Armand Duplantis in the Pole Vault qualification during the night. But I will, as always, skip the night watch and see the daypass tomorrow. The final w Daniel Ståhl in discus, for instance. Gold and Silver to Sweden: Daniel Ståhl, Gold Simon Pettersson, Silver We're no longer last in the Medal League.

The shine is taken off this olympics a little by the almost unavoidable spoilers before you watch anything. Usually don't find it that hard to avoid spoilers, but the Olympic reporting is more or less the mainstream news, especially if GB win a medal or there is a big star involved (eg Helen Glover), and you have to then avoid any news report for the entire day. For me it's not even spoilers. I just can't get motivated to watch any sport unless it is happening live--knowing something has been already decided (even while not knowing the results at the time) just kills any excitement for me. Guess I'm weird that way.

A fantastic achievement. By a Scot no less. Not that you’d know if you follow the Scottish media. Or indeed, our Dear Leader, wee Nippy, who seems to have forgotten the Olympics are on judging from her Twitter feed; just the one carefully crafted and somewhat delayed tweet after his first medal from the prolific tweeter. I wonder why.

Just seen a video of Charlotte Worthington winning gold in the BMX freestyle.
Check it out.
In her first ride in the final she tries a trick that, apparently, had never been done before and fluffed it falling off her bike.
In her 2nd ride, she went for the same trick… and nailed it. And followed that up with some more breathtaking stuff - a 360 turn was amazing.
Such skill. Such courage.
Brilliant to see.

Good to see different events like BMX and skateboarding. I know it may not be to the approval of the purists, but the world has changed and these new events reflect that. I’ve found them quite interesting and appealing. I still think there may be hope for me as an Olympian when burger eating is introduced 😂😂.

I was watching it in the early hours, incredible what they can do on those bikes, surprised to see your post saying she got Gold, the American girl looked to have it won when I went to bed, the commentator even said everyone else, including Charlotte, were competing for Silver and Bronze.
