Silver for Tom McEwen in the showjumping. Was waiting for the german to knock a pole down for Tom to get gold but she was flawless apart from a small time penalty.
Another donkey medal. But at least it's not nonsensical like the dressage.
Lol.
Yeah, showjumping is rather exciting and intense, dressage is just meh.
Penalty shootout! Women's hockey quarter final.
Love a hockey penalty shootout, bit more tactical than a football one! Bit tense with the keeper trying to kill the spanish player
Yeah, I've never seen a hockey penalty shootout. It was quite interesting. Glad we won it!
Danish cycling team pushing the limits/rules of what is/isn't allowed. https://road.cc/content/news/medical-tape-row-danish-pursuit-team-broke-uci-rules-285339
Interesting. It certainly does seem suspect that they're all wearing tape. I wonder if Olympic officials will want to take action.
Well done Keely, from my home town as well.
Yep, excellent and got silver.
Crying with joy and thanking everyone who supported her in front of the interviewer, and then the interviewer says "What does this mean to you, Keeley?" Duh.
Ah, pity, Team GB Harry Coppell out of the pole vaulting, couldn't make 5.87m. Lavillenie also out, couldn't make 5.92m. But so far, 5.92m cleared by Duplantis and Nilsen.
If I were going to get on anything before the games, it would have been Duplantis winning easily. Mind you, the odds would have been crap.
Lol, yeah.
But for sure, he's a dead cert. He's got gold now and just went for a world record attempt at 6.19m. Just clipped it but might get it on second or third attempt.
I think she's only 19 so a very bright future ahead of her.
Definitely! She's capable of gold.
Excellent start to the Heptathlon for KJT winning the 100m hurdles.
Yeah, it's a bit rubbish. But better than donkey dressage
Sky Brown just made this interesting, she's amazing. 55.26, 1st place!
Bronze for Sky Brown! Took 3 attempts to get that medal, fell twice in the first two runs. 13 years old!
Ben Maher just jumped clear on his horse 'Explosion' in the showjumping in the time allowed with no penalties. He's into the medals jumpoff in a few minutes. Love showjumping, nerve wracking watching it hoping they don't knock a pole off.
Yep, 12 years old. Mad.
Wow, didn't know she was worth so much money. I imagine she has great parents just by the way she conducts herself. Really well brought up, going over to all the other skaters after their runs congratulating them, and looking so sweet and humbled on the podium.
Goddamn, poor KJT in the heptathlon!

KJT, the best heptathlon athlete that never got an Olympic medal. Real pity.
Jumpoff is on now with fastest times needed. Got to beat 38.02 seconds. Come on Ben!
Yes, 37.85!
Yes, 37.85!
Gold for Ben!
Apparently weight lifting could be dropped from future Olympics due to continual doping, bribery and vote rigging according to Hazel Irvine. That would be a pity, I really enjoy watching that.
It's really impressive. China 70 medals and we have 48, only 22 behind. Yet think about how small the UK is compared to China, USA and Russia.

That's a good point.
