    Blimey, if you thought Alex Yee's comeback was phenomenal, the women's quadruple sculls have him beat.

    That finish in the women's quad sculls was the best gold medal winning finish since ... *checks notes* ... a few minutes ago when Alex Yee won the triathlon

    Brilliant!

    I love the Olympics. So much rubbish in the world going on at the moment but the joy of sport is amazing and an escape.

    I love that we’re just teasing these other nations - Yee leaving it to the final couple hundred metres and our women rowers leaving it until literally the last stroke!

    Think we’ve won our golds in six different sports:

    - shooting
    - ⁠swimming
    - ⁠rowing
    - ⁠triathlon 
    - ⁠equestrian
    - ⁠mountain biking

  • What sort of twat arranges a flipping two hour Teams meeting during the Olympics? Not even possible to have it on in the background today ffs!

    I need to have words with my colleague! 

    Worse still I have 8 days of online training, 9-5, starting next week thanks to my, non sport loving, idiot of a manager booking me on without even consulting me on whether I was even going to be around for it. Sadly I am, but it's knackered any plans to keep an eye on the track & field heats. Idiot.

    So near yet so far for the Men Quadruple sculls with a 4th place.

    Triumph and disaster and we don't treat these imposters the same BUT it is Sport which is great to experience with the craziness going on in the world and the heartbreak of Southport.

    Best 1st week I can remember for GB.

    Would rather have our six than China’s 800 gold medals in diving or whatever it is!

    From what I've seen their dives have been superb.  The ones who beat Daley and Williams were unbelievably good.
