One more win for Evans and Murray and they get a bronze medal.

So far these have been fitting performances for his last tournament, full of grit and fight. They'll have to go some to get past their next opponents but if they could get a medal what an ending it would be.

Great swimming that and Murray doing it the hard way. Why are the boxers nit wearing head guards these days I thought they did in the Olympics?

They were actually found to contribute more to concussions. They still wear them in sparring so they don't get cut.

I love watching some sports that don’t get great coverage on free to view normally.
Seeing Team GB win any medal is a feel good factor and has been for many years.
As a FOC I will never get my time back from 70’s and 80’s when GB golds were like rocking horse shit thanks to the PED riddled Eastern Europeans.
