Harsh decision. Sweden lead now. Yes. I didn't see any replays. Changed to Kanal 9 and the Athletics. Heavy raining there. Missed the goal too. Scrappy goal.

i see that the very large lady weightlifter who was a man until a few weeks back hasnt done very well..... Much discussion about two young female/male runners from Namibia. Where to draw the line? Too high testosterone levels. caster semenya was the first with this, was actually intersex wasnt she? regardless this lady from NZ has grown as a man and has a bigger muscle mass and higher bone density as a result, in fairness there would have been hell up had she torn it up and set new records in the process

I think they will show highlights from the game in Football between Sweden and Australia later tonight.
Not much discussion about it in the studio, since they changed personnel and to the drama in Athletics, where Angelica Bengtsson managed to get to the final on Thursday at noon. She has had a difficult season with a change of coach close to the Olympics, some injuries and was really happy she made it to the final. She has the indoors swedish record.
Michaela Meijer who has the outdoors swedish record didn't make it to the final, even though she was close. She has had an even worse season than Angelica perhaps, with Covid-19 twice(!) and a car crash.

Now Highlights from Sweden-Australia semi final in women's football today.
The explanation the expert commentator gave about the Australian disallowed goal was: "A couple of the Australian players started in an offside position at the free kick just to prevent the swedish players to reach Kerr & company."

Well done to Emily Campbell for her silver in the +87kg weightlifting today. First ever British woman weightlifter to win an Olympic medal.

Some excitement in the cycling this morning…
A Danish guy clattered into the back of a British rider and then threw a tantrum.
Seems like there is a possibility the Dane’s may be disqualified. I hope so, only because the behaviour of the Danish cyclist was really poor.

BBC really bought into the Biles show . The greatest moment of the games apparently. They literally didn't speak about the gold and silver medal winners for ages .
Very sad about mental health issues but I'm ready throw my ring up , vomit inducing guff from Irvine and Tweddle

I hope so, only because the behaviour of the Danish cyclist was really poor. Mad morning in the velodrome with records falling all over. Think the commisaires have sent the Danes through to the final (although decision is probably still being challenged), I think because they fired the pistol to signify the catch just before the impact. The chasing team are supposed to overtake on the outside, obviously not a single one of the riders in the competition is looking up so the blame lies with the commisaires and/or the Danish coaches, rather than the riders, for failing to communicate the catch was imminent. Can't be easy communicating when the riders are travelling at >60kph with heads down doing a max effort though. Clearly the Danes are the best team in it so probably best from a sporting point of view for them to be in the final. Hope the guy who was shouting at Tanfield apologised to him though, clearly he was in the moment and mistaken in thinking Tanfield was the 4th rider, even so it's not a good look to be ripping into a guy while he's on the deck after you've gone into his arse. German women absolutely smashed the final of the women's pursuit.

Is it done on golds or overall numbers? Many countries, including the states, do the table differently to us and it's based on overall medal numbers. I'd like to see a pts column at the end too, 3 for gold, 2 for silver, 1 for bronze. That way you get rewarded for coming first and for numbers of medals, seems a fairer way of doing it?

Gold number is priority in the table then silver followed by bronze. Total is just does not count in table position. Must be UK version but to me the best way.

Gold number is priority in the table then silver followed by bronze. Total is just does not count in table position. That's for bet365 too? I know that's how we do it, but others do it on totals. Doing it with points as suggested you get: 1. China G32 S20 B16 = 152 2. USA G24 S27 B20 = 146 3. ROC G13 S21 B18 = 99 4. GB G13 S17 B13 = 86 5. Japan G19 S6 B11 = 70 6. Australia G14 S4 B15 = 65 7. Everyone else Much better

Everyone else Sweden can be a serious contender. So far with only 2 gold medals and 3 silver medals though. The Swedish Women in Football and in Handball still have chances to get the gold though. 22 + 26 = 48 Gold medals. 😉 Sidenote: They have played with almost every player in the tournament. I think only 2-3 players in Football and 2-3 players in Handball have been left out at this point; mostly reserve goalkeepers.
