Game over.

SWEDEN 🇸🇪
Watched the swimming. Sarah Sjöström is absolutely marvellous! Down with an elbow fracture in February and now went through to the next stage after some strong swimming. Lovely! 🏊
Nilshagen to the finale in Dressage. Very good! 🏇
However, two young girls lost and out from the table tennis singles. 🏓
In the early morning the gents in Handball won vs Bahrain by 32-31, thanks to a penalty save in the last seconds by Pallicka. The Swedes were huge favourites and most thought a 40-19 victory or something. 🤾
How are the Brits doing?

Sorry a bit late with this but did anyone see the men's cycling road race today? Was that brutal? I thought it was gob smacking sporting theatre, the assault on that final mountain with a 20% gradient just took my breath away, they must have wings on their wheels

My focus so far have been Ladies Football and will be Handball Ladies and Handball Men. Swimming. And all the Athletics, especially Pole Vault and Long jumps. Where the Swedes have some Gold Medal chances. Also Mountainbike and Dressage then plus Skateboard. I might have forgotten some.

I thought it was gob smacking sporting theatre, the assault on that final mountain with a 20% gradient just took my breath away, they must have wings on their wheels I watched the last 50 kms - 33 deg C, very high humidity, and over 6 hours racing ! Great result for Carapaz, just a pity he couldn't have done the same in the recent TDF. Good performance by Adam Yates as well, and I was pleased that neither Pogacar or Van Aert won the gold medal. The ladies race should be good tomorrow, and then there's the time trials later in the week.

The women’s football was probably the worst 55 mins ive ever had the misfortune to watch ever!

Yep, I'm just in awe at the raw physicality of the thing, I mean you are 200km in to your day, confronted with a mountain so steep you'd he hard pushed to walk up it and yet the competitors are up on the pedals absolutely caning it, the whole spectacle just leaves me speechless.

An Austrian woman won the cycle race today. And the one from The Netherlands who was second thought she'd won!! That's what was most sensational today in Tokyo.
Sweden Handball women just won vs Spain comfortably. Sensationally good.
Källberg, swedish table tennis guy won vs the third ranked American. Next round he'll meet the Chinese who is ranked 5th in the world. Tough!
Atm France - USA 59-56 in basket! Sensational.

The swedish girl close but didn't reach the final. Referee corruption?? All experts internationally went on twitter immediately with "congrats to a place in the final!".
She was like 0,011 points away.

I'm enjoying this series on iPlayer, "Gold Rush: Our Race to Olympic Glory," about turning the GB Olympic team around from the failures of the 90s. It's making me want to watch more of the sports I wouldn't usually watch (I haven't watched anything yet this year apart from a couple of opening ceremony clips). www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000xpm8/gold-rush-our-race-to-olympic-glory-series-1-episode-1Episode 2 was excellent: lots of lows and highs about the buildup to the Beijing Games and the bid for the London Olympics. Episode 3 (the final episode) is about London itself. I don't have many regrets, but one of them is not applying for tickets to London 2012. I remember a lot of negativity and worries about terrorism in the buildup, but it turned out to be outstanding.
