Looks like they have show jumping on BBC 1 and iplayer. other live event currently on iplayer is 3x3 basketball and day 7 live so that might have various things on.

Some boxing just starting on bbc extra.
Crazy end to womens skiff sailing, Dutch leading all race but then thought they had passed finish line, when they hadn't and scrambled after realising. Fortunately, they still just won gold, from the Swedes who won the medal race!

They both thought they had crossed the finish line when they hadn't, Dutch so lucky to realise and finish just high enough for gold.
ah thanks, i couldnt have sound on as in a teams meeting
Nice to see we've shot up the medal table. 
Many thanks to all the sitting down events for that.
Oh, and for the love of all that is sane presenters and commentators, stop using the word medalled! Hearing them say 'He medalled in Tokyo and he's going to medal in Paris" just sounds like you're talking about some international sex pest!

It's boring this time trial bit. Just sorting the competitors for the seedings. The competition starts again tomorrow it seems.
Was watching the 50m rifle target shoot and all the competitors were all wearing leather gimp suits like they were about to ride the moto GP. Anyone know what that’s about?
Edit: Apparently the suits are supposed to help support the rifle and minimise body movement.

Yeah. I just watched Teddy Riner win the Judo final. Cool takedown but it isn't that interesting a sport. Not even close to watching MMA or boxing.
I used to be at quite a decent level at Judo but never have the inclination to watch it. Not the most spectator friendly sport but it is so technical and very hard work.
EDIT
Just realised it was 30 years ago when I was at my best, where did the time go!
