Fucking hell, Xander's just lost a ball while leading. He might let the boy from Bratislava win gold.

7 way playoff for bronze
I reckon there could be some mileage in sudden death golf as a full tournament format. Not quite sure how you'd go about it. What's the most you can feasibly send off the tee at the same time?
Simultaneous tee shots?
Otherwise known as match play.
On one of the niche golf accounts I follow I saw an 11-ball going off in a playoff in some third or fourth tier American event. Looked absolutely insane with none of them talking to each other and the whole green basically cordoned off for standing on other people's lines.
No, no up or down. Just out or carry on. Last man standing.
Probably better than the par 3 thing they do at Augusta, just get the field out on a Wednesday. No yardage books or ball finders either. You could call it The <insert number of competitors here>.
You all tee off at the same time and it's first to hole wins, number of shots doesn't matter it's just first to putt wins the hole.
CT Pan somehow coming out of that insanity with a bronze medal is so golf it hurts. Legend.
Speed round. You could run it like a cycling time trial. Off the tee every 2 minutes. If you can nail the guy in front of you that's his problem.
When China do the medal table do they include Taipei's in their tally?
They have an agreement whereby they have a separate team but aren't allowed to call themselves Taiwan.
FM always used to call them Chinese Taipei (China PR). Brave, brave Miles.
He did really good golfing.Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
Good boxing semi final on Eurosport 7 now.
What's with the Pro Wrestling entrances in the high jump?
That Chinese bloke can go.
Ł5 on Erriyon Knighton to win gold in the 200m.
It's probably too early for him but the kid (he's 17) is ridiculous.
He's broken all of Bolt's youth records and he currently has the 4th fastest time this season.
What did/does Djokovic do? I thought everyone liked him, or is that Federer?
So we've seen biting and headbutts in the boxing. Someone should start throwing some kicks.
Mario Golf style. Throw some goombas on the field and you got a winner.
He launched a racquet into the (empty) stands and then smashed another one off the net post. Then he quit the the doubles tournament.
He's a psychopath with nothing remotely interesting or charismatic about him.
That 800M runner from Mexico leaves me in no doubt I'd have been a world class athlete if they'd have let me keep my glasses on in PE at school.
Novid Djokovic. I forgot about that.
Aussie Pete looks good for a medal in the 800m.
This high jump final has been top quality.
Women's triple jump WR gone.
Absolutely HUGE jump, beats a 26 year old record.
The triple jump then was unreal.
Is some of this on during the day? I thought it was all in the small hours here.
The lanky Venezuelan made me feel things.
A lot of the good athletics is on from the late morning. Men's 100m final in ten minutes.
It looks like she's holding back a little on the hop and the skip as she's scared that she's going to land in the sand.
The previous record was set at the same event as Jonathan Edwards' record.
lol in the high jump.
Commentators saying it's going to a jump off but one of the competitors just asked "Can we have 2?" and the official said why not.
Since when is sharing the gold a thing?
They only share the bronze in the boxing because they don't want to do another bout.
Last time a gold was shard was in Sydney.
50m freestyle was shared between two Americans. No silver was awarded though.

Bemusing.
No idea who is winning the 100m here.
I thought going in that Bromell would win but he didn't even make the final.
It's incredibly tight because no one really stands out and anyone here can win. I'll take a punt on DeGrasse with Ł5 on him.
Oh dear Zharnel Hughes, clearly nerves got to him.
The same guy (Barshim) shared a three way Bronze in London 2012.

I didn't think Jacobs had it in him.
Holy shit what a year for the Italians.
Fucking lol at that Chinese lad pulling out the flag. You've come last m8.
Leave him alone, he's a desperate man trying to avoid going to a concentration camp in the morning.
Where the fuck are the Jamaicans?
From a mediocre long jumper to winning the Olympic gold in the 100m.
They're all shit now.
Blake has lost his elite speed and is more of a 10s runner now and their other guys are youngsters who haven't really broken out yet.
Marcell Lamont Jacobs.
Classic Italian Name.
Like Rory 'The Slovafrican' Sabbatini.
Iran about to get DUMPED out of the volleyball
He was born in Texas and his Dad is a Texan but he himself lives in Italy.
He also has an Italian accent and his English isn't great.
The drug line has been cut.
When do we think the Italian will test positive for drugs?
Poland topping the group and Iran gone
Must be soon. He only broke 10 seconds for the first time in May
Literally never heard of a single runner in the 100m
