Danny's little boy showing more passion than Danny ever did after the 5k.

These climbers have really struggled with this wall. It’s probably too hard a course.

Well I think we've come to the most pointless event. The Silly Walks mixed relay. I'm sure the changeovers will be crucial. If you get it wrong, you could lose 2 seconds from the 3 hour time.

Not everything needs to be a mixed relay. If there is absolutely no teamwork involved, then it has no business being a team event.

All mixed relays needs to be droped in my opinion. Just no point to them.

In fairness, it would be a bit of a mess and rather anticlimactic if they all made it to the top.

I'm no expert in the climbing, but it's probably been one of my favourite events to watch so far.

Should add basketball to that. Medal stat padding for Americans in my view. Might as well add baseball if we're doing this.

Yeah, fair. I guess I suggested it as no one has got anywhere near yet.

The fact they can’t see what others have done and how they attempted the climb is a really good factor.

Ingebrigtsen doing the total opposite from yesterday in the 5000m heats at the minute. Right at the back.

First time i'm finding out it's his son. Don't think the comms were too impressed with his behaviour.

Seemingly his own fault.

Fucking hell, Mijain Lopez might be the greatest Olympian of all time. Just seen him on the BBC.

Gold medal at 41 to complete five gold medals in successive Olympics in greco-roman wrestling. The only person ever to do it in an individual event.

I saw that last night. 6' 4" and 21 stone. A giant of the sport.

The Slovenian Girl will do it! She is spider woman.
