We may yet beat our London 2012 medal haul (29G; 17S; 19B --> 65 target)

We've got one guarenteed in the boxing which will take us to 64.
Still have Mo Farrah to come in the 5000m, also a couple going in Taekwondo tonight, one of whom, Bianca Walkden, is a World Champion. We are also currently third in the Modern Pentathlon after two events with three still to go. Other than that can't see where else any will come, unless there is a surprise in the athletics.

Who is Nichola?

I can't stand the diving co-commentator. He seems to get a massive kick out of people cocking up their dives.
I know he's an expert but to me he's just fecking irritating.

He is rather grating. This isn't the Eurovision Song Contest.

He knows his stuff though. And, let's be fair, there's only so much you can say when commentating on 12 divers each performing 6 dives in the final of the competition.
Just lost it, annoyingly the CHINESE woman gets the final spot.
How the hell did no kick in all 3 rounds score? I think they forgot to switch on the vests.
Before she took up Taekwondo she was a tennis player.

Do the Brazilian fans realise they are playing the German development squad
I love all the armchair experts that emerge once every 4 years on these obscure sports.
Worthy of places on the 'Bell Cheese at Work' thread.......offices are full of 'em..........same happens with every big sporting event.......
They seem think it will be revenge for the WC. Err, hello, this is an event nobody in
football gives f*** about. Get a life.

My wife is is Malaysian and her Facebook friends are gutted. I don't believe they've ever won a gold, but badminton is their biggest shot
