Ok can we take the camera off hawkins as she has a breakdown please 😪

women's 4x100 squad breeze into the finals, Jamaica don't look a threat

Job done by sinden in the 1st round, into the QF's where tougher tests lie

Athletics: Is JOHNSON-THOMPSON in the top 3 at the end of the day? YES Cycling Track: Does HAYTER get a medal? YES Diving: Do GB get a medal? YES Golf: Do any Brits end up par or better at the end of the day? NO Marathon Swimming: Does Crisp make the top 10? TOO LATE Modern Pentathlon: Do any Brits in either gender end up in the top 3 at the end of the day (including ties)? YES Sailing: Do we get a medal? YES Sport Climbing: Can any British WOMEN make the final? NO Taekwondo: Does SINDEN get a medal? YES

Yes. i would happily take 18 and consider the Olympics a success for Team GB. I think if we get that we are more likely to be 4th, but sure 5th would be ok. What wouldn't be ok, in my own personal opinion, is slipping behind korea and japan....netherlands dare i say as well with 13/14. Either of the two above scenarios could happen at this stage i think

Because I think that's roughly where a country with our population size/ money invested/ and talent capable should be finishing. 20 golds is about where GB should be at, we wont this time and thats fine, next is to avoid the "worst gold medal return since athens" kind of talk. Therefore aim for beijing total. Not everyone in the country supports the amount of money we spend on sports and will be happy for a reason to have a pop. Would you genuinely not be disappointed in the squad a whole if, lets say, we end up with 14 golds and finish 6/7th in the medal table?

Thiam is going to dust KJT, soild medal chance yes, gold no chance, mens 4x400 and relay chaos are are best hope of gold on the track The rest of those suggested above are solid shots, we just need a change in luck. Hitting 19 that we got in beijing needs to be our minimum aim now (but i have a bad feeling the bookies will be right and we'll be under 16)

Nigeria should medal in 100m hurdles Also burkina faso in triple jump?

Called it. That's another miss.

I know there are semi finals still to happen so they'll be more than 2 in the final.....maybe quarters? its a bit like windsurfing so if its a straight final against people coming in from a semi then i will be pessimistic about out chances haha The final is up to 6 races haha, who knows, but why couldn't they have done windsurfing the same way Bainbridge is into the semi final's of the men's event.

Have they said anything regarding neah? hard to believe it was the plan to not use her, have i missed something?

I need you as a life coach

Yes correct, but that wont be how the media will see it, i mean we could be in real danger of finishing 6....7 in the medals table if things don't pick up, it just doesn't LOOK good, even though it is good achievments. I think what is frustrating is how we are losing these medals, race recalled when in bronze in sailing, crashing like we just did, the skeet shooting incident, urgh

The windsurfing quite literally took the wind out of our sails

Can we have week one back please

Yeah it's done, we don't have enough reliable gold chances left, trying to stay ahead of france will be a challenge is well, turning into a bit of a shocker for GB

Of course in a close battle we blow it, over to you MHS to fall apart 10 meters from the line

Someone explain why this race isn't abandoned and the last one was? Boats barely moving, Absolute joke against GB sailors

Same person whose job it was to check if the clay's were hit in women's skeet

Really getting sick of sailing

Sailing at these olympics is a joke

Absolute brainfart by france at the end there

That's not actually unexpected, we were 1.5 seconds behind america yesterday

Argh! A katie archibald away from the final, usually love rob hatch but i'm not sure i can watch the men's pursuit later with commentary on

Hull in the golf is +8 so we can rule her out, did she forget her clubs and is just throwing the ball? Hall at Evens but has only played a few holes
