Vargas through to the final

OMG!!! Finally we are back at the Olympics!!! First Irish showjumping team since Athens 2004. What a ridiculous sentence but true. So so so many times we missed out by one place and a time penalty or hundredths of a second and last time we had the debacle of a steward running in front of our horse meaning we missed out on time. So let me let out years of pent up frustration...... YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! Feel so sorry for Italy, I know how it feels. But it was finally our turn, after 16 years of waiting!!

Yeah, and who knew that anger could be the new performance enhancing revolution of the 21st century. She really just made herself more suspicious with her behaviour post race. People owe her nothing, why should she be spared scrutiny?

Ahh crap, no worries.... thanks anyway for your informative posts.

OMG really? This just cheered me right up! Yesss Megan!!

Damn, so close

Obiri!!! What a class act.

Yeah it's really crap to be honest. Schedules should always be spaced out as best as possible so that athletes are encouraged to try to double up. Hassan though did a special double here which was nice to see.

There's always the men's marathon

I'm half-expecting Hassan to try to sneak onto the 5000m start line too

That shot put was just insane! As was the W 1500m! What a day to be alive

New PB for Ciara Mageean... awesome, can't ask for more

Let's go Ciara

always appeal everything so we will see

September 2019 - A record breaking month September 2019 was certainly a month where us Totallympians have outdone ourselves, setting the forum alight with multiple new records and top 10 all-time placings!! Where to begin?? In terms of the month of September, this was the busiest September in the history of the forum (2016 era onwards). The previous record of 6564 set in September 2018 was smashed with the new September record post total standing at a whopping 9676 posts!! That's an extra 3000+ posts added on to the previous best, very impressive! September 2019 is now the 4th busiest month in terms of posts in the new forum's history. The real story of our success though comes in the closing days of the month. September 28th, 29th and 30th all take places in the Top 4 days in 2019 in terms of post count (excludes TISC Grand Final days), with September 29th the new record for the year with a total of 928 for the day! But that only tells half the story..... September 29th and September 28th also make it onto the Top 10 on the All-Time list (9th and 10th place respectively) surpassing even very busy days set during the 2018 Winter Olympics. Incredible!! In fact, outside of Olympic days or TISC Grand Final days, those are the 2 busiest days ever seen on the forum in terms of post count! New Record Alert!!

Keep watching, at this rate you will be fluent by Tokyo 2020

He was 4th I think

BBC ended coverage as soon as Bosworth finished.

The medals and the colours look decided now.

Ugh, they are really bad at keeping us up to date in terms of the gaps between the leading athletes or who they are!

Bosworth looks like he is about to give birth!

Wilkinson has a 3rd red card now.

Is Linke in 6th? Either he is a lap behind or his chip isn't registering? I think it might be the chip not working.
