Stensness is a DM but ended up playing as a centre back. Pijnaker also impressed so we have some depth now. We just need to be more clinical on attack.
Yup. Wood is EPL clinical when he gets a sniff of the ball in front of goal. We need to be more positive in possession. But there are signs, the second goal vs Honduras was a beautiful goal

A couple of giant Swedes take gold and silver in discuss throwing.

@antipodean I don’t think ganja is on the banned list 😉

Does not appear to be a happy team
Fraser-Price and Jackson are close friends but Thompson-Herah is a bit out on her own

They have a documented systemic doping issue.

So far not looking like much room for movement in the equestrian bar a major fuckup/fall. The course appears to be set to challenge 90% of the riders but the elite 5* ones are finding it relatively easy in both time and difficulty.
Do we have a team in eventing this year?

Yep. Three individuals that then count together for a team score. Medal chance in both.

Just watching the women's hammer throw. Julia Ratcliffe had a first throw of 73.20 m, which was 30 cm shy of the qualifying mark. There were 3 automatic qualifiers in her group so she currently sits 4th, and will need to waith for the second group (including Lauren Bruce) to see if she advances to the final. A good chance for both I think.
Shot final to start soon.

Alcohol is often a catalyst to conception but at least you should have sobered up by naming time.

Another gold to Aus women swimmers. Incredible games from them.
