Being a Laser sailor myself I will be keenly watching Sam Meech in his first race at 5.30pm. He won Bronze last time out so hopefully he can get on the podium again.

Kiwis in third at the moment.

[Stargazer]

Now 4th, they'r not going to make this, I think.

[Stargazer]

Italy 1st
Australia 2nd
GB 3rd
NZ 4th, still fighting for that 3rd spot.

They need to finish 2nd (if I heard that correctly).

Grumpy, because they're not showing the men's tennis double on Sky Sport, but a women's singles game.

[Stargazer]

@bovidae So that race was 50m too long for a medal.

Yes. The only swimmer slower in the last 50 m was the winner!

Needs to work on his butterfly.

Probably blew his load a bit last night in the heats. But with no semis it’s very difficult to ease off.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

How utterly ridiculous that they can’t take off their masks on the podium.

[Stargazer]

Emma Twig leading after 500m.
