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]

We're they the higher ranked crew? That Romanian crew was way too strong
