A couple of questions, what is the flag on the Dutch shirts not their normal flag but blue white blue?

I think it's the Dutch Olympic Committee logo (the white bit) on a blue background rather than a blue-white-blue flag, although I agree the latter is what it looks like!

As per @Frutos above, it's the Netherlands Olympic logo on a blue background. Here is an admittedly low res capture that shows it a bit better.

Going to have to go some to catch Japan in the medal table now - not sure we can hope for two more golds?

Maybe ask the Netherlands Olympic committee.
Even the GB kit is a much different colour to previous years, I'm sure they have their reasons

It was all a misunderstanding. Melissa complained that the Brazilian had called her and asshole, but the Brazilian clarified that she'd simply said 'I can see your asshole'

Nice Olympic moment (not the arguing part but what followed), well done by the DJ.

Looking good for a medal in this diving, they all keep screwing up and Noah Williams didn’t
