A nice touch for coxswain Caleb Shepherd to put the silver medals around the necks of the women.

Trampoline and tennis the other medal events for us today.
Maybe a bronze in the tennis?

Now that the regatta is over, and I cant jinx it ...

I'm not happy about the white rower singlet. The black rowing singlet is up there' in the iconic sporting uniforms for NZers.

Is climate related?

@frye it's funny, every Olympics I go in like meh, I dont really care.

But once they start I end up watching loads of sports I've never watched before, and probably wont ever again, even hockey, I dont watch any games outside Comm and Olympic games, but always enjoy them!

In a swimming final soon too.

Not a favorite though, I'm guessing.

That's what I wondered. But if the hockey and football teams can handle it, why would it be?

@crucial I saw a thing with Venus' coach on TV, he was confident he should take the Bronze, reckoned they were good enough for gold, but just didnt happen.

The cox in the men's 8 is a woman, the cox in the women's 8 is a man. What gives?

@canefan the rule was changed after Rio, so I guess the teams choose the best fit
