Kye Whyte successfully through to the semi finals in the BMX racing.

I think we’ve had a cracking start to the Games. There have been some individually disappointing results, but I actually think that speaks to how strong and competitive Team GB are and how much we expect of them nowadays. Look at the fine margins we’ve been dealing with - say for example Peaty had won Gold and Richards had a slightly better finish and took Gold as well (let’s not forgot both only missed out by 0.02 of a second). Let’s say the Women’s Four had taken the Gold today. If Collett hadn’t clipped that single fence in the Eventing she’d have taken Gold rather than Bronze in the individual eventing. Kieran Reilly only missed out on Gold by 0.91 in the BMX. Fine, fine margins, and if they’d gone our way we’d be on 10 Golds and sitting second in the table which would be absolutely insane after 6 days of competition. 6 Golds, 7 Silver and 7 Bronze at this point in the Games is amazing and by no means a disappointment. You can’t expect everything to go our way all the time, no matter how much we might wish it so

You’re welcome. Any other weather requests?

Men’s Skiff Medal Race about to get underway (for the second time).

Sam Sills currently in 8th in the men’s windsurfing which would gain him a space in a quarter final as things stand. No action yet for Emma Wilson today in the women’s windsurfing, but she’s currently 1st in the standing which would automatically progress her to the final. In the women’s skiff Team GB didn’t qualify for the medal race. As discussed, the men’s skiff medal race has been interrupted. Mathematically the men can challenge for a medal but it depends on lots of other boat placements etc. Rough start for Beckett in the men’s dinghy with a 19th place. Ladies dinghy yet to get underway.

Jake Wightman out due to injury.

A disappointing start for Beckett in the Men’s Dinghy, finishing 19th place. Races delayed again.

A decent morning at the pool. Osrin and Shanahan qualified in the Women’s 200m Backstroke. Proud qualified 5th fastest in the Men’s 50m Free, Cohoon didn’t progress. Duncan Scott qualified 2nd in the Men’s 200m IM, Tom Dean also through. Women also qualified in the 4x200m Freestyle Relay.

Sky Brown has dislocated her shoulder but is still planning on competing.

Sailing all delayed again.
