Amber looked handy for GB in the 400m heat
Brazil girl robbed in the beam. Looked a silver performance at least and came 4th. Chinese girl came second but put her hands down to stop falling off and got no deductions for some reason, comms said .5 or even a whole point for that normally.
Judging seems suspect the whole event, took ages for Biles score who fell off, on the phone loads of times, China objecting.

Not been watching but saw Caudery didn't even make the pole vault final, not even clearing her opening height while everyone else came in lower. I probably shouldn't speculate on things I don't know about but it's seems like she did not give the competition the respect it deserved and she got burned.

This high bar finals a bit of a disaster so far

I haven't watched much of the Olympics, the cheating, corruption and ridiculous levels of fawning over certain competitors drives me up the wall. It would seem some of you don't the reporting either, scrolling through the BBC's Olympic feed I see Simone Biles fell of the beam which appears to have delighted many!
Tbh I thought she'd done well to bounce back after the disaster that was Tokyo.

Simone now on floor.
Well, she bossed it but two landings outside the square
Probably still get gold though.

Oh, she gets silver at best at the moment.
Confirmed silver for Biles. Rebecca Andrade from Brazil gets gold on the floor final. Pity for Romania who got bronze and then after an enquiry it got changed to USA.

Loved seeing how pleased for Andrade the Americans were on the podium. Could you imagine in football the losing team in the final being so gracious to the winners!
Andrade was robbed in the beam so glad she won the gold on the floor. They do seem to root for each other which is nice.

it is fun to watch

Yeah that’s a good watch, not just technical ability but outright aggression in beating competitors round the markers
Double Gold potential here for GB

Weird seeing Laura Kenny in the studio after all her success, after she scrapped her attempt to get in the womens track cycling squad a few months ago.
Predicting 8 GB golds on the track!

Only seen bits of two kayak cross in the last few minutes, but I'm currently not sure, seems to heavily rely on luck through the course than outright skill.
Think it would be better if 3/4 racers battled over three legs, using a different race lane each leg.
