Great run from Laura Muir.
Great run from Laura Muir.
Kipyegon is a monster. I thought she had gone too hard too fast.
Beating Hassan is MASSIVE for Muir.
Modern pentathlon should be renamed to old school pentathlon, and modern pentathlon should be skateboarding, climbing, BMX, table tennis, and finally a marathon, because I like to watch ill-suited athletes suffer.
Keep in mind the skateboarders were children.
"she's come away with a PB, British Record and Silver medal in Olympic final, she couldn't have wished for more" - except for the gold medal maybe
I'm a twit
The marathon needs to be more modern, the first 3 Mario games or something. Warpless obv.Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
Thought we had the gold in the 4x100m.
Can't believe Italy managed to sneak ahead at the line.
Italy need to fuck off.
Calling a national doping programme. Genuinely wish nothing but misery on them and their histrionic nation.
Gold lost to a whitey. Smh.
That was some final leg by Tortu.
We should just nuke Italy at this point.
Genuinely bonkers how Italy have won that.
Italy suddenly being amazing at running is a turn up. Have they been in Milan's labs?
Also, the women's javelin is incredibly confusing as the Australian, Lithuanian and Pole have beautiful faces but then legs like Anthony Ruiz.
Football's coming hoome
I was watching it on silent and was expecting to see Gold Medal Giuseppe pick up on the home leg, but no, they have Inspector Fazio instead and he just powers past our BLM might from miles back. Molte shenanigani, ragazzi.
It isn't a sport if you can do it in jeans (snooker, darts, golf, etc.), so shooting and archery are out and the horse stuff is probably for it as well.
The seethe has not let up.
Forza Italia baby
Do pijamas count? Crucial for the fate of baseball.
What about jorts?
San Marino taking part in the doping programme as well. 3 Olympic medals for them is ridiculous.
Gianni Infantino rocking up to dish out boxing medals at the Olympics is an interesting flex. At least he has to hear God Save the Queen now.
the hurt.
I'm conducting an investigation into a possible Irish doping programme as well after their bottom ranked female golfer came 7th. Will report back.
Choong.
They should change the modern pentathlon to skateboarding, climbing, surfing, table tennis and golfing.
The Bentathlon.
Cracking run by Kerr.
That modern pentathlon horse sounds a right legend, the BBC story is better as it includes this finale:
The horse cleared just four fences before crashing into the fifth and then repeatedly refused to jump, eliminating Schleu with zero points as it had done earlier to another competitor, Gulnaz Gubaydullina.
Xbox, rhythmic TikTok, speed tweeting, social distancing and mental health first aid.
India with their first ever athletics gold medal via the javelin.
Olympic Gold Medalist and Spreadsheet Badboy, Barry Akehurst.
This USA women's 4x400 relay team is fucking bonkers good.
Gold medallist in the 800m, Bronze medallist in the 400m flat plus Gold & Silver in the 400m hurdles.
Only just clocked Brazil v Spain is live and direct via the iPlayer.
France on the verge of a gold in the Men's volleyball.
They've never won a medal before with their best finish being 8th.
They've only even won one bronze at the World Championships.
Add them to Jimmy's list.
They're struggling to put them away though.
In set 3 they had an early lead but flopped and it looks like the same is going to happen in the 4th.
If it does go to a fifth set I can't see France winning.
France have done it.
That final set was brilliant.
Russia went out hard early and it looked like they might cruise it but France got back into it and then they were just trading points for a while.
The point to set up match point was brilliant too, the guy faked that he was going to set a shot before tipping it into open space on the Russian's side of the court.

Only just seen that Viktor Axelsen won the badminton singles.
Beast.
When's this finishing? Sick of hearing about it.
I'm a twit
Tomorrow.
Go hard fellas.
Carnage to start the first race of the Omnium.
Italian out for blood.
That was stunning from Jason Kenny.
