Brilliant from the women in the quad sculls, chasing the Dutch all race and sneaked over the line for gold with their last stroke!

Interesting comment in the diving that because the North Koreans don't compete often the judge's don't know them so may not judge based on reputation! The fact the Moroccan woman had her name in gold makes you think! She was also massive! ๐

Sweden-Slovenia men's Handball
Sweden Men team are more favourites than the Sweden Women team to get a gold (even though none of them are #1 favourites).
However, it seems the Sweden Women team have started this tournament a bit better?!
Slovenia lead by 9-6 atm.

From my limited knowledge we've been shafted in 4 of those 5! ๐คฌ Pro boxing judges are bad enough .how two can judge fights 6 points one way and another 6 the other which we've seen recently is beyond me but Olympic boxing is judged differently. Blows landed score points on certain zones and some of the judging in LA was ridiculous. Was a fight where the ref overruled the judges decision which he was allowed to do, taking the win off an Italian and giving it to the American fighter. London wasn't much better when a Ukrainian was given a decision over a Thai boxer who had points oddly deducted late on when winning.

BMX riders are mental. Great silver there for us that french man was in tears. The French man Jean-Jean was the best round for entertainment and skills to my untrained eye and the commentators were giving it between 95 - 97 it got 93. The GB guy was good but steady somehow got 93.7 the winner was good also.
