[Indie]

Any other chances of gold today? It’d be nice to overtake America.

BMX tonight.

 

[Ill Advised]

And Ben Proud is tonight with a very good chance for gold too

 

[rhythmbandit]

BMX tonight.

Kye didn't seem optimistic about his back, although barring a disaster, Bethany is getting a gold.

I don't think Bethany's win is nailed-on, the Australian lass has a good shout. But she should at least medal.

 

[ButterTart]

I should complain more often about us not getting enough gold medals. Worked a treat today.

 

[dmlaw]

Oh, windsurfing postponed due to no wind. At least that’ll be our first gold tomorrow sorted.

Disasters are common in BMX. The gold medal is determined on just one race. (Which I really wish they didn’t do).

 

[Ellie]

Ooh, we’ve just surpassed France in the table

 

[Dark Carnival]

Ooh, we’ve just surpassed France in the table

Always nice to beat the French

The way you lot are obsessed

 

[Kratz]

The way you lot are obsessed

Sorry for all the WINNING.

Could you complain about me not having a Ferrari please?

 

[Indie]

Afternoon olympics is such a damp squib. Do I watch judo or archery or badminton?

 

[PercyPig]

Archery or badminton!

Judo still no idea how a point is scored

 

[funky]

Question: Why is GERMANY so rubbish at the Olympics?

 

[funky]

DP’d by German wrestling team

 

[Indie]

Question: Why is GERMANY so rubbish at the Olympics?

They're good at Winter Olympics. Only got so many people to go around.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Aren't they good at throwing stuff?

 

[Nancy]

Question: Why is GERMANY so rubbish at the Olympics?

I asked the same earlier. I remember them being good when I was young. Perhaps they make up for it in the track and field.

 

[Finn]

BRING BACK THE BERLIN WALL

 

[rhythmbandit]

Potential medal in the golf tomorrow, Tommy Fleetwood leading the pack after round 2, however it works.

 

[Ellie]

Denise Lewis really doesn’t ever age.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Judo still no idea how a point is scored

 

[FetchFugly]

I know this isn't the busiest night in the stadium but the level of BBC athletics waffle tonight is just too much. Maybe I will have to brave Discovery+.

Jaz Sawyers is so good on the field commentary, shame we won't get to hear any of it tonight.

 

[BoysForSeles]

That BBC athletics studio is terribly noisy and it’s not even a peak time in the stadium yet.

 

[Madison]

The British Bouncey Boy did well.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

The British Bouncey Boy did well.

He did. I only know that because of the endearing GB lass earlier.

 

[FetchFugly]

The way they cut to a stadium shot mid jump rather than accidentally show one more moment of the decathlon.

 

[Madison]

This is ridiculous scheduling, I have three screens on the go.

 

[Madison]

Impressive for the Chinese trampolinist to fall during the warm up.

 

[FetchFugly]

Ouch. Right off the trampoline.

 

[Madison]

OUCH

 

[FetchFugly]

Phoebe Gill apparently a big Gilmore Girls fan.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

The flop NZer was attractive.

 

[Madison]

Why are the BBC showing Loose Women instead of the BMX semi?

 

[Madison]

BMX

Spoiler

That girl is phenomenal

 

[Kratz]

God I can’t bear Clare Balding

 

[Dark Carnival]

The BMX is crazy fast. I’m literally scared for them at every turn!

 

[Madison]

Fucking Belarus.

 

[Madison]

British Bouncy Boy came an amazing 4th. Would have medalled if they’d booted out the Lukashenko fanboy.

 

[FetchFugly]

Come on Big Ben
