How don't the Yanks win every shooting event? I mean, you know...

Need to put little kids as the targets and they would

I don't think there's an AR-15 event

Nah can't even hit Trump from 150 yards. And he's a large target.

Not the shooter's fault though; God moved Trump's head at the last second.

Madi Levi is ridiculous, not the best piece of defending from the Canadian winger, but that was pretty rapid. 12th try of the tournament.

Nz v Aus tonight (presumably) will be another epic.

So Amy Wilson Hardy has been withdrawn from the GB rugby squad 'on medical grounds', following an investigation into allegedly racist message that she had sent on WhatsApp.

Great commentary from the Aussie in the shooting

“He deserved better”

ah, he missed the most

Definitely a case of The Almighty moving in mysterious ways.

Some of the biased commentary is cringeworthy at times no matter what nation it is.

I'd love to see American commentary of Mary Decker and Zola Budd in 84.

The USA press's response to Decker's post-run interview will give you a clue.

Decker herself was terrible

Australia choking

Way too many soft penalties gifting that one to Canada.

Edit: not a ref whinge, a criticism of the team.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I'm watching the shooting, about to get gold by look of it

 

[ripper868]

ok, maybe a ref whinge there, totally dominated that ruck and got pinged for it...

That is incredible from T. Levi if shes held her up.

Edit: nope, Aus going out here.

You are? Good effort mate.

Wow, massive upset by Canada.

That was horrendous from Australia

Gold for GB
Silver China
Bronze for Guatemala

Clay pigeon shooting

Well done Canada, thought that was well and truly cooked at 12-0, huge try at half time. Aus had their minds on the final before they made it (I did too tbh).

They don't get medals but gold/silver/bronze flat caps.
