[hart's shirt]

GB Mixed Relay now which contains our own Amber Anning.

Amber went to BHASVIC and runs for Brighton and Hove AC at Withdean.

And she did so well! Bol was always going to go past her, but getting past the Belgian was the moment.

Bronze!

 

[Frutos]

Bronze in the 4x400m mixed relay.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Femke Bol, the Flying DutchWoman. That was amazing, good bronze for the Brits in the end.

 

[Triggaaar]

I find it funny watching the swimmers after their racing, opening an closing their mouths like a goldfish

 

[Frutos]

What a run from Julien Alfred.

Saint Lucia's first ever Olympic medal.

 

[Grizz]

And hats off to Daryl Neita, best place finish, 4th, in the 100m final for donkeys according to the commentators.

 

[hart's shirt]

St Lucia should name a beachside leisure centre after her.

Queen Alfred.

 

[AZ Gull]

And hats off to Daryl Neita, best place finish, 4th, in the 100m final for donkeys according to the commentators.

That's a terrible way to refer to our female sprinters.

 

[Flounce]

That's a terrible way to refer to our female sprinters.

It is, unless she’s a Palace fan

Did they really say that?

 

[hart's shirt]

Canada lose to Germany on penalties.

At least they won't drone on about it.

Just got back from Paris. Had a blast. Highly recommend the Parc Du Nations in Vallette as you get to sample so many countries Olympics through the national houses. The Dutch House is insane the Club France very impressive. So many other free or cheap activities I didn't get to the Trocadero for the Parade of Champions (which us free) but heard it was awesome.

Lots of my Athlete colleagues in my purpose project brought home lots of medals. if you are on Instagram please follow legacy.300 as there are some charity prize draws to win days with the GB Medallists.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Not our sort of thing running, when does the Freestyle Brick Throwing begin ? That's us.

We need more practice - no Brits in the shot put final

 

[crodonilson]

Having a Julien and a Daryl in the women's 100m is incredibly 21st century. Fabulous race.

 

[Frutos]

Marchand going for another gold in the 4x100m mixed relay.

GB the defending champions.

Iwan Thomas has been at Team GB House every night on the Eurosport round up show, and it just looks like a nightclub/bar for the athletes to let off sone steam of celebrate. Is this place accessible for the public then??

Just got back to my hotel. Best stadium atmosphere I’ve been in. The French are so passionate about their athletes and create amazing atmospheres at all the venues I’ve been lucky enough to attend. Hats off to them puts to bed the theory big stadium = zero atmosphere.
