Team GB Daily: Day 13

[Jon 51]

So am I right in thinking our remaining Gold Medal hopes are:

• Women’s Madison
• Men’s Madison
• Women’s Sprint (Finucane)
• Women’s Pentathlon

 

Events underway are Women’s Heptathlon which is going better than expected, and Men’s Pentathlon which is going worse than hoped. 

Not sure if any of our remaining taekwondo fighters are favoured? And the rest of our opportunities are really just to medal rather than realistic shots at Gold? 
 

I think we will be lucky to hit 15 Gold.

2 taekwondo fighters on their day are very competitive. Oh and I still think neah will be competitive in the women’s omnium plus the relays look very promising across the board and a medal in the 1500 is not out of the question. Amber has a sniff of a minor medal in the 400m too.

 and  too with the likes of Taekwondo, Wrestling and Weightlifting, I think we're gonna be in for a bumpy ride these last few days.
