Haven't been impressed by some of the TV production work tonight. As well as there being too much spider cam during live play at the Sevens, the sailing producers love to cut away to yet another close up just when potential carnage is starting to unfold at the mark roundings.

Also I watched 3 on 3 basketball and it is some uni games shit.
In-laws were over and wanted to watch the news. I was assured they would cut the news for the finish. They did not. I hate Ch7.
Now I won't watch anything until the running starts.
I'm guessing one of the advantages of polygamy is that the multiple in-laws visiting would be too busy fighting to notice the tv is on the sports channel..

As it stands, a single gold would out us into 19th, 2 would put us into 11th. Currently at 34th on the table.
Fingers crossed for Dame Valerie and the rowers.
Women's 7s, pretty good shout

Still 0-0 in the football vs Romania.
Gawd soccer is a bore
Romanians are diving so much they should be in the pool

True. The Tennis players have quietly snuck into the semi finals too.

Funny too with a Peruvian ref, who you would think would whistle those dives.
Anyway, a 0-0 draw. Good enough for NZ to advance to the QFs - a first.

Haven't fully caught up in the Simone Biles thing, but other famous giverer upperers include:
Roberto Duran, "No mas"
Os du Randt, "gatvol"
Sally Robbins, "lay down Sally"Frankly, I'm of the opinion that the GOAT doesn't quit, and " mental health " is being used as to shield herself from criticism. But its happened before.

Into the semis in the Tennis mens doubles.
This is complete nuts to me.
A chance for medal in tennis? what the actual fuck? It's been 25 years since we've even had a top 40 tennis player.
Where's Venus rated in doubles?
Edit: currently ranked 20 in doubles

I typically am too. The only caveat here is that it doesn't sound altogether safe to be launching yourself into the air like she does if your scone isn't all there. It's a dangerous sport, and there is precedent there.
We all saw how long it took for Col Trickle to get his head right, and Cougar never made it back.
