Is there any other golds at stake today? I don’t understand how the sailing works tbh, lost faith in the windsurfing when our girl won by miles and then went into a final on level footing

I don't have a clue how it works either! I think there are a few more golds to be won in the cycling today.

How many men’s gold is that out of the 13 GB have?

5 I think plus equestrian which I think was mixed

Tom Pidcock
1/3 of the equestrian team eventing
Showjumping team
Nathan Hales
Men's 4 x 200meter freestyle

So 6 and a 3rd pretty much exactly even male female.

I know what you mean though, it does feel like the women have been stronger for us.

Finucane and Marchant safely through in the keirin.

Interesting medal table at the top with the USA chasing China and GB just a silver behind Le Francais.
I am trying to follow the BBC site for updates but they are still on the Swimming from Rio.

Make more sense to get something like a Honda 750cc then there would be no pissing about :-)
