Loving the skateboarding atm………atmosphere between the girls is just fantastic, all just living their best lives. Never seen so much smiling amongst competing sportspeople.

Can you be a drug cheat at diving
7 hour wait, and then the water splashes went and obscured all of the paddlers' faces. He's going to be fuming.

What is going on here? I don't understand.
Anyone?
Two girls one wall?
Now 3 girls.
Anyone?

Now 3 girls.
4 walls, 4 girls, they each have a bash at each wall on rotation with max 25 points for each (I think - first time I’ve seen it but I’ll be an expert in about 15 minutes obviously
)
Sounds like one of @El Presidente 's exotic DVDs
Well I just watch one deftly do the splits whilst showing incredible strength and dexterity with her fingers………..

I can’t help thinking it would be fun if Eurosport swapped their commentators for dressage and skateboarding

Another bronze for Sky Brown! 
It's lovely...like the girls are a team and the course is the opponent.

The Skateboarding was exceptional, the final run improvements were superb, each rider putting pressure on the next and eliciting a response. Brilliant and such a genuine Olympic spirit between all the competitors. This was the content we came here for.

Awesome skills from such young participants, no fear
That's been a bit indicative of a lot of the sports I thought. A lot of good sportsmanship.

i understand the reasons why (money) but I am very disappointed in BBC coverage so far. With only two live channels (one on Iplayer) they keep having to chop and change. Its very hard to get a feel for anything. Its almost just a succession of GB highlights. Take the track cycling for example- they show one heat, come away, show something else entirley, go back and show a catch up of what s been missed. show soething live, and repeat . its difficult to get "into" it

Men's Team Sprint - Silver. 
Losing to a WR isn't too bad though.
