What sailing did we win?

Finn class Ainslie's old boat.

It's not a huge surprise Scott and Ainslie were essentially number 1 and 2 in the world but we were only allowed to.enter 1 boat.

Still early days for a 5 set match no implosion yet just not pressing the advantage.

Back into second place after China quickly overtook us again could be an interesting last week.

 

[Which Tyler]

As I typed he was on course to hand Delpo 2 breaks on the trot, and essentially, the first set with it, having been in control previously.
He clawed it back, with a little help from the umpire, but I'd class that as an implosion - not match ending, but an ..

China retook 2nd with gold and silver in the diving, Kenny and Skinner won 2nd straight back. No idea if GB or China are set for a better 2nd week, I'd guess that they do.

Switzerland playing beach volleyball. Not a sport I ever associated with Switzerland tbh.

Murray takes the 1st set!

Probably won't be watching it all unfortunately I need my sleep this week as I have to visit a customer this week and need to wake up at 5am on Wednesday ;(

Possibly round Lake Geneva....?

Yeah quick Google says there is.

Cav being stupid and getting himself knocked out of the event by overtaking off the track, however other riders ganging up on him and keeping him pinned in. Not good to see such gamesmanship against 1 rider.

 

[ncurd]

Gamesmanship against Cav in an Olympics where have I seen that before?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Murray!

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Murray!

Yep I stayed up to watch him and I hate Murray. Now staying up to watch Bolt in the 100 final.

Now for the 400m final.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Hell of a run by the South African in the 400m

I wonder if any Fijians would take to 400m

 

[Bada-Bing!]

**** WR in 400m. 43.03 secs. Astonishing. MJ in the studio must be gutted.

- - - Updated - - -

Come on Bolt. I wanna see 9.4 something!!!!

- - - Updated - - -

MJ seems to be taking it well that his record has gone. First Bolt broke his 200m WR and now Van Niekerk has taken his 400m WR. Never thought I'd see either of those records go the way they did.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Sooo hope Gatlin doesn't win
