Fantastic to see the Poms pipped at the post there. Our whole household sitting here death riding them was one of those wonderful family bonding moments which only the Olympic Games provides

Going better in the horsey jumping though, lead extended after the first one from France and GB. A 2 jump advantage with two left to go from each team.

Who gives a **** about the horseys though?

In horse racing we idolise the horses and rightly so, not the tiny ****ers who ride them. Thats why its stupid to have it in the olympics. The horses are obviously going to have a much larger effect on the result than the riders.

Enjoyed watching the full replay of the women’s kayak slalom. The Australian put in a perfect run, heaping the pressure on the defending champ who broke under the strain and missed a gate. Well worth watching.

Who gives a **** about half these sports.....unless you've got a chance of winning a medal of course!!

And in other news, a commentator sacked for this controversial comment about the Aussie Women's relay winning swimmers....

Bob Ballard said they were "finishing up", adding "you know what women are like... hanging around, doing their make up".

As a father of 2 daughters, can confirm this is exactly what they do!!

Well ahead in team and 2nd in individual 3 day event going into showjumping today.

Pidcock fav in the mountain biking and Daley might get another diving medal. Plus might sneak a medal in swimming tonight.
It's a pity they don't have fox hunting and pheasant shooting. You guys would also be a shoe-in for the 800m romp in the Ballyhoo.

Btw for those that don't know, former Australian captain and author of the popular book, Time To Declare, Mark "tubby" Taylor is doing the diving commentary in Australia
Tubby cbf doing any research on domestic cricket so no chance with diving

Also got an ex AFL player doing the equestrian or some other random choice
