brown, Richardson, and one of the showjumpers all hit, or could all be a bit of a damp squib. 

I see what you did

4 penalty points for Ben Maher surely puts him out of contention.

Harry Charles has withdrawn from the show jumping due to horse injury. 

He could at least have given it a bash on his own.  Is that the Olympic spirit?

[Orangehair43 252]

No medals for GB today in the showjumping. Both Maher and Brash knocked the same fence down.

Not sure if anyone picked up on the kite results yesterday but both Brits going well.

Emily Aldridge leading after 5 races but the rankings are very tight. Format is top 2 proceed to the final race with others joining after a semi final. 5 more races scheduled today of a total 15.

Luke Bainbridge 5th after 5 races.

Laugher and Houlden both looking good in the Diving - qualified 3rd and 4th for the Final.

For the Semi, not the Final. Still both looking solid though.
