Only if you believed that plum Matt Baker, who made it seem as if they were a shoo-in with one routine remaining. Ended up 4th.

5 live said a score over 12 in the last discipline would get a bronze. It came in at 13, cue celebrations until reality hit home. 

 

Then the Talksport expert said "we are waiting on the final results but I'm confident we are in 3rd".   The presenter had to tell her the American score still had to added. 

 

Talk about amateur hour.

Murray & Evans through to the quarters after saving 2 match points, never knows when to give up does he Murray 

 

what! He’s retiring!

After being so depressed looking at the news coming from Southport tonight, it was uplifting to see the 5 mins of magic from the swimmers and Murray/Evans.

Were the frogs booing Pidcock when he crossed the line  

He broke all the rules regarding cycling in Paris - no stripy shirt, onions round neck or baguette under arm, blatant disregard of etiquette and tradition, instant disqualification called for,

Keep on testing until you find that one tiny patch of water that's not full of shit... forget the rest of it.

Come on Alex Yee!

[foxy boxing]

 YEE YEE What a closing race by Yee. Absolutely amazing to snatch gold.

[Xen]

Wow! Thought Yee was out of it but he's judged that perfectly. Incredible finish!

[kingcarr21]

Yee take a bow

[turlo]

Yee paced that perfectly and didn't panic when the NZL chap built up lead and had enough left in the tank for a strong finish. I honestly thought that was over and turned away to carry on with work!

[trabuch]

Another rowing gold. Quite close!

[foxy boxing]

Great Britain's womens rowers win gold with a last sprint to win on photo finish. 

[turlo]

GB  won that with the last stroke after being behind for 99.9% of the race!

[Xen]

WOW! What a finish!

 

 

Pidcock, Yee and now the women's quad all with last-gasp overtakes. Really bringing the entertainment value with our golds so far!

 

Edit: And a couple of 0.02s silvers in the swimming too. Lots of drama so far.

Wow !

 

Talk about not giving up.

Grabbed the gold at the end x 2.

[KFS]

Very different viewing experience here in the States. It’s got me a bit homesick, to be honest.

 

Showing the medal count over gold wins to make the USA look the best is absolutely wild
