    We've already got Bronze in Women's Diving, unless you mean its the first Henderson has ever achieved?

    This Aussie has just been brilliant!!
  • Silver! Get in there. Think she took that last corner a little gingerly.

    Is the Kayak Cross taking place on the Champs Elysees? With all this rain, it should be deep enough by then.

    Incredible difference between Brown and the rest. The time difference between her and Henderson was more than that between Henderson and the next dozen riders.

    Fiji through to the final of the rugby 7s after smashing the Aussies. They now face France in the final, they have never lost a 7s match in the Olympics.

    Bit of a controversial way to get the first gold medal
    I would have thought the US would win it hands down.

    Touch of good fortune in the colour of both medals won so far, which helps and bodes well. Aussies screw up in the diving from being in silver, and Dygert came off when in silver position, which ultimately cost her. That's not to take anything away from the achievements of the three women to win medals for team GB so far, but it goes to show what feeling the pressure can do I guess.

    FFS... Tarling requires a bike change during his TT, that's probably buggered his hopes

    Doesnt seem out of it, given the Split that we get in the middle of the circuit.

    This is going to be so frustrating for Tarling, looks like he'd be on for Gold if he didnt have to change his bike - Might not be out of it yet, but cant see him getting on the top step

    I know it must be difficult talking for all that time but Christim Boredman is like broken record, 'go left into the first bend, UCI don't like the helmets, haven't seen a front disc wheel since the eightees'... Rinse and repeat.

    Tarling did great. Such a shame about the crash.

    gutted for Tarling. 

    didn't see one other rider experience a puncture.

    Glad for van Aert to get bronze

    Although would have been amusing had he got silver, given his habit for finishing second in Sprints

    Rigged. Ref gave some soft decisions too Fiji in the first half to make it look like he was being fair. second half all to France.

    also bit of a coincidence that Tarling had to change his bike in front of a restaurant called "Le Repaire"
