I used to love snowboarding, back couldn’t handle it now unfortunately:(

 

[GornikDaze]

Apart from the 16 year old who got bronze yesterday!

Does she qualify for the male event?

That Dutch Athlete was also after her Bronze.

 

[Blue Maverick]

In this day and age who knows

 

[Elbow beards]

Wow, this skateboarding is something else!!. 51 years old what a dude.

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

The boat race was a joke.

 

[dadnlad]

Does she qualify for the male event?

Maybe in 4 years time ;)

So are the commentators reeling off the trendy moves in a hip, cool and trendy fashion. You sound ridiculous but then I'm an old fart.

There's quite a few more:
Diving men's and women's 3m Springboard - 2 medals possible. - Jack Laugher, Jordan Houlden, Grace Reid

Always a chance in the sailing races.

Sport Climbing - Men's Boulder and Lead - Toby Roberts

Probably get at least 2 or 3 more medals on top of Finucane in the cycling.

Wouldn't rule out a surprise 800m Men's or 4x400m medal.


I reckon 15 more medals at least, hopefully 6 of those gold.

Cheers for this -great news. I wasn’t aiming for a complete list just where I thought our best hopes lie. Anything to get us up to 60 medals :-)
Being a FOC I just worked out we have the worst Gold to Overall medal ratio of the Top Ten nations :-(.

I couldn't understand half the words they saying.

 

[MCFC1993]

Men's team pursuit coming up now, guaranteed silver, which is what I think we get. Australia looked a lot stronger in the heats.

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Not convinced we'll see a gold again at this rate. Properly dried up.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

The boat race was a joke.

The skateboarding is more of a cult than a sport.

 

[MCFC1993]

Brilliant race.

Obviously a huge error on the last lap but I don't think we'd have won anyway, the lad did well to stay on his bike.

We were closer than anyone thought we would be.

 

[supercity88]

Fucking Aussie cunts, having a cracker of a day today. Gutted we didn't get a tighter finish there, I'm sure the Aussies would have still won it but would have been close.

Although not ideal, I bet medal per population size we're doing well.
