Didn't see that coming

[foxy boxing]

A Fingertip too far! Oh well.

[PhillippaT]

Argggh. Close.

[bovril]

what a race

[tom27111]

Does that mean we don't have to watch any more BBC clips where Adam Peaty is dressed like a rapper from the mid-nineties?

 

Because I'm all for that.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

I blame the BBC.

Where's VAR when you need it! 

[RowlattsFox]

Very close, great race when it's so competitive. Peaty still a swimming legend.

Peaty a legend but the BBC going over the top a bit here! Crying etc.

makes sense

If I'm being hypercritical, 59.03 to win gold is a time that Peaty would best in his sleep four years ago and beat handily in his heat and semifinal.

 

But after all he's gone through this past year or two, silver isn't bad.

Poor chap must've been dehydrated with the BBC making him cry every 5 minutes.

Well done Adam as wasn’t in top form tbh so not the obvious favourite like the BBC suggested.

BBC will be devastated!

She’s had plenty of the team over the years if rumours are to be believed

Olympic athletes are at it like rabbits in the village, right? Lucky them  

[RowlattsFox]

Losing is never great but that reaction from the Japanese judo women?  

 

[Super_horns]

Bad night for the French ladies - lost to Canada in the 12th minute of injury time.

 

Canada could go through despite having 0 points.

Huge win for us against France.

 

Now we have to beat Colombia.

 

Be amazing to go through after the 6 point deduction.

Well done to our ladies for sticking together. Backs against the wall,  dug deep, believed, got'er done. Hats off to the gals!

 

No doubt about it.

 

Fook all the hosers!

Chinese divers are utter freaks (in a nice way)

Baring a cock up Tom Daley and Noah Williams (yes there is two of them !) set to get second in the diving .

China in a different league.
