    OK. Today has officially been rated "Pretty good"

    And a Special Jury Prize for most convoluted excuses is unanimously awarded to......

    VdPoel stays in the pits.

    Incredible last Chinese dive, but lower degree of difficulty - Gold GBR!

    Chinese mess up* *By Chinese standards.

    Damn that NBC, obviously the canoe slalom semis are being specially timed for the US primetime market.

    Up to 6th on the medal table. Apart from the usual suspects, medals are being distributed around lots of nations at the moment.

    Peaty got a great start: game over.

    Not quite. McNeill brought her arm round as part of her stroke & hit the wall. The others stopped their stroke, effectively braked & pushed towards the wall.

    For sure, that is what extreme dehydration looks like.

    Made this point before, but in swimming it is absolutely crucial to time your last stroke to hit the wall.

    Incredible sprint from Blummenfelt.

    Water guys adopting dramatic poses.

    And in such a glamorous place! We hear so much about Japanese aesthetics.

    Salvisberg looks exhausted 400m into the run.

    Looks like Kiesenhofer created a kind of vortex that has absorbed all of Austria’s sporting good luck for this Olympics.

    They have been in the past: hard to tell now. Alex Yee was a European 10,000m U-20 Champion.

    Swimmers pretty well distanced.

    The sport is high quality - nothing else is.

    It’s not a case of ignoring teams sports, women’s football & hockey apart. It’s that there is absolutely no way to create a team that even qualifies for the Olympics in a sport that does not have a domestic professional league. Such a league would have to do well in European club competitions, sell players to other pro leagues, have a large fan base etc etc. Only ice hockey has managed this over the last decade.

    You just have to make sure it also involves medal ceremonies. Success is the best revenge.
  22. Grassmarket
    Reassuring to know that there's a lifeguard on duty at the swimming pool. You never know.
  23. Grassmarket
    First medal! Watch for the avalanche!
  24. Grassmarket
    Bronze for !

    It once cost Robert Millar the Vuelta. He had chased down a break of Spanish riders, caught the remnants, and none of the other guys told them there was still another Spanish rider down the road.
