Matthew Richardson 🇦🇺 is going to be representing Team GB going forwards. Game changer! 

As much as it’d be nice I would rather we continue the Jack of all trades approach just in case disaster happened in that one sport.

Yeah i am lucky enough to have the school holidays off so think i am off for the first week of the para's, think im back at work second week....what channel has it this year? 

Channel 4 have full rights!

I’ll be more than happy to get in on the para discussions. Couldn’t justify booking it off work as already had the whole of the Olympics off but I’ll be watching on my days off! 

1) Alex Yee - My favourite Team GB gold of the games. Thinking he was out of it, them cutting away from the action and then as soon as they cut back he was right behind Wilde. Amazing.

2) Toby Roberts - I love anytime we get gold in a new sport, shows we are a jack of all trades team and don’t just rely on one or two sports to soak up all the medals. *coughjudoandwrestlingcough* 

3) Andy Murray, enough said. I got a new found respect for Dan Evans these games. 

We got screwed in the shooting, the windsurfing was a farce, Whitehouse definitely won that floor final and the Argentine was overmarked in the BMX final. Adding those 4 alone nevermind the near misses in the 1500 and 400m men’s track finals and the two swimming finals and we would be lapping it up.

It was just an unlucky games and I don’t think questions need to be asked. We move on. 
 

Would be great if Finucane can get the sprint title and one of the pentathlon girls can win their title tomorrow to end the games on a good note.

I feel for every non relay runner whose funding is going to be axed soon. What’s the point of funding field atheltes. Gaby Logan and Denise Lewis are talking about that. 

I’d maybe not worry about funding as much as you do. 

What a comeback there! Amazing run! 

Choong 50 seconds behind on the leader.

Frustrating he had such a bad fencing round that’s carried over to today bc he’s smashed both his swims and yesterdays lazer run.

Hopefully they all shoot as bad as French did earlier

I thought a combo that had MHS/Dobson in it would be a potential gold medal shout but they looked well off the pace in the heats but hopefully there is something left in the tank from them both. 

Yeah Japan just got a breaking gold and about to grab a wrestling gold as well so go two golds ahead on the table and still have a lot of wrestling chances to come.

Don’t tell a certain somebody but I think we will come 6th on the table. 

Choong despite the bad fencing round yesterday makes the final! 8th place. So close for Brown finishing in 10th

Wow wow wow! A surprise gold. Definitely something we needed! Superb performance!

Thiam did a huge first throw with the javelin. Game over. 

44.64 for Kat first throw! She needed that! 

Yeah that gold chance is gone now. Needed a bigger jump but not a complete disaster at least. 

Funding funding funding funding. 

Sport climbing will definitely have exceeded. Especially if Toby matches his 2nd place qualification with a silver medal. 3 finalists is huge. 

I don’t really care what the general public think. We’ve hit the lower end of the medal target UK Sport set 

Yes it doesn’t help that Kenny predicted 8 golds but anybody who watches track cycling on a regular basis knows it was an extreme prediction. 

Absolutely useless tempo race from Hayter. 
 

Medal chance gone already because he’s done absolutely nothing. 

Is that fencing round so bad for Choong he’s completly chanceless now?

I will have to hope the horses are completly up for causing carnage. 

Sinden absolutely dominant in 1R. 

Finucane still has 2 gold chances, MHS tonight, Taekwondo to come and the girls love a Madison.

Still plenty of time but Australia just happen to have peaked at the right time and had the best games of their lives just like we did finishing 2nd in Rio. Hard to begrudge them (still hope we have enough in the tank though to finish 4th). 

Sport Climbing has started and I’ll happily admit that I have no idea what is going on when it comes to bouldering.

With speed it’s get to the top as quick as you can and lead it’s just get to the top. But bouldering… not a clue. 
 

Hopefully Toby performs to the level of his World Cup performances. 

It’s going to be one of those days isn’t it because even Fleetwood is joining in now and doesn’t fancy a podium finish.
