This mountain biking is fantastic. Unknown Brit doing brilliantly. He’s not that unknown mate. He’s going to be a superstar. cyclocross is probably his main discipline but he’s got a massive future on the road

Love the Olympics. great last hour for team GB.
Daley and Lee, followed by the mountain biking Tom Pidcock in the last hour. A great selection of sports which I only watch at the Olympics and competitors proud to wave the GB flag and represent the nation.

Even though a @$#&+$ alarm went on in the middle of the night outside and didn't stop for more than an hour, I was too sleepy to get up and watch anything.
But I just read Sarah Sjöström didn't get a medal in one of the swimming disciplines.

Love the Olympics. great last hour for team GB. Daley and Lee, followed by the mountain biking Tom Pidcock in the last hour. A great selection of sports which I only watch at the Olympics and competitors proud to wave the GB flag and represent the nation. Delighted for all the medalists so far today but especially for Tom Daly - it takes a lot of perseverance to win your first gold at your fourth Olympics - especially when he was a hailed as child prodigy at 14. He was hardly a teenager and still at school when I left Plymouth 17 years ago but was already being tipped for great things. His young diving partner today looks to have a great future ahead of him. Delighted for Peaty - nice to see a Stokie confirming his status as the greatest breast stroker of all time! It will be interesting to see what happens to Pidcock in future. To beat the world champion by 20 seconds when you are only 21 and in that heat and humidity is impressive. I suppose he will find it difficult to resist signing up for a major road team as that seems to be where the biggest pay days are. I see we have leapt from 19th to 4th in the medal table today - let's hope we can keep it up.

He's possibly targeting some ofthe one day Classics races, but could also become a good three weeks Grand Tour rider as well - big future ahead of him.

Handball and Football are of special interest. There are many countries who could win the ladies handball and men handball, and women football.
But Sweden have a chance in all three. (We have no men football team there.)
If we win gold in any of these we'll advance in the League considerably!

Really good start to the day. Fantastic to see Pidcock win I saw his MTB world cup win a couple of months back at it was very similar. Hopefully Evie Richards can medal tomorrow as well.
Shame the salom canoist from Stone wasn't able to medal he had been looking strong.

Swedish TV (Kanal 5, Kanal 9, Eurosport, Kanal 11) are really focusing on ball sports. Handball, football, volleyball, tennis, table tennis.
Haven't shown any mountainbike on these as far as I know (at least no replays of it), even though we have a swedish female gold chance hope.

This mountain biking is fantastic. Unknown Brit doing brilliantly. Pidcock is already f£cking good. He’s only going to get better. I hope that INEOS see the value of him as Classics rider, as that has value in its own right. If they want him to be a GC guy, I’d rather see him sign for another team for a while and develop. Grand Tours are not the be all and end all.
