She seems to be incredibly tough. Good for her.

Why the long wait for the archery to resume? Bit worried the Brits will lose their momentum.

Couldn't post at the time but have to say the triathlon and the rowing were epic. If anything goes on to linger longer in the memory than the mountain bike or the tri, we'll have seen something incredible.

Really enjoyed that triathlon. Thought Potter did everything she could. France favourite for the relay but it will be close enough for us to have a chance. Didn't realise the extent to which Beaugrand's golden performance was polished in Britain until her interview. She seems like a very likeable winner.

Great race. Beaugrand worries me; seemed to take a backseat in the cycling.

Never in doubt. Wonderful swim. Evans and Murray jumping up and down

This was what was frustrating. But agreed that for this team 4th was excellent.

Gutted for Downie in particular.

Uh oh. Low mark.

Somebody mentioned shooting being like a penalty shootout but the women on beam for a medal is a new kind of nail biting

Can't believe I missed a gold. Didn't give the shooting the credit it deserved and just gave up up the daytime stuff. I've found the 2 narrow swimming silvers much more frustrating than the 4ths.

The French guy may as well have been walking his dog round the the block so familiar was he with that course! Burgess was fantastic but the Frenchman was supreme. Not sure I could have been so magnanimous if Tom hadn't been suitably rewarded for one of the greatest performances I've seen by a Brit: it was incredible.

I feel the same about surfing. I watched some yesterday and it was just two women having a nice paddle for 10 mins and nobody actually standing on a board. Puntastically, I got bored and turned over.

Orangehair, I stood up for you when I joined the forum but I'm really starting to see where the other users were coming from. I have to say, it's especially annoying in the international threads.

Chinese divers have been fantastic. GB have been excellent. Other Brits will win gold for comparable performances where industrial hoovering up of golds is not such an issue.

That doesn't look that great for the sailors. I had assumed that being so close to home they'd be set for a good time. To be honest, I had also come to the conclusion that funding gave us sufficient advantage that we'd always have a successful team.

Why are we so bad at 7s? I'm sure the answer is money but surely it wouldn't take that much to run a half decent men's team and to be good enough to give the Aussie women a match? Team sports are the perennial disappointment at the Olympics which is so frustrating when you compare participation to rowing or some of the other events.

Thanks for doing this each day. It's very helpful. So many Brits in action! Was looking for a slot to leave the TV but it seems futile! I'll just have to get on with life and miss something.

If the point was to have flexibility for unforseen circumstances then it is being used effectively, no?

A normal person having such a shocking outcome from an innocuous incident would feel absurd but to happen at this point to somebody so physically talented is just cruel.

I think it's been clear that the British athletes are more focused on the trials and what lies beyond. There are also a few people who have made mistakes in Rome that they will learn from and may prove a blessing in disguise.

Carvell ran really strongly for a 19 year old with limited experience (think he was third best on leg 1) and has a recent pb only a little faster. 1st leg is by far the hardest. Something went wrong on the first changeover and that put the rest well out of it. It's a disappointing mistake but better here than in the Olympics and hopefully lessons will be learnt. MHS is not a natural relay runner in the sense that he clearly struggles with his race management in relays (it's taken him a long time and a hell of an effort to become the individual 400 runner he now is despite huge talent as a junior runner) and so has ended up doing the first leg solidly but unspectacularly. He clearly, and quite sensibly, prioritises his individual race. I don't expect to see him in the mixed in Paris. This year is his chance to win individual Olympic gold (not saying he's favourite) and I don't think he'll jeopardise that even for the chance of relay gold. Dobson is fragile physically and so races sparingly which is smart. I imagine we'll see him and Hudson Smith in the men's relay in Paris when they've done their individuals. If CD is feeling strong come Paris and with the hope of more Olympics ahead of him, he might do all 3 events. The really promising thing is that seven of the top eight men in the UK have run PBs this year. That's really unusual and encouraging. The situation for the women is more complicated. Everybody understands that Amber Anning has only limited availability and her season may be mostly run by the Olympics. If you look at how Adeleke and many others have run at international championships after competing in the NCAAs then it does not indicate that Anning will be at her best. We can hope, and some athletes buck the trend but my guess is she'll be somewhere between 0.5 and a second slower than whatever she runs in the NCAA final. Her uni paid for her training so it's fair enough. The rest of the women are of a remarkably similar and decent standard and I think most of them know that when it comes to Paris, they are relay runners who might get a run in the individual. However, because they are so similar, it is important that they focus individually now in the run-up to British championships so the selectors can fairly and objectively identify the top six and in what order. Keely being in the top 5 is purely a function of her being amazing and, in my view, in no way an indictment of the rest.

He's planning to do one more year after this but says this was probably his last grand tour going for GC and leading the team. 3rd is a brilliant achievement. Pidcock is class.

Potter looked outgunned at the end. She kept trying to break them but they weren't having it.

Cat is certainly amongst the pigeons.
