Hold on india!!!

who shot him out of a cannon! that was incredible

could be my eyes because its late.....last swiss runner was out of her lane?

That she started walking off as well i'd love to play poker with her

I can only imagine the level of chaos on that warm up track with that many athletes practising change overs, like a bag of weasels out there

5/5 Dobson looking good! Can relax and enjoy the evening* now (*morning??)

Did no one tell the Kenyan 3rd leg it was 4x4 race and not 4x1?

Happy for there, and their second leg runner who folded like origami yesterday

Olympics themed trivia? Slide into my DM's

the only narrative of a "BIG" drop in medals is yours, no one else remotely thinks this.

This is exactly what i needed cause i probably (definitely) would have missed that

Thought i would start an event where we could share a) offical streams of events going on (i find a lot on youtube) and b) (more importantly) what upcomming qualifiers are happening that people may/may not know about For example i didn't know the fencing european qualifiers were this weekend (there was a stream of every piste on youtube) I'll get the ball rolling with some low hanging fruit, World relays in bahamas are this weekend just don't know if its on tv or not yet

I was impressed with the GB showing at the europeans, and yes we did it before tokyo as well, but this performance just felt stronger. I'd hang my hat on at least 2 golds in Paris, and hopefully with a strong camp that results in the development of above mentioned sprint finishes maybe get a couple more. It's certainly a good spot to be under rating everyone. Just very hard to tell at the moment with nations peaking for the final chance qualifier, and majority of GB boats (hopefully) not at thier peak yet Main concern of a boat i guess would be the women's 8, unsure if they can move people out of this to make the other boats stronger because i dont follow the rowers that well, but losing to a romanian team by a length who had double the amount of racers over the weekend doesn't look strong

The whole way through i was going to ask how many you thought we could get, and then boom, got in their first anyways. More the merrier, i'd honestly be happiest seeing Kiaran and Owain as they came so close last time, and anything less than qualification from amy will have GB boxing with questions to answer, looks like that had to close comments on thier team selection post as the families of the British boxers were up in arms, as you say whitwell had more than enough opportunity to qualify, i dont think they can have any complaints personally.

on a daily basis, how often are you wrong?

How long do you think it would take to get from the airport to the mountain biking venue? i've talked myself out of going to paris for what i initially had planned, but as a long shot im thinking of trying to do the mountain biking as a day trip from the north west of england, flights and everything work out fine, would there be anything like an express bus to the venue?

Two of my personal top five will be the same nationally i suspect, Super Saturday At 2012 Redgrave's 5th At 2000 My other personal 3 to round out the 5 would be Chris Boardman individual pursuit 1992 (first games i watched) Men's 4x100 2004 Mo's double (but rio 2016 as i was at both) (humble brag)

Connor Bainbridge having a strong day two and is currently ranked 1 after 7 races, looking good for the quota at this point

Decent enough start for Connor Bainbridge 4th overall after 5 races

no he hasn't, like most of the people on here im gonna have to block you now, just annoying

i don't know how i'm going to survive the actual olympics, because watching him get that quota was intense, swiss guy properly fell apart right at the end

i think its broadcast on youtube, will sneak that on and watch a sport i didnt think i'd be watching this week

When is the final of this please

No Freya Anderson. You were wrong. No Kieran Bird. You were wrong. Team under 30 because of cutbacks, wrong wrong wrong

The men's road race is going to be a free for all, i can't wait, the road race (off the top of my head) is a week after the mountain biking yes? so i'd be happy to see him go in both
