Team GB Daily: Day 13

[RussB 189]

Stronger hopes for KB and KF - hope they can fence well enough to be in contention

Is that fencing round so bad for Choong he’s completly chanceless now?

 

I will have to hope the horses are completly up for causing carnage.

Eeesh forget about what I said about Kerenza 😭😭

Joe is normally at the top after the fencing. He was initially 6 wins out of 7 so I can only assume the injury mentioned above is accurate.

This is just the Semi Final though, right? Does anyone know how many advance to the Final, and whether scores get reset at that point?

She seems to have stabilized a bit!

No reset the final for the fencing. They simply have the bonus round in the final which gives you a limited opportunity to move up. That’s why today was so critical.

Gosh, yeah - looking back at previous competitions, that's Choong's gold medal hopes pretty much done and dusted (and possibly his chances of getting any medal at all). How gutting.

Disaster for Laugher. Medal hopes over in the men’s 3m springboard.

We are stumbling towards a dreadful ending towards this games. The press reaction will be fascinating- - we could have a 10 or more medal drop and a huge Gold drop with how things are going.
