Ends up as a silver and I've hugely exceeded my quota of time allocated to watching artistic swimming for the next four years.

New Zealand are having a mare aren't they? Only 2 golds

first time i wanted a snoozer to win, but a bit of a farce, they had to lower the bar to height they and others
had already cleared. didnt barshim and tam agree to share a gold once? i spose that needs both athletes
to agree. USA finish with 34 athlete medals, but GB did well to grab a few bronzes, especially georgia
bell in what was a very fast race.

A silver and fourth in this evening's .taekwondo. Sums up GB's games a little. Good chance we'll win more medals than in London and Tokyo but come outside the top 4 by gold count for the first time since Athens.

If she needs a new challenge, Laura Kenny to be the next landlady at the Queen Vic!

If we can get a medal in both modern pentathlon and weightlifting, we'll have got medals in over 50% of the sports at the Olympics, which is a pretty decent effort.

Denise Lewis is leaving the BBC coverage! Tragedy.

She's becoming president of UK athletics right?

I wonder if they'll let KJT with her scouse accent into the heptathletes punditry club

Denise Lewis is leaving the BBC coverage! Tragedy.

She is married to a son of a now deceased (I think) comedian and game show host
