    France pull one back with 10 minutes to go in the football.

    Looks like another Yellow card for GB Carlin in the deciding race for Bronze.

    Carlin aiming for a career as a Deliveroo rider, cutting up other traffic to get through.

    Our guy ran from 6th to 3rd, another 20m or so and we'd have gold I think, he was absolutely steaming along

    Michael Johnson pretty scathing of the US relay team.

    What a lucky bastard! I'm glad the Boxing judges weren't adjudicating on the cycling  :D

    Spanish guy absolutely rugby tackled him to the floor, that's a penalty that will be given a lot this coming season, bet Pearce is glad he's retired

    Spain hit the bar in the 96th minute

    The USA men have cocked up so many times in the sprint relay when they should win and this time it gave GB a bonus Bronze.

    Has the women's result stood?

    Two big slices of luck in the last few minutes, to balance out some of the bad in some other events. What we need now is a gold. KJT has an outside chance 🤞🤞

    Not quite sure how Carlin didn't get another Yellow but he didn't and had a great last sprint to take the Bronze.

    Very funny that the US men’s relay got disqualified AGAIN

    Paulino hot favourite in 400m.

    Again they're talking our athlete up hugely in the 400m final, and she's way behind! 

    Is it written into the contracts that they have to declare us as medal winners before anything has happened?

    Great silver just using the sprints 
    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. 
    The Italians timed their break really cleverly, in that they were half a lap up for one of the sprints so got the 5 points for that without having to break a sweat, and then joined the back of the race not long after to get the 20 points.

    So we need KJT to be like the Italian out in front of the first heat, and the Belgian to be like the Aussie right at the back

    Will KJT try to stick with Hall ?

    I dunno, because she might go out too fast and blow herself up

    All Thiam needs to do is stay within about 30m

    At her 4th time of trying Kat JT has a medal at an Olympics. Excellent Silver but Nafi Thiam is a 3 time Gold Olympic champion in the Heptathlon. The nearest thing to a weak event for Thiam was the 800m !

    Well done KJT. A PB is all you can really ask for in that last race.

    Amazing run from KJT, just too much to make up in that 800. Great silver behind the unbeatable Thiam.
