Who really gives a fuck about rowing 1460 days out of 1461(Apart from when we win a gold, especially with a thrilling comeback)?

Always been a massive fan ;)

Wow. 4th in the medal table now. One gold off top, a shame Peaty had covid.

Doesn’t the Irish gold medalist swimmer come from NI but chose to compete for Ireland?

Is it my shit FOC memory but in Olympics gone by did the medal ceremonies used to take place the day after? Much better to do it straight after the event

I’m not sure we should try to claim that one tbh.

Great interview with Alex Yee - forgot the obvious question though…. Did you swallow a turd during the swim?

Agreed (was just saying that it was close)
