Looks like China have pulled it out the bag on the last dive in the springboard.0

China’s diving, across pretty much every discipline, is absolutely incredible0
-
yeah just watching the diving, China are absolutely unbelievable0
-
Looks like we're guaranteed a medal in the diving , just down to the Mexicans as to if it's silver or bronze.0

3 metre springboard
Jack Laugher + Anthony Harding dived well but take the bronze behind the Mexicans and the all conquering Chinese on the Diving board in these Olympics.
Not sure how the mexicans didn't win with their last dive ?
The lovely Ex diver Tonia Couch just agreed with me.

The female rowing commentator has the most annoying high-pitched schreech of a voice. I'm sure I recognise it from football on the BBC. I have to turn the volume down or off when it's her commentating.Hal1x said:Just won a silver in the rowing, with the world's most annoying BBC commentary team who gave it to the UK at 200m.
Actually I feel the standard of BBC commentators has been pish-poor this year, and I really cant see how Jeanette Kwakye warrants a sofa position. Shes no Des Lynham, more Des O'Connor with her fake laughter.3 -
My daughter has just scored 9.57 on the trampoline. In with a shout for a medal. Or some Haribo.
Glad I bought one.0 -
3rd in our 4x100 mixed medley relay. Those events are utterly superb.0

Silver and bronze rush since the early success.
Clear favourites but Grant and Craig still have to do it on the day in the lightweight women's double sculls after their last defeat in Tokyo.0 - Sponsored links:

Feel like this pair have been bigged up too much
Come on girls - bring it home0 -
The rowing commentary hurts the ears. Agree about some of the other commentators - the tennis twosome have been a little err biased in their coverage of Andy's swansong performances.Hal1x said:Just won a silver in the rowing, with the world's most annoying BBC commentary team who gave it to the UK at 200m.

I do like the boxing team though and the gymnastics trio are a blast - Matt Baker trying to be upbeat whilst chatting away to a bloke who sounds like Johnny Vegas and being put in his place by the all knowing 'Chris' who has that same dead pan put down about detail as Esme Young on Sewing Bee.0 -
Paul O'Donovan and Fintan McCarthy win gold, this was the reaction in their hometown of Skibbereen:

Indeed, just the 796 public swimming pools to train at, including 53 that are Olympic length (50m).Friend Or Defoe said:Impressive how well we've done in the swimming with the lack of facilities we have.2 -
Presenting and commentating on sport is something which looks easy, until you see it done badly, when you realise how good the likes of Des Lynam and Barry Davies were.Hal1x said:Just won a silver in the rowing, with the world's most annoying BBC commentary team who gave it to the UK at 200m.

As an aside, when I see some of the football presenters out there now, it baffles me how Scott Minto ended up doing Charlton TV, when he's much better than many of the ones on regular TV3 -
Minimum of silver in the girls trampoline. Page in 1st with one athlete left. (I think).0

Guaranteed medal for Bryony Page in the Trampolining, it's just if it's Gold or Silver.0
