  1. Gotta love the BBC coverage - JJ Chalmers just insulted Louie Hinchliffe's running style, leaving Michael Johnson and Jeanette Kwakye lost for words....and he couldn't even get his name right.
  2. I thought for a minute you were going to say that Wilson had been disqualified or something like that. Don't care when the race is so long as she can take the gold
  3. Please.....please......please do not engage with his nonsense. He only spouts this rubbish because he wants to elicit reactions from the rational members of the forum who actually have a genuine interest in sport and want Team GB to succeed. Harsh though it may be, sometimes the only way to deal with a petulant child is to put them in the corner and ignore them.
  4. After the first line riders, team dressage comp is looking surprising good for GB with Becky Moody the only rider of the top 3 nations to improve on their qualifying . Becky Moody 76.489 (+1.551 on qualifying) Daniel Bachmann Andersen 75.973 (-0.937 on qualifying) Frederic Wandres 75.942 (-0.176 on qualifying)
  5. Emma Wilson had major blip in race 10........she could only manage to get a 3rd
  6. With 8 races complete in women's windsurfing we now apply the second discard score - for Emma Wilson that's a 2 She's won 6 out of the first 9 races. Will be so gutted for her if she doesn't take the top spot on the podium after performance like that
  7. If his brother can win his match then GB would be guaranteed a place in the last 16
  8. Big shake up in the men's windsurfer with 6 sailors being BFD'd including and who were all in contention for the SF
  9. I see Dickinson was DNF in the triathlon - only ran 2500 metres. Was he injured or just saving himself for the mixed relay?
  10. So another disappointing result in the judo today. Doesn't look like we'll be bringing back medal this time around. Worth saying though that 3 of our bouts have been lost in golden score so could easily have gone in our favour if we'd had a bit of luck on our side.
  11. It's a shame that ultimately the briefest of pauses between elements brings Downie's score down but let's be honest, when we lost Gadirova, then Ondine and then saw their performance during qualifying, nobody would have thought GB would even be close to the podium.
  12. DD for Downie only 4.8 compared to 5.4 in qualifying. That could be it over for them unfortunately
  13. 2 clean beam routines for GB against 2 relatively messy floor routines from Italy....
  14. OK 1 down, 2 more beam routines to go. It could happen. Still don't think it will but it's at least possible
  15. Is it just me or do the Romanian squad look like they've been dressed by Lidl?
  16. God loves a trier but the BBC commentators are going all out to hype GB women's medal chase when they still have uneven bars and beam to go. The chances of all three gymnasts getting through their routines without falling are slim to say the least.
  17. Always find it ridiculous that the women's floor routines are performed to music but the routine and the music rarely seem to have any connection to each other.
  18. Clarke safely through to the semi-finals despite a messy second run. He finishes in 4th with 2 second penalty - he's going to need to find something special to catch the Frenchman though
  19. in perhaps the most vulnerable position of the top 3 as their discard score is a DSQ (21 points) so basically every result will count for them so they can't really afford to have a bad race. Both and have a discard score of 18 so if they have a dodgy race in the next 3 they could easily see themselves drop down the table. NZL will be glad that racing is done for the day as they have struggled in the conditions today with an 11th, 18th and 16th. In contrast, GB had a 5th, 11th and 1st in the last 3 races. looking pretty good at the top of the table. They have an 11 point lead over IRL and their discard score is 16 so even if they have to count that, they'd still be in the mix for the medals.
  20. Overall, seem to be holding their own in terms of the overall medal numbers. From the events that have been completed I think we're down 2 golds in the swimming but one of them has been offset in the shooting.
  21. By shortly you mean tomorrow morning right? Dressage is done for the day.
