Bound to be there or thereabouts in the cycling. Sinden in the Taekwondo?
Both divers probably out of medal contention then. Laugher was well placed but has made an absolute mess of his third dive.
Diving is brutal. We went yesterday and a poor American diver on her very first dive hit the board on the way down and thus wrecked her chance of qualifying. Imagine training for four years and making one mistake on your first dive and wrecking your chances. Must be so hard mentally.

There was the Mexican woman this morning who completely messed up, her feet hitting the water first which meant that she scored 0. Devastating.
She complained that she was put off by the crowd as well but there wasn't enough to re-dive. So gutting for her.

Sinden will fight for bronze.
Ellie Aldridge (kite surfing) is getting closer to a medal - if she wins this race she wins gold.
Edit: Clearly she did!

Yup. Had to go to two screens for that, both happening at the same time.

And to think there were a few recent arrivals to this thread that said we weren't doing well.
Why does Taekwondo remind me of men fighting outside football matches.

No plastic chairs though thankfully

They need a doubles version, with someone 'holding' each fighter back.

And she thrashed the French woman as an added bonus!That was brilliant in the Kitefoil, a Brit who got the tactics spot on in the sailing

Clearly the camera operators and director are totally confused by the Omnium Cycling. Aren't we all.
