    76km to go in the men's road cycle race, there is a Kiwi rider near the head of the peleton, which is only seconds behind a small lead group. There were two, but I can't see the second rider

    The Dutch anchor in the mixed 4 x 100 is arguably the best run I’ve ever seen.

    Incredible.

    Timed to perfection by Bol

    Must be liberating for her running flat

    The Italian triple jumper is easy on the eye.

    She ran like it was 100 m even though it was actually 400 m!

    @Billy-Tell said in Olympics Thread:

    Is there any evidence against the Chinese swimmer…or is just that he’s Chinese?

    Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

    But if you google him now it’s all about the speculation of being a drugs cheat.

    Absolutely shameful.

    Awesome result.

    Even if St Lucia and the Dominican triple jumper fuck up our Per Capita standing ...

    But imagine if she was a Chinese swimmer ...

    I mean if his name was Marchand no one would bat an eyelid.

    The Chinese do have history so im not saying he’s definitely clean but it strikes me as a bit of racism for the moment.

    I think that's pushing it.

    Freak performance from a country with form.

    @Billy-Tell probably more casual than actual.

    Brett Hawke knew what he was doing.

    New Zealand at 7 medals kind of feels we are in a holding pattern and are a bit stuck. Can we beat 20?

    I don't think we can. Where will they come from? Canoeing and kayaking? Cycling? Outside chance in the high jump?
