What's Alex Scott wearing?

Is that a red leather suit like Eddie Murphy in Raw?

Is that a red leather suit like Eddie Murphy in Raw?

Yes, I’d noticed that too. In the immortal words of Barry Davies, “Interesting. Very interesting”

Some excellent chances for Team GB:
- Looking like favourites to take 2 golds in the equestrian.
- A medal in the sailing, could be gold, most likely silver.
- A chance of a medal in the diving.
- Outside chance of a medal in the gymnastics.

Track cycling starts but only medal race we don't have a team in today.

I'm particularly looking forward to Sifan Hassan kickstarting her unbelievable treble attempt in the athletics, going for 1500m, 5000m and 10000m glory. She has the 1500m heat in the early hours and the 5000m final at midday tomorrow.

Plus the hugely controversial Women's +87kg weightlifting starts tomorrow, where transgender athlete Laurel Hubbard will compete.

The end of that Lopez v Alfonso fight was decent in the boxing. Just caught up on the replay.

Sifan Hassan is an unbelievable athlete.

Got knocked over with 400m to go in the 1500m heats and made up at least 30m to win the heat.

Hope that's not taken too much out of her for the 5000m final later.

Jeez, an Italian is the fastest in the world!

Was he running backwards? (Apologies to my Italian chums, and to Morecambe and Wise for such a blatant steal)
