France a goal down to Egypt in the men's football SF. They just hit the woodwork twice from a set piece too.

Some var controversy at the end of normal time at 1-1. France that they'd get a penalty after a handball but not given I think because a (very soft) foul had been given moments before and couldn't be overturned on var.

Still France a goal and a man up in extra time

Surfing semi final featuring one of our blokes and Medina has two Brazilian judges on the panel, which is itstl. You’d think there are enough of them around to have neutrals all the way down the panel.

Surfing must be one of the longest competitions in the games, been going on over a week
And has resulted in two nobodies being in one men’s semi while 2 of the best face off in the other

Shame that conditions haven’t cooperated because it’s one of the world’s best waves

edit: at least the Aussie is in the final

He’s up against a local Tahitian who isn’t in the top 50 but obviously knows the local conditions

Yeah that wave is like nothing else when it’s even just a moderate size. And when it’s big, well. Scary.

France itself actually has surf beaches but pretty sure that the wave only pumps in winter so pretty ironic that they moved it to the other side of the world to get small surf

Should hopefully have a better second week. Lisa Carrington (five-time gold medallist) and Aimee Fisher (who's beaten her a couple of times lately) have a decent chance of going 1-2 in kayak sprint.

And I feel like most of our lot so far have been doing okay, they've just been beaten by better performances on the day.
Ellese Andrew's the favourite to get gold in the Kieran as well.

I'm not a big fan of competition surfing (it's scored and every wave is different, plus its boring as ****). Surfing is fun - watching it not so much.

That said, the French guy should have been disqualified for surfing with so much but crack showing.
