Indeed. A great effort, a new British record and a silver medal. Much to praise there.

Ingebrigtsen tried to run the finish out of Kerr who's got the better sprint of the two of them, but ran out of steam himself. And Kerr was beaten by Hocker who has the better sprint, but was allowed up in the inside lane saving vital distance on Kerr who ran wider.

Kerr v Ingebrigtsen. WR coming up? Very fast pace already. Wow! What a shock result!!! 😲 Hocker was even checked with about 100m to go, then went up the inside. Kerr - British Record and Silver medal. 🥈

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

Guaranteed medal in the Men's Team Sprint. Gold medal race - GB v Netherlands - at 7:10pm.

Another bronze for Sky Brown! 🥉

Me too. I was in the Athens stadium 20 years ago for both of Kelly's golds in 2004. Unforgettable moments. Ended up seeing 7 out of the 9 golds for GB - cycling (Hoy and Wiggins), equestrian (Law), rowing (Pinsent's 4th) and the athletics (4 x 100m). The only ones missed were the 2 sailing...

Not recently in all likelihood, but here's the reason given: "Duplantis usually divides his year between winters in Louisiana and summers in Uppsala in Sweden, adapted for when the two climates offer the best possibilities for training." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armand_Duplantis

Swedish-American. But I'd rather Sweden got his gold medals than America. :) "After winning the Jerringpriset as the most popular athlete in Sweden in 2020, Duplantis expressed relief that the Swedish public had accepted and embraced him. During said Olympics, Duplantis also stated that his...

Hope you enjoyed that Swanny! Another World Record for Mondo. :bowdown:

Straight to the front where she rules. Never in doubt. Gold! 🥇

In the bar rather than on it?

Molly Caudery out of the pole vault after 3 successive failures in qualification. Set the bar too high to start with. A decent chance of a medal gone.

It's Monday morning. Time for some 1974 disco!

Finesse and reliability at the crease. You don't get to 100 Tests over 13 years with an average in the mid 40s without being able to play.

Well, it's not the gold, but the sprint in just put her in front of the American. Triathlon Mixed Team Relay - Silver. 🥈

Group of 3 together at the start of the final 1.8km run.

8:06 on BBC Sport live text: "Gold medallist Alex Yee has turned into the Team GB hype man after doing the first leg. He's down in front of me on Pont Alexandre III at the finish line, triathlon suit half down, screaming for his team-mates." I love this guy.
