@mikedogz he’s an outside chance of medaling. Hopefully he can surprise.

Watching the men's canoe sprints.
The Kiwi commentator obviously doesn't know that STP stands for Sao Tome and Principe. Looooong pause before just referring to them as STP again
They've dusted the cobwebs off John McBeth. The expert commentator is Ben Fouhy.
I'm watching a BBC broadcast I think. It's a pom and a kiwi.
Kiwi is Mark Watto DAMN HARD Watson

On Lisa's chinups (from 2012)
Yeah I’m still calling complete bs on that. She perhaps does a total of 30 during a workout but no freaking way is she doing 30 in a row.
But I would totally marry her. Absolutely adore women like her. Actual strong women, not the pearl clutching pretenders.

Next medal events are Diving final and another sail race. Then track cycling.
Unlikely for medals in any of those
mens pursuit team should medal. Just need to get past the italians to get to the final. Only 200ths of a second behind them in the first round so defo doable

Yeah - I liked the look of us.
Italians looked like they're going to rely a lot on Ganna's power to get them home - but, we looked more of a team.
I quietly think we'll take them - but, if we don't we should have the measure of the Brits.

Pom women crash into each other once they've finished.. fuck that was embarassing!
those bikes don't like lateral load lucky they didn't snap anything!

The stress fractures you can't see are the ones that get you.

yep. I'd still be taking hte piss out of the aussie made bars snapping but I'm pretty sure we're using hte same aero bars (3D titanium printed)- not base bars - so will keep quiet til after we've gone!
the Poms Yanks race was an awesome example of aero prowess vs outright grunt. Aero won (with a bit of grunt)
