That kiwi must be gutted, top sportsman

 

[Blue Maverick]

Proper race management there

 

[MCFC1993]

Alex Yee you beauty.

 

[JRockBlues]

Remarkable finish from Yee.

 

[willipp]

Wow just wow, that was unreal from Yee. Thought he had no chance even with 4/500 meters to go.

 

[GornikDaze]

Yee haaaaaaaa!!! What a finish

 

[mancboy]

Quality finish from yee there

 

[Blue Maverick]

French coverage to busy watching their man than the actually winners

 

[jimharri]

It looked like he was fired out of a catapult in that last kilometre. Those guys (and the ladies) are bloody tough.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fucking commentators, saying wheels came off for kiwi. It was magnificent from Yee - he didn’t just catch the leader, he had a Frenchman closing him down - he beat them BOTH. Shit commentary

 

[willipp]

French coverage to busy watching their man than the actually winners

It’s so bad the coverage. They just randomly keep switching from the leaders to people no involved in the race for medals. Add that to them constantly showing the French athletes it was hard to see what happened. Yee looked dead on the first 3 laps but kept enough knowing he’d have the finish. Brilliant stuff

 

[Scottyboi]

Beautiful that pacing to give himself enough at the end didn't panic.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Congrats to Alex Yee -brilliant.
Also well done Girls in the 10m synchronised Bruno event.

 

[mancboy]

Its the toughest thing in sport when someone passes you and you just know you have nothing left to give

 

[MillionMilesAway]

That kiwi must be gutted, top sportsman

yeah, quite remarkable behaviour to just sit down with Yee after that finish.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Wow…that was incredible…the women rowers!!!!!! Gold!

 

[Blue Maverick]

Blood hell how close was that!
