McGowan into bronze medal match 

[Epic Failure 355]

Not just the bronze, but a new British record as well.

 

Fine run from Laura as well. *That* would have been a British record itself.

 

Not a bad week for the Trevor Painter trained athletes!

I was trying desperately to work out if dampner was a word.

It’s something you use in steam locomotives.

AHW - MHS - Davey - Dobson relay order, interesting to leave Reardon off this team.

[JamDH 44]

Kitaguchi big favourite for javelin though surely, with regards Japan as was discussed a bit earlier.

Excellent bronze for Noah Williams.

 

Come on Emma, Sophie, Emily, Jack, Neah and Kate to get a medal tomorrow and then we have a medal every day.

Damn, had to go out for a few hours so have been watching everything on fast forward. Completely gave up on the diving before the miracle R5 & R6 comeback!

I mean that's just objectively not true.

 

Ignoring the impact that losing Hayter might have had to the team's plans, this field is stacked.

 

And even it we think that it is a bad showing, it still doesn't make it 'shameful'.

Not wanting to harp on an old tune, but the men’s madison was way, way higher calibre than the women’s. Really can’t understand why it was so poor. 

[RussB 189]

Sam left off after doing 3 runs, and the third one was by far the slowest. Might be a decision to bring in fresh legs. Bold call.

 

women go with the 4 I expected, its all change: Vicky Laviai Nicole Amber
