Gold no. 15 for Dame Sarah Storey!

And guaranteed our first medal!

What a great table tennis match between Iwaubchi and Facey-Thompson, thoroughly enjoyed it

Channel 4 confirmed they will broadcast the Games in their entirety

Yes I do think he's clean there's no good proof he's not

GB did better than expected all things considered. Rowing was a big disappointment, and athletics could have been better, but overall we had some gold medals come that weren't really expected, and our teams did well in Sailing, Modern pentathlon, BMX Racing, BMX Freestyle, and Equestrian. Each Olympics is expected to be the one where we 'drop off' from our London 2012 'bounce', and it keeps not happening. I predict that at Paris 2024, we are told that Britain will have a medal target of 40 with 12 golds, and then get 60+ again. Coming 4th in the medal table is very nice - I can't imagine Japan go anywhere near as well as they do in 2024, especially with Baseball/Softball and Karate gone. Their wrestling and Judo teams won't repeat the performance in Paris, I'd imagine.

In swimming we won four gold medals... one of them was Adam Peaty and another a relay with Peaty in it, is he doping? And then Thomas Dean and James Guy got the 1-2 and won the relay? Are they doping? Is it that crazy to have five or six good athletes pop up when you inject an extra £30m, that wasn't showing up before?

Lottery funding

The thing is, when talking about football or F1, I already have places to talk about that. So I usually use this when multi-sport games are on, or sports more associated with the Olympics like athletics or swimming have major champs I will watch. I guess I see this as an Olympics forum, before I see it as a sports forum

I go into hibernation until the next one

1976

In general I think Totallympics did a great job. When it crashed during the first softball game I thought 'oh no, not again' but it stayed up very well generally. And the discussion was of a high quality even with the usual controversial topics, it's great to talk to regular fans of sports I only watch once every four years at the Olympics. I could help with a forum as well, I think the community is big enough for it and there's a lot of interest in the Olympics

I like them too tbh. They are more "Greek" and "Olympic". The Rio 2016 ones they tried to sound "Brazilian", but these ones sound timeless and could be used for any Games

That was amazing, Jason Kenny

Probably Galal Yafai or Joseph Choong who won gold yesterday?

I've watched a ridiculous (unhealthy) amount of the Olympics, and I'm probably glad to see the back of it for a bit (until the Paralympics start) Because nothing else is on and I'm a student and uni is off, I could pretty much watch the whole thing without interruption, the only exception was on Day 9 when I had to go out and missed the Afternoon session. In reality there was no reason to get up to watch Women's Softball on Day -2 and there was no reason to get up early for sports I didn't care about it, but I had to because it's the Olympics . I realised a few days before the end I could start sleeping through the morning session and pretty much miss nothing. So I only missed watching two British gold medals live - Max Whitlock in the Gymnastics cause I was out and Galal Yafai in boxing which I slept through, which is ridiculous no-lifery. Sleeping from 5pm to 12am was a new experience, hopefully Paris will be a bit different. Every Olympics before this I've told myself I'm going to watch as much as possible, then for some reason or other stop caring as much after about a week, this time I've actually done it, and now I'm just sad it's over with nothing I really care about on

Champions of Women's Modern Pentathlon, you'll never sing that

I don't know what the hell was going on today, but I just know that this race is brilliant

Interestingly, everyone seems to be an expert on this sport now, calling it a disgrace and everything, that their country's athlete has been "robbed" by the horse. I wonder if anyone who watches this regularly can tell me how true this is. Some of it just seems like bad control of the horse to me.

Obviously this is a farce. Thomas Bach OLY, 1976 Fencing champion, will not stand for this. Therefore, the Modern Pentathlon at the 2024 Olympics will be changed: Rocket League, FIFA, League of Legends, DOTA, Super Smash Bros.

Why does a fence say Rio 2016?

The winner is... the Refugee E-sports Team!!!

Olympics website has now added this ominous disclaimer. Thomas Bach, Fencing Champion, 1976, will declare that there will be a breakdancing play-off to decide who goes to the final.

True, but that's not relevant to the rules
