Correct but at the same time I don't see why the rules need to be changed.

Before she took up high jumping I believe she was a noted sack racer.

Although it's a long time now since the US was an Olympic boxing power. We used to see a carve up of the golds between the US and Cuba but those days are long gone. Cuba is still pretty strong but less do than they used to be.

Is it my imagination or are there more split decisions than normal?

Looks like one of those sequences they use in IQ tests where they ask what comes next.

Added to the emergence of Emma Finucane. They've also recently revamped the order in which they ride and that seems to have worked well for them.

Although the first time they've ever won a medal in this event.

That's a good point. There's also a little more strength in depth at the top level. You can't get away with having a weaker rider in your team any more if you want to win medals.

You're way behind with the technology. They're now located in the knees of the riders.

Four WRs in the women's team sprint in one session. The Beeb have Laura Kenny in the studio and before competition began she said this was a very fast velodrome because its shape causes the air movement created by the cyclists to remain down at track level aiding the riders.

I'm pretty sure I remember VAR being used at this year's European Shotgun Championships which may have been the last qualifying event for Paris for Europeans. Is it perhaps just a case of them not being used at the Olympics. The only reason for that that I can think of is that the IOC/TV doesn't like delays in the action.

That's everyone bar Greece. Still unhappy about the hotel service on your last vacation?

qualify in 4th There's shoot off for bibs 1–3 between and Spots 5–6 are a shoot off between and

Rowing the speed skating of the Summer Games!!

Didn't he bother to steer the boat then?

After just two medals and six 4th places in Tokyo GB Rowing are back with eight medals and just one 4th place!

Has an athlete ever won Olympic medals in both men's and women's events at the Games before? If not, then Henry Fieldman has just become the first to do so after coxing GB's women's eight. He did the same for the men in Tokyo.

In which case they're wasting their money as they'd win most events anyway. I think the real problem is that the judges have got into a mindset that Chinese divers don't make mistakes even when they do. Somehow they can't bring themselves to acknowledge this and where they would mark down other divers for similar mistakes they are much more lenient with the few Chinese errors as we saw a couple of times yesterday. Normally it doesn't matter because they're so far ahead of the rest of the field but yesterday it did and it likely deprived Mexico of a deserved gold medal.

The score for their second compulsory dive was also too high as it was far from perfect. Mexico should have had the gold. This event does show the Chinese are beatable it you can deliver high tariff dives and they make a mistake or two even if they are not serious ones. The three medallists were covered by less than eight points in the end.

Are Ben Maher and Scott Brash feeling happy but a little older today. In 2012 they won team gold alongside Peter Charles. Twelve years later they win gold alongside his son Harry.

It seems Andy Murray will be in LA after all in the new sport of synchronised tennis.

Oh, Yee of little faith!

He spent 30 seconds longer than Yee in the strong currents of the Seine and then had to work hard to catch up on the bike. With all that extra energy expended I guess he had nothing left in the tank.

Quad four sculler Hannah Scott is the first woman from Northern Ireland to win a gold medal since 1972 in Munich.

And Northern Irish athletes are apparently like buses as after decades of waiting for another gold medal three come along within 24 hours after sculler Hannah Scott was part of the winning crew in the women's quad fours.
