    @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.

    Just didn't happen... playing against a guy who was once no. 3 in the world at singles and a former US Open champ might have something to do with it....

    I see we are at the dizzying heights of 12th on the medal table for now.

    Tennis

    I don't know whether it has been mentioned, but according to Sky's tv guide, the men's double match for bronze will be shown on Tokyo 2020 channel 10 (6pm NZT).

    @crucial A very good performance. I assume he'll face the Russian no.1 as the 4th seed.

    I donlt think the Olympics is the place for participation awards.

    But then again it's got ribbon dancing so what the fuck do I know?

    It might be the case with all the fighting sports? Is there 3/4 fights for judo, Taekwondo or karate?
