Not sure it’s been mentioned and is from a couple of days ago, but I really enjoyed seeing that Irish guy win in the pool the other night and with such a tight finish for a long-distance event.

The most endearing thing was that once he’d covered up his Greek-God like body with his tracky and put on his thick glasses for the medal ceremony, he looked more like he’d just won first prize in a computer coding competition.

Another one representing the sound although coming from the north. Like Rory

Another rowing nailbiter.

Women's Four - Silver!

So close to Gold, but after yesterday of course it was going to be the Dutch that pipped them on the line.

Wowsers. That was some race.

Very tough QF in prospect against 3rd seeds Fritz and Paul, but if they could progress through, the non-seeded Aussie pair will be the SF opponents.

Thankfully Rajeev Ram, former No 1 doubles player with 6 Grand Slam titles, is on the other side of the draw!

34 in total, tho have to admit to not keeping abreast of how some of them have been doing

Duncan Scott, the swimmer, is Scottish I believe.

Duncan Scott, the swimmer, is Scottish I believe.

You'd be disappointed if he wasn't with a name like that.

More seriously, he is. I heard him being interviewed the other day.

There’s a Scottish shooter who’ll be competing in the 50m, who’s likely to go for gold.

Imane Khelif, a biological male, being allowed to compete in the women's boxing.

Italian Angela Carini just withdrew herself from the bout in tears. Shame on the Olympic Committee for allowing this to happen.

Rowing not quite going to plan again, thought we were favs for both the mens and womens 4's??

At this stage think we are a fair bit down on our medal projections and struggling to match our totals from the last 3 games.

FWIW this was an independent projection by Gracenote but we are down on swimming and rowing to date....
