If Lisa happens to win her eighth gold in the individual she will slot into the alltime list at 16th - pushing Usain Bolt down to 17th, by dint of having a bronze medal that Usain doesn't have!

If she doesn’t win we know who to blame….

@ACT-Crusader Hopefully Aimee Fisher!

Big pressure on Fisher now. After having beat Carrington in the lead up, she will expect much. But the Olympics are Lisa's party, I hope whatever happens we get a NZ 1-2, and I wouldn't bet against the Dame

[barky1]

And beaten

[Nevorian]

And then it gets broken, twice,must be a fast track

Sport

Watching the games in Oz is insufferable, Channel 9 News in particular, virtually hijacked by reports on the games, reporting like no other country was in the Olympics and not even putting on much news. Gave a whole lot of their journalists including the weatherman a cushy gig in Paris.

Do you not have Stan?

You can get all the jingoistic Unzid coverage you'd ever want ...

[SBW1]

No but it would be preferable.

11th on the medal table. With a solid haul of gold and silver. Think Germany is too far ahead to get any higher up.

[canefan]

Lids is tied for the lead after 10 holes

[ACT Crusader]

Lydia drops a shot to give up outright lead.

Now 4 tied for 1st

[ACT Crusader]

A couple of the joint leaders drop shots, so it’s Lydia and Uribe out in front.

[ACT Crusader]

Great approach shot by Lydia. Chance for a birdie

[sparky]

Lydia Ko leads the Olympic Golf competition!

[MiketheSnow]

Fascinating

[sparky]

Lydia Ko finishes the day tied for lead on -9. Final round tomorrow.

[MiketheSnow]

Absolute fucking shambles

It's like watching a Bar Mitzvah

Breaking? Broken

Just bad dancing

A beauty of a free kick by Alex Baena of Villarreal in the men's football final. Spain leading France 3-1 at the Parc Des Princes.

Does anyone know what happened to the outstanding Parisian poster on here who shared a name with that venue?

I hope wherever he is that he's proud of the superb job his city has done hosting these games.
