The road race was the only realistic chance (10m is not Seonaid's event, she basically used it for warm up), and in the end, despite Calamity Thomas eating gravel AGAIN, both the yates twins and Dan Martin of Ireland were in the pointy end of the race - Perhaps losing Thomas reduced the ability to break up that big group earlier, but the Yates twins at the sharp end was a perfectly defensible result. Podagar and WvA are ridiculously strong, while Carapaz is an absolute rascal. Other than that, no-one expected anything at the judo, getting to the quarters in the archery was actually slight overachievement, the swimmers seem to be off to a decent start, the tennis results for the men's doubles were fantastic, and both Drinkhall in the TT and the XD in badminton won what they were supposed to.
McGrail's loss was disappointing, but no shock if you saw him at the Euro qualifiers.
Good wins in Soccer, hockey
In the gymnstics, given the shambles the sport is in, their secure 5th place team result, Whitlock and Fraser in their respective apparatus finals, and Fraser generally very strong on AA represents an acceptable return. If whitlock brings back silver or better, the works done in terms of justifying the sport.
The rowing, however......
