McArthur qualifies for the climbing final! Can Roberts match him? That’s a great result.

Just realised I answered yes instead of two for the diving question. That’s what I get for doing it half asleep!! Feel free to disregard my answer given event now already underway. Sure this might have been discussed yesterday but really impressed by a 5th place finish for Fincham-Dukes yesterday in the long jump. He’s not funded, works full time and is back to work on Friday!

Athletics: Does Hudson-Smith win gold? YES Cycling Track: Do we win MEN'S Team Pursuit gold? NO Diving: Out of Houlden and Laugher, how many make the final? YES TWO Golf: Do any Brits end the day in the top ten? NO Sailing: Does BECKETT win gold? NO Sport Climbing: Does MCARTHUR qualify? YES

Thanks- this is a really useful guide for the coming days. No doubt there’ll be fine margins in it, but I would personally be disappointed if we don’t hit 60 medals. I think in terms of Golds, it would be good to either match or beat Beijing’s total (19). Perhaps an unrealistic goal at this point. I know people put different weight on the importance of medal table positioning, but I would have liked to stay on top of Australia or France (or both). Top four was certainly within reach I feel, and if you look back on our string of almosts (Women’s Skeet, Men’s BMX Freestyle, Individual Eventing, Men’s Golf, Men’s 100m Breaststroke, Men’s 200m Freestyle) if things had gone the other way we wouldn’t be having these conversations. That I suppose is the nature of sport, you’ll always rue your chances and look back at where improvements could have been made. Certainly not a disappointing performance by Team GB, but hope for some luck in the coming days.

Anyone know how much a judge costs? We can start a whip around to get a medal if it’s still there in LA. What an absolute farce.

Precedent now set. If that happens again and a decision goes the other way surely anyone would just appeal. Officiating across all sorts of events at these Olympics is subpar.

Perhaps Kenny’s 8 golds was overblown after all…

And it’s Bronze

Aldridge marked as a DNS for the women’s kitesurfing? What’s all that about - she’s second in the standings overall!

Cheptegai and Kiplimo withdrawn from the 5000m.

Ohuruogo through to the 400m semi finals after a season best in the repechage, joining Nielsen and Anning.

Athletics: Do we win a 1500M gold medal? YES Boxing: Does Richardson win? NO Cycling Track: Do we medal? YES Diving: Does Spendolini Sirieix medal? YES Equestrian: Do we get at least one medal? YES Sailing: Does Beckett medal? NO Sport Climbing: Is a Brit in the top eight? NO Skateboarding: Does BROWN medal? YES

Enjoy the game! Keeping everything crossed

I just feel like the past few days the wheels have started to come off a bit. Maybe we should start counting medals like the Americans

Starting to feel like it’s a bit of an issue, Franklin very hard done by there.

I am anxious to see how the track cyclists perform. If they are under par as per the Rowing Squad at Tokyo 2020, we may well struggle to get over 15 Golds and may slip down the final medal table.

No mark and she’s out

And now the Silver has been downgraded to Bronze! Very frustrating

It’s hard to not be disappointed with Silver - we seem to have been stuck in a rut of almosts and what ifs. Hopefully someone today can change that!

Athletics: Does Hodgkinson win gold? YES Canoe Slalom: Does CLARKE win a medal? YES Cycling Track: Do we medal? YES Diving: How many Brits make the final? TWO Hockey: Do we reach the semis? NO Sailing: Does any Brit win a race? YES Sport Climbing: Are any Brits in the top eight? YES Triathlon: Do we win a medal? YES

Peaty swam 58.1 on his split in the medley. That would’ve got him the Gold comfortably in the individual.

Franklin and Woods progress to the quarter finals in the Kayak Cross, as well as Clarke.

Henderson, Georgi and Deignan all in the leading pack in the road race.

Bronze for Hepworth, an exciting prospect for LA2028.

That’s absolutely outrageous, shame on the referees.
