Woman's badminton final is on. All china affair. The story seems to be the number 1 seeds have won everything but the Olympic gold in their career and now a new team a few years younger than them have stormed onto the scene and threatens to take their place

why do they want the cyclocross in the winter olympics, the two best in the world are about to do a duo race for the last 50k for the normal road race gold

3 out of 4 kayakers through easily in the kayak cross, but Adam Burgess has a mare and finished a comfortable 4th in his heat

Holy **** imagine getting a puncture 3km from the finish of a 270km race when you're cruising to victory. The stress must be out of this world

Womens 200IM probably sums up the American pool meet this games. Alex Walsh leaving until the last moments when pipped by Canadian teen sensation Summer McIntosh. Then turns out she has been dq'd for an illegal turn.

McIntosh with 3 golds, would be star of the pool if not for a certain French guy.

Talking about carrying on to Paris so that his daughter could watch him compete 😢

Ireland having a strong games, 3 golds with more chances to come
I wonder if there's a few athletes who have gone on one Games too far because they didn't want a COVID games in Tokyo to be their last Olympic memory.

Maybe, although in fairness to Whitlock he still came fourth, and helped GB to fourth in the team as well, so he wasn't exactly a spent force but suspect you're right that there are a few.

Yeah, I think you've got to look at people who were world class athletes in 2021 who aren't now, I'm sure there's some of them but Whitlock definitely isn't one of them.
