Adam Burgess in gold medal position canoeing with two to go.

Edit: one to go!

Edit2: beaten by the French so it’s a silver

I have discovery+ as part of my sky stream package. If you have that you probably have discovery+ included.
Have to say the BBC coverage is poor, one channel and even iplayer may only have 1-2 sports on it.

The BBC was lucky to get anything. Warner Bros bought all the rights to the Olympics TV and it's only shown on the BBC because the Olympics are a protected TV sport so WB have to give the terrestrial channels something

Amazingly fine margins for both Richards & Peaty. I do wonder if Peaty didn't have covid, if that would have been the difference between silver & gold though.

The surfing is absolutely mad

Where’s it at? I’m assuming that was the hook up to the sand tripical beach during the opening? French bit of South America?

Haiti - not totally sure how I feel about that - if we'd done Bermuda for the London Olympics I'm pretty sure things would have been said. But it's a stunning setting and incredible to watch

Tahiti, French Polynesia.

I just came across this from the mountain bike which show how Pidcock got alongside before they went either side of the tree!

Surfing is a bit rough tonight compared to what I watched last two nights. Waves about 3 times the size.

These guys are nuts.

Mens finished but they've called it off for the women. Too dangerous

Whens the boxing? I heard theres going to be former males vs females, which should be interesting

The waves were proper mad just before they called it off!

That was a little bit further back in the race, I think the lap before. It wasn't the defining pass that Tom made on the final lap.

 

[jpaul]

yes I didn't think that was the final lap - couldn't see any discontinuity in the tv feed for final that would cover such an incident and commentators would have remarked

Koretzky interview - he thought Pidcock made an error with lack of precision whilst trying to block one another (e: from overtaking)

Yeah the coverage missed that bit. Pidcock suddenly emerged back into the lead after the above incident with about 10-15m of a gap. He was then overtaken again before the pass at the very end of the race that won it for Pidcock.

I couldn't see him say that at in that article but perhaps I missed it. They contacted and he came out of his pedal and that was that. Rubbins racing as they say.

Absolutely insanely timed photo that is as he came off his board
