Loving listening to Laura Kenny. Speaks a lot of sense and seems a lovely person.

In the gaps between Balding’s long monologues.

Women's Team Pursuit - Bronze.

 

[Weststander]

Brilliant winding up of the pace.

Italy tried to blow them out of the water.

Less than 2 hours to go until Matt Hudson-Smith in the 400m.

If he triumphs, he'll be the first GB winner in 100 years since Eric Liddell of Chariots of Fire fame.

Hope so, the GB Gold medals have slowed right up

Due off 20.20 if anyone wants to know the exact time if you like me have to give your kids a beating at table tennis in the meantime.

France even more so. We are one gold medal away from going 4th in the medals table

What’s with the BBC on repeat going on about the cycling bronze and silver, long long after the races?

I thought we’d see wall to wall track n field.

Similar to safety pins and runner nos, surely there is a better way of measuring the throwing events than an arthritic wobbler with a stick running to somewhere near where the discus/shot/hammer/javelin MIGHT have landed.
Accuracy.

With all this hype about UK demos, I really need the relaxing, sexy tones of Paula Radcliffe tonight - is she on the couch later?

The dulcet tones of Lewis will do for me.

Great run and a PB in the 400m from Brighton and Hove's Amber Anning!

Through to Friday's Final.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Time in a Bottle, great choice of song.

Come on Matt.....

 

[essbee1]

Come on Matthew.

Is there a practical reason why the girl runners wear the equivalent of fairly skimpy knickers while the boy runners have the equivalent of Bermuda Shorts ?

 

[hart's shirt]

Matt Hudson-Smith...so close!

Silver medal.

Storming finish by Quincy Hall though to come through and nick it.

Hudson-Smith lowers his own European record. Couldn't really have given much more than he did.

The Curse of Balding-Cram-Logan strikes again

 

[ManOfSussex]

As Hudson-Smith said himself there at the end of the race - 'F**k'
