This is one of the most astonishing things I’ve seen in any sport in thirty plus years of casual viewing. Absolutely unbelievable. Don’t think I could’ve beat her driving a car. Gobsmacked.

Watching the men’s archery. Medal matches from 1:30.

MotoGP day so probably won’t watch anything else closely.

Will only half be watching the archery semis and medal matches because of clashing with the race. Although if yesterday’s sprint was anything to go by I’d be better off just concentrating on the archery.

Been enjoying the hockey

Excited about the uneven bars final after watching Nemour in the all around event, Algeria gold medal would be cool. Derwael (Belgium) won gold last time, hope she gets a cheeky medal too

hope Phoebe Gill makes the 800m final, that’d be ace

hope Lyles can push Thompson close in the 100m final, don’t mind who wins

Those are my three wishes

You could’ve wished for world peace

At the world championships she ran a similar leg in the women’s 4x400m

And also fell on her face just before the finish line in the mixed relay

Great value relay runner, puts so much into it

Fuck! I should’ve done

This archery match is absolutely phenomenal. Ridiculous that 8 10s and 4 9s from 12 arrows wasn’t enough to get through. Three perfect shoes from Lee - dropped ONE point in the whole match :scream:

In the following match they’ve dropped twice as many points in just the first set as they did in the entire previous match. The Chinese guy just be feeling incredibly hard done by this draw.

Okay, they followed that up with both of them getting perfect scores in the second set.

Red in the hockey against India. Intentional stick to the head
