I've just seen the replays of the men's speed climbing SFs, 3rd/4th and final. It only took a minute.

Such fine margins, and the USA favourite had to settle for bronze despite breaking the WR again.

How did our boy go?

8th, so not great after reaching quarterfinals.

He was drawn against the aforementioned Sam Watson in the QF.

Great wrestle in the wrestling freestyle 86kg quarter final between San Marino and Azerbaijan. Heaps of action and very close judging by the score.

My god Dame Lisa is one tough women. Clearly headed and the Germans were pulling away but she gritted her teeth and refused to be beat and dug in real hard to get narrowly in front and doggedly hung on.

Now time for the men to pull their weight. Not holding my breath.

What a moment for Lisa Carrington, her sixth Olympic gold medal, and seventh overall. That's a first Olympic medal for Alicia Hoskin, Tara Vaughan, and Olivia Brett.

If we finish in the top 5 we will have done pretty well.

Oz and Germans fighting for the gold I reckon.

False start

Hope that false start rattles some of the fancied teams 😉
