  • that Australian called 'Raygun' reminded me of an amateur trying to do breakdancing whilst not really achieving much at all. looked so out of place. she just rolled around the floor. 

    my wife thought it looked like one of those tv shows with a pro dancer teaching a celebrity to dance
  • the French lass she was against absolutely rinsed her as well.

    these Chinese girls are impressive, that gymnastics base will shine through

    Raygun looked like she's a 'cool' aunt that once took a dance class and listens to world music on Spotify. Bizarre 
    Or maybe Carter put her up to it when they were in the Sweeney?

    It was surreal. I half expect her to be revealed as a 'Rob and Romesh vs' type comedian from Oz. 
  • Spain 3-1 up in the gold medal match against France. Not even half time yet.

    Two days to go and I’ve managed to watch not a single solitary minute (well other than the clip in you tube of the funny Walker woman who celebrated too early and got passed on the line). 
  • Can someone just summarise what the fudge is going on in this cycling flinging ride?
  • I haven't got a clue what's happening in this Maddison thing 
  • Italians are winning, but Netherlands can win gold on the last sprint as it's worth double 
  • Silver for Team GB it seems from that final sprint?

  • We make a late surge and win the final sprint, grabbing silver in the process 
  • Great silver just using the sprints 
  • It was confusing enough watching on TV with commentary, I can't imagine watching this live!

    Our tactics seemed a bit off, but a great final sprint to get the silver. 
  • I think we needed to take a lap if we were to have any chance at gold, but taking a lap essentially eliminates you from the sprints as it takes a lot out of you

    What do you want, a medal?

    I think we missed a trick not going to the 20 points. I knew the Netherlands did and only got bronze but it seems mad not to go for it early on & then just pick up a few 1's & 2's in the sprints.

    I think we wasted too much  energy on 2 lap sprints anyway. Too much energy unless you get 3 points

    I would like KJT to win the gold obviously but, given all her previous Olympic traumas, I just hope she can actually get a medal of whatever hue.
    Same here, really hope she can get a medal. First saw her at London 2012 and have always looked out for her results since.

    Apparently it's organised chaos according to Neah Evans who tagged Elinor Barker who surged on the finals laps to grab silver instead of Bronze.

    We were marked targets, the other big teams wouldn't let us go for 20pts. Everyone else would just put in more effort making a break away almost impossible.

    We were being marked too closely to have any chance of the lap

    It's tag-team wrestling but on bikes. There are two of them in the team but only one's racing, the other just circles round slowly taking a breather. They tag each other when they're swapping who's doing the racing. Usually they do a hand-sling where the one who's currently active gives the other one a bit of a push when they hand over, but they're not obliged to do that.

    Commentators hate it because half the riders need to be ignored, but they're wearing the same kit as the others. It's very popular at track cycling meets due to the potential for complete carnage.
  • Merde, il pleut at the athletics 
  • What a mess we made of that.
  • Feels like that should've been a gold. Got off to a flyer.
  • GB's 2nd fastest 4x100 ever with 2 shocking handovers
  • Looked like two bad change overs!!
  • Could def have won with better changeovers but let’s hope we’re not DQd. 
  • What a mess we made of that.

    They ran so well but two iffy exchanges probably cost the Gold as Neita would've been in the lead on the final hand over and had a great chance of Victory.
