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

    I think we know who is winning the women's 4 x 100.

    Fraser-Price and Jackson are close friends but Thompson-Herah is a bit out on her own

    They have a documented systemic doping issue.

    The sprint commentator really lays it on thick.

    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.

    And she broke the OR in each race leading in according to the commentators. Built nicely

    Nigerian sprinter and 2008 Olympics long jump silver medalist Blessing Okagbare test positive to HGH after winning her heat.

    So she lives up to her name for the bronze medalist.
