Tom Pidcock, our very own Cole Trickle. The French guy was no doubt thinking 'He always takes the outside!'.

Pidcock: 'This one's for you Harry!'.

Brilliant performance 🏅

Tight rugby 7s match coming to the last moments, GB v South Africa. GB 19-17 up.

Absolutely genuine question for those who have been watching the 7s...

Is the FORWARD PASS rule, NOT a thing, in 7s? To say there have been some questionable calls on these, in the few games I've watched, is quite the understatement

EDIT: GB WIN :clap2:

I reckon the woman commentator on the gymnastics is playing Mornington Crescent. A double flange splunger into an upstart handwangle with a triple bell forward pike tumble roll.

99.9% of watchers will have no idea if she is making it up or not.
I think the men's skateboard commentators have joined this game.

All to the backdrop, for some reason, of the Pina Colada Song by Rupert Holmes.

:shrug:

The handball frequently has a blast of a version of Nik Kershaw's, 'The Riddle' I can best describe it as Gaelic light techno.

It's rapidly catching Sweet Caroline in my personal accursed top/bottom 10.

I get the idea of trying to modernise, but an Olympic event you can do with AirPods in, as this American is doing?

Not for me, Clive.
TBH you could probably do it in most of them if you were brave enough

Adam Burgess fastest in the Canoe slalom final, but three to go...

Good chance of a medal in the Canoe slalom. Burgess in the lead with 3 to go.

EDIT: Medal in the bag

Insane by Burgess in the Canoeing - made a mistake and somehow clawed the time back.

Guaranteed a medal with 2 left to run
