    @act-crusader just saw a tweet that said we had finished 4th place five times. No wonder he's emotional

    Yeah mate. Between Olympics, World Champs and other comps, they have found themselves in 4th a fair bit.

    The emotion really spilling over with Mills, Ingles, Goorj.

    Tbh they all look like they could use a sandwich.

    Russian clears 204. That is probably gold

    They still look fat compared to the distance runners

    4 x 400m men's relay.

    USA win gold in a season best, but the biggest surprise are the Dutch, who win silver in only their second appearance in this event (1980 being the first). Botswana win Bronze, I think they said in an African record.

    Brazil scored in extra time and have taken the gold over Spain after 2 hours of football.

    Weren't they defending gold medallists from 2016?

    Are you watching replays? That happened yesterday.

    Or have I misunderstood?

    Lol. Basically I haven’t been watching the Olympics and of course I don’t see any New Zealand coverage so I’m way behind :-).
