    A shout out for JJ Chalmers who is such a good commentator and Ex Marine and an inspiration for all after suffering a bomb blast in Afghanistan in 2011.

    Olympic Medal table so far, for countries that finish 4th / 5th / 6th in competitions

    rolympics - French satirical account is updating an almost-medalist table for athletes that placed 4th5th6th and Im starting to feel sorry for the Italians because they are dominating

    Good Luck to Alex Yee that he doesn't get a puncture as that has been an issue for both Tarling and Pidcock.
    It cost Tarling but Pidcock managed to overcome his setback.

    Personally think being in last place in the 1st round of your event is the worst place to finish and not being 4th in the world where you will still get good sponsors and financial backing.

    GB approaching the Men's Triathlon in a very tactical way.
    Dickinson apparently there to assist Lewisham Yee who is the best runner.
    Is Dickinson just a pace maker 🤔

    Yeah imagine qualifying for an Olympic final and basically being a pace maker for a team mate. Fair play to him, great team ethic - hopefully he gets a medal of his own in the mixed triathlon relay next week.

    Yes, Sam Dickinson did his Job and has now dropped out and saving his legs for the mixed Triathlon.

    Alex Yee now has company with Wilde from NZ

    If Wilde can keep if from here then fair play - he's got a long way to go.

    Wilde is a decent runner in triathlon terms. One hopes Yee can take him though on the run.

    Hoping Wilde has gone too early and too hard, but it's a big gap.
