None taken, you must be post Mickey Adams…and Jonathan Callieri

Kenny must have been drunk when she said we would get 9 golds in the track. Looks like a grand total of 1.

Looked pretty promising after the first team sprint n all.

 

[ManOfSussex]

This is how to celebrate a gold medal.

 

[de la zouch]

Is it Keir Starmer's fault that we've been pipped to silver in so many events?

No, it was clearly Rishi’s fault.

 

[AZ Gull]

They'll run at the same time. KJT will need to finish 7* seconds quicker to win.

*I haven't actually seen the exact figure yet

Can anyone let me know at what time this event is likely to happen please?

 

[Muzzman]

Can anyone let me know at what time this event is likely to happen please?

I think they said 7:10pm

EDIT: The 800m takes place at 19:25 BST, with live coverage across BBC platforms.

Do weight lifters have totally f***ed bodies later in life?

Do weight lifters have totally f***ed bodies later in life?

Not particularly more than any elite-level sports, I don't think. The tekkers applied by them at this level is spot on.

 

[Triggaaar]

Bulgarian breaks the world record in weightlifting.

On a separate note, are they bothering with drug tests at all in this Olympics?

 

[Change at Barnham]

I’m obviously surrounded by frogs who were very happy to 1-0 up after 12 mins.
Due to my wish of wanting Mateta and Olise both to fail I was extremely happy to see Spain fire in 3 goals in the next 15 minutes.
Come on Spain!

Silver in the Women's Madison

 

[Weststander]

Great effort.

Barker and Evans were in gold position, but according to Boardman expended energy scrapping for the odd point or two. Whilst the Italians went for the big points mid race.

Complicated to watch and participate in!

 

[Questions]

Love the velodrome but the Madison is shit

 

[kojak]

Bulgarian breaks the world record in weightlifting.

On a separate note, are they bothering with drug tests at all in this Olympics?

Well they didn't bother for the opening ceremony
So at a guess, no

 

[KZNSeagull]

Silver in the 100m Women's relay but we should have won really. Poor changeovers.

 

[Weststander]

That last changeover. Would’ve been gold?

 

[KZNSeagull]

That last handover. Would’ve been gold?

Second and third were both poor. Neita had to slow right down. Better than nowt though

 

[Grizz]

I dunno, the Americans had poor changeovers as well, so you can't really say it would've been Gold. Was a good opportunity, but Silver is an upgrade on last year's Bronze.

That’s exactly the point because the Americans had poor changeovers, if we’d got our baton round better we’d have had gold.

Carlin could have blown his bronze medal chance, with a warning already it’s hard to see him not being DQd now.
