Wesche is only 22 years old. Hopefully has still quite a few Olympics in her. So much promise. Will be keeping an eye on her from now.

So chilled I thought she might do the last throw in her jandals

An emotional interview with Valerie Adams. She said that this bronze medal means more to her than both gold medals because of the sacrifices she has made over the last 9 months. I am sure it will appear on YT.

Aussie chicks nudge out USA for Medley relay. Lot of gold right there from the female swimmers

If it gets more kids off the phone and into the skatepark then all good. I don't have to watch it.

For those interested in the Bball, big game up tonight with Slovenia against Spain. Both are undefeated and Doncic is playing the house down for Slovenia. Winner will top the pool heading into the QFs.

This is a very good game.

Luka picked up 3 very early fouls but Slovenia were able to hang tough. He’s filling the stat sheet other than fouls though.

Rubio and Gasol (Mark) play very well together.
