A little modesty at the entrance from Lyles may have gone a long way...

Is there a danger that we finish behind France in the medal table? I’m nervous about this. What happens if it happens? Do we invade? Do we disband the United Kingdom? Or just riot on the streets?

That shock of red hair must add a drag factor 🤔

New WR in women's hurdle. Geez, that wasn't even close. I think they said she'd have qualified for the final of the 400m flat with that time! Amazing! 🙂

Denise Lewis never seems to age. Won’t be long before she prunes up. How old is she?

KJT leading the Heptathlon after 4 events.... I think she needed a bigger gap after the long jump going into the Javelin as Thiam is so strong in that event. She'll have to throw near or above her PB to give herself a chance in the 800m's tonight.....

How the world has changed? The first Olympics I watched was Rome in 1960, the previous one in Melbourne wasn't on tele. Take a look at the medals table: olympics.com/en/olympic-games/rome-1960/medalsIt is pleasing to see how things have balanced up since then and an end to the Soviet Union that included a large chunk of Germany of course. Medals for us and France in those days were as scarce as hen's teeth still in the days of the amateur, whilst the Soviets and American colleges were effectively full time professional athletes like today's athletes. West Germany were "driven" by not wanting to outdone by East Germany. Quiz question? Who was the greatest athlete of all time? IMO Paavo Nurmi the flying Fin. Check it out.

Roughly 11 seconds for KJT to make up in the 800m race later for gold. Think it's slightly too much to make up unless something epic happens....

Throwing a javelin let alone a rock or something 90 plus meters is nuts.

Brilliant to see the yanks make a complete pigs ear of the relay there! Good bronze and silver medals for GB men and women
