On that topic, was watching beach volleyball earlier and it was near empty. Brazil were playing too. Isn't that supposed to be one of their top sports?

Dutch cyclist has three small fractures in her back and concussion, still in intensive care but she should recover just fine. Pretty incredible if she comes out of it with no serious lasting damage.

Anyone else think this hanging the gold medal on Peaty's neck before the race is tempting fate? Even the BBC is going well beyond just saying he's the favourite. He's been flawless up until now but it's an Olympic final with a different kind of pressure where strange things can happen and nothing's a given. Main scenario I can see is him going for another big WR and blowing his load in the first 50.

It's raining medals all of a sudden.
In other news, Djokovic out in round one of the tennis lolololololol. Well in Delpo.

Peaty didn't win by as big a margin as I expected but was still dominant. Awesome from Carlin too.
Bit gutted for Novak, looked proper heartbroken. Shame for Murray brothers too.
Rugby 7's women later have a chance of a medal later

Was fantastic last night* watching Peaty & Carlin. Superb. Big shocks in the tennis. I did say it was the best possible draw for Murray when I saw Djokovic with JDP but I really didn't think he'd actually beat him. Again I don't want to tempt fate but it's Murray's gold to lose. Disappointing that the brothers couldn't get through. Had that down as a good chance of a gold medal. Surprise with Williams going out as well.
That Katie Ledecky is mental good as well. 19 years old and she's dominant WR holder 400m all the way up to 1500m and can even compete at a world class level at 200m and 100m. Olympic gold at 15 years old in 2012. Should clean up every long distance event and medal some relays. Only gonna be 23 in Tokyo so should still clean up everything there. 27 years old come 2024 - impossible to say where she'll be in life/where the competition will be but theoretically she could still be winning medals there. Gonna end up one of the great all-time Olympians I think.
Speaking of great all time Olympians, Phelps winning 19 was pretty sweet. Swam a great leg too.
*well I watched it in the morning when I got up, tivo'ing it and watching it first thing before I get up and learn any results.
Bit of a lull for Team GB this afternoon.
Copeland/Taylor finished last in the rowing Smythe-Davis out of the judo Kyle Edmund out of the tennis Galal Yafai out of the boxing Paddy Barnes out for Ireland too
Glover/Stanning who haven't lost a race in 5 years only just won their heat on the line. Chambers/Fletcher finished 2nd so go through to the semis but dropped off massively in 2nd half of race.

Ours were fucking useless, panicked too much.
Should still get a bronze though.
Reckon Daley will finish 4th tonight.

Bronze for the divers!
(FWIW, in that prediction thing I did at the beginning I had us getting bronze in that diving event - I also had the women getting bronze in Rugby so hopefully that is a good omen...)
