Ironically they were born within 60 miles of each other as Noakes is from south-east England like Coombs.

You seem to be very confused. The scores are determined by the independent officials not the competitors or those associated with them. You've accused the Iranians of cheating but haven't explained exactly how they did this. The officials may have got it wrong but that's not the fault of the Iranians.

How does that make the Iranian archers "cheats"? The officials make these decisions not the competitors.

A pity about Dan Bethell. At least the other badminton final this evening is an all-British match up.

This is where you need Brian Hanrahan.

I hope that isn't a negative comment about Mrs Grassmarket! 😃

The Telegraph is currently having a breakdown after the recent General Election results.

So you did have time but you chose to use it for a different purpose!

It's inseine, particularly after some of the athletes at the OG were left ill after competing in the same water. I know a nice rowing lake they could use instead.

Nerve wracking win for defending champion Phoebe Paterson Pine in the women's ind compound archery event. Needed to get 10s with her last two arrows for a wafer thin 142–141 win. Raining at the venue which isn't making things any easier.

Yes. McLean was just the pilot not the rider who determined the speed of the bike. Indeed Fachie has gone faster with smaller pilots than he did with McLean. The tandem bike can only go as fast as the slowest of the two riders.

Have you tried the Channel 4 YouTube coverage.

Not clear why you think that.

Terry Bywater (wheelchair basketball) and Lucy Shuker (wheelchair tennis) are the flagbearers at the opening ceremony. GB has six athletes in Paris with seven or more appearances at the PG. Sarah Storey made her debut way back in 1992, while Jeannette Chippington made her's even earlier in Seoul in 1988. She like Storey and Jody Cundy started out as swimmers before switching to other sports. Sarah Storey - 9 Jeanette Chippington - 8 Jody Cundy - 8 Terry Bywater - 7 "Discus" Dan Greaves - 7 David Weir - 7

Our strength in depth in rowing as opposed to sculls in the Olympics boats looks set to continue with five golds. Hopefully the top U23s can be integrated into the squad as seamlessly as possible once they know which members of the team in Paris plan to continue onto LA.
