There can’t be many worse feeling than when you finish fourth.

Very hard to take, that bike change cost him.

That interview from Tarling with Blythe there was painful stuff. He really didn’t wanna be there did he? Shit happens, indeed.
He can be so proud, and maybe he can use it as motivation to go better and get on the podium at the World Champs in Switzerland.

Remco class as ever.

Watching judo right now. I’ve no idea what’s going on. The rules seem perplexing.

You’ve got to score more points than your opponent, mate, before the soremade.

Thanks, that’s cleared things up. I’m enjoying it much more now.

Mate means a break in Judo.
Soremade means time is up!

My favorite part of the Olympics is the random sports that are on. Women's water polo? I think about it once every 4 years but damned if I'm not into this match right now.

@kaz7

Saw a few with your name, KAZ, written on the backs of their shirt .
Just realised it was the Kazakhstan team.

Ganna beats Tarling. No medal unless Evenpoel crashes.

Brutal puncture has not only cost him gold but a medal as well.

Was gutted for him.

France v. Fiji in rugby 7s Final now. Both teams belting out their national anthems. Great match coming.

Off to a great start too.

The bronze medal match was good too.

 

[MCFC1993]

Fiji are a different level in sevens, ridiculously good.

Would love them to win it..

 

[MillionMilesAway]

the first half went quickly!

 

[MCFC1993]

Closer than I expected, France surviving by just accepting penalties.
