Epic Failure

Jakob just cared about Josh not winning that

That’s the one, true correct methodology of course.

I dunno why everyone is worried about the Aussies. This entirely neutral medal table I found has us way clear of them...

McTwist's allways make me hungry 

I think so. The realistic chances for our girls making the finals lie with Amber IMO, for either of the twins or Vicky making it would be a huge run.
 
so a heats line up of Vicky, Lina, Nicole, Yemi to give Lavaia and Amber rest would be my best guess 

Fairly certain that wasn't the German team.

Well it was a slim day for medal chances in terms of pure numbers, but it was one of those days when they were all very good chances and, sure enough, all of them came off! 5 chances, 5 medals. Cracking stuff.

Pole vault is fantastic in that sense 

What a legend that man is.
 
Also, I love that Kendricks was leading the cheerleading. Great when the athletes are each other's supporter.

As Hassan just said: "Tsegay likes this kind of drama way too much."

The Keely Hodgkinson black pudding endorsement will be the biggest prize in Lancastrian butchery.

KEELEY!!! 

That was a stupid DQ in the 5000. Tsegay clearly provoked Kipyegon. At least they should have DQ-ed both of them.

Fixed ! Thanks

Huge amount of credit for that  gold belongs to . Kaarle McCulloch came in after Tokyo and completely revamped the women's sprint squad. 

Only team faster each round as well, which suggests a well coached and confident team. That final performance was supreme.

Went absolutely feral. 
 
Best they’ve played all tournament and a better outcome than I was expecting. I’ll take the joy of having the Dutch at 1-1 for a lot of a quarter and watching my team score a goal at the Olympics!!! 

Wow wow wow.  So important.  Looks like Emma Finucane is the single fastest rider here.  Amazing.  

Greetings from the women’s hockey QF. LETS GO GB because I am so outnumbered by the Dutch 

These near-misses for Gold are frustrating, but that's 40 medals (41 if you count the guaranteed Boxing medal) with virtually all of Athletics still to come, plus Track Cycling, Modern Pentathlon, Taekwondo, and further opportunities in Sailing, Golf, Diving, Sport Climbing, Skateboarding, Showjumping, and Artistic Swimming. Doesn't look like we'll reach 20 Golds, but still every chance we beat the total medal count from Tokyo. 

In this time of technological wonders, let us also give praise to the Olympic system that can identify the difference between Lyles and Thompson down to thousandths of a second, but relies of the eyesight of judges to work out if shooters hit their targets or not.
 
Le sigh.
