Thrown away a medal in the mixed multihull after a lovely DQ on the starting line. Absolutely atrocious regatta for GB.

Considering the funding they get it’s going to be massive disaster. Sure it they going to lose funding.

Thiam has a relative disaster in the high jump. Opens things up

Super-solid start for KJT - still don't think she's a serious contender for Gold, but 13.40 + 1.92 is very encouraging as far as Silver/Bronze are concerned.

Even a bronze would be fantastic for her and end her carrer on a high (With Pozzi having retired I’m assuming she is as well).

I really don’t see any medals in that sport. You need luck in that and Team GB don’t have much of it at the moment.

You may be sure that the angriest, meanest, most humanphobic horses in the whole of France have been specially selected for Team GB.

To think he said he’s going to take up fencing full time for LA2028 when they change it to an obstacle course instead of riding!

We will finish with more medals ( Including for some games golds) than games widely seen as big success’s. But after setting such high expectations in the last 3 these are going to be seen as the team going backwards.  If they don’t get top 5 then they will be a lot of scrutiny on why they failed to reach one of the targets.
