Tokyo 2020 Olympics/Paralympics

Flat tyre is gutting for Taylor-Brown but at least she got round and on the run. Hopefully she can close the gap again.

The Bermudan and American have shot off, looks like the gold may be disappearing for our athletes.

American been dropped, hopefully she's paced it wrong.

Taylor-Brown looking good, shot past 4th and now 3rd.

Plenty of time yet. Hopefully the Bermudan will burn herself out.

Taylor Brown is probably a City fan with the luck she’s had!

Flat tire is agonising, she looked our best bet. Not out of it yet but she's using up a lot of energy just to get back in here. Our other athlete looks shot and out of medal contention sadly.

Camera foreshortens the actual distance. That flat tyre has cost her gold, but hats off to her she’s a real trooper

I'm tired watching this.
They have got the run after this little bike ride.

How fit are these athletes? I'm going to grunt walking up my stairs, these lot aren't even out of breath.

There's a reason for that grunting...

Everyone else looks fucked and the Bermudan looks like she's on a nice leisurely jog.

Shaun Goater must be sweating, might have his national day replaced if she keeps this up.

Agreed.
Always gets me wondering when I see one athlete who just looks in a different league to everyone else, especially in endurance/speed events. I wish I didn’t think like that, but the history of sport means I can’t help it.
