Team GB Daily: Day 14

[KingKunta 11]

Yeah Japan just got a breaking gold and about to grab a wrestling gold as well so go two golds ahead on the table and still have a lot of wrestling chances to come.

 

Don’t tell a certain somebody but I think we will come 6th on the table. 

[RussB 189]

By tomorrow some of the predictions will probably decree GBR will be lucky to finish in the top 10

[Epic Failure 359]

Sad to see Megan so obviously off form in the 10k, but well done to her for keeping going when the easier thing would have been to just DNF. And fair play to Eilish for comforting her.

Japan with 15 Golds with only 36 medals...

More likely 7th, the dutch get levreysen to go level with us and then they need one more from somwehere

Italy need 3, women's volleyball they are in the final of if they can find two more thats 8th 

And yes, i believe this does matter

[Jambo 9]

Germany as well on 12 with a couple of gold medal matches, the Womens sprint and canoe sprint

[RussB 189]

In all seriousness - Emma will be in the mix in the sprint; 2 taekwondo fighters have chances; both 400m relays will be in the mix (men’s may be able to hang in the gold fight); women’s pentathlons; outside chances in the artistic swimming / diving / men’s pentathlon / men’s Keirin.

 

was speaking to French fans today and they say sentiment is very similar

to GB. The gold run has dried up for them too.

Where exactly are they finding the golds from? Serious question as we are down to 2 days to go.

Who do we have to come in for the men's 4x400 that didnt race today, cause they got destroyed by Botswana with MHS and dobson.

I agree they are all chances thats all toby roberts was and he stepped up brilliantly, but none that i can confidently hang my hat on. One gold will be enough for 6th....you'd hope with the number of silver we have

We will change up Toby with AHW I expect after Alex showed strongly

in the mixed relay. Also need more out of Sam on leg 1 (he split a 45.68 when he split a 45 flat for Both legs earlier in the mixed)

 

Emma best chance of gold for the remainder but like I said the taekwondo fighters could deliver and I still have faith in Kate French. Think she will be in the shakeup.
