That Galal Yafai boxing match was great to watch. GB through to gold medal match.

He's great, and has a good attitude. Easily the best Yafai brother.

Also, bronze for Liam Heath in the canoe sprint.

Marathon swimming is brutal!

Unlike all the other GB boxers, Yafai has at least beaten the Cuban already.

Read that earlier and it worried me. It's not the usual "I'm stronger, I'll be back" that you had from Gemili and Asher-Smith. She seems truly broken by this. Not remotely surprising, but I worry what this will do to what has been, in the past, a fairly fragile mental state.

 

[Madison]

Very confusing cycling commentary. I was sure the sprints were best of three, but the commentators didn’t seem to realise.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Cycling and Rowing haven't been great for Team GB this year.

Cycling's fine. We're going well in the Omnium, Carlin is doing well in the sprint.

We can't dominate every time.

Not to forget the BMX and mountain biking, of course.

Totally forgot about them.

Walls is guaranteed a medal now, surely?

 

[Indie]

Not just a medal, i'll be shocked if he doesn't take gold from here.

 

[Madison]

GOLD

 

[Ellie]

GOLD for Walls

 

[Indie]

GOLD!

 

[Madison]

I win the gold in the gold-posting race.

 

[Indie]

I win the gold in the gold-posting race.

Congrats hunni xxx

[ButterTart]

Can’t tell from the last few posts, what colour medal did we get?

 

[Madison]

GOLD

 

[ButterTart]

Thanks, nice to finally get a straight answer from this thread.

Do we have any more golds looking likely today? Those selfish Australian bitches seem to have cheated their way in front of us again.

I think the only other potential medal today is in the Woman's pole vault and that would be a good result to get anything, so is unlikely to be gold.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Holly Bradshaw in contention for a medal in the Pole Vault.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Or not.

 

[Madison]

Or maybe

 

[rhythmbandit]

This is quite tense.

 

[Soldi]

I’m watching it at the barbers and I have no idea what’s going on.

 

[Madison]

Guaranteed medal

 

[dmlaw]

It's going to be bronze.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Jeez, Colin Jackson can suck the energy out of any situation.

 

[Ellie]

Well this Karate is nothing like Cobra Kai

 

[FetchFugly]

Very pleased to hear Holly came through and took a medal.

This was posted on the BBC live update thread so I guess it has been seen but it bears posting as it is lovely... and that second picture

 

[PercyPig]

Is there something common that brings them together - looks like they’ve been friends for years?
