What do the US girls put on their faces in the swimming? Most the US team look like they've been in the sun all week.

bah thought he won that, great effort!

Same, so so close.

Great effort from Peaty! So close to that gold - lets hope he can get gold in the relay.

Psycho Ned · 2024-07-28T21:14:48+0100

Hopefully Pidcock will get us off the mark on the Gold front tomorrow, he'll win the Mountain biking unless his wheel falls off (jinxed him now!).

Fractions cost Peaty, good effort after his journey over the last few years.

The schedule on the main website is totally broken. Was trying to work through each sport and mark my favourite events but it keeps forgetting them as you add more rendering it useless.

Must be quite frustrating, he probably used to beat that Gold medal time for fun in practice at his best

Did Boris Johnson just win the 100m breaststroke?

I suspect why he’s emotional, he knows this’ll be his last.

Psycho Ned · 2024-07-28T21:32:39+0100

He's 29 so would be 33 in LA, it's doable but realistically he'd only want to do it to win a gold medal and I find it unlikely he's gonna be better at 33 than he was tonight.

I was going to say the same thing.

He is a favourite for the race which starts at 13:10 BST.

SPG · 2024-07-28T21:37:17+0100

Yep, he singlehandedly brought the breaststroke kicking and screaming into 21st century.

A GOAT of that discipline.

Oh he's a beast on a mountain bike (well on any bike really but especially a mountain one!) I know he had to drop out of the tour with covid but hopefully that was just a positive test rather than him being properly ill with it.

was the Marchand 400m medley victory margin that was phenomenal (had Peaty won by such a margin previously),
french lady margin on mountain biking too, puncture put paid to lady with margin on 2nd place though.
