@nostrildamus I was referring to the Latvian javelin thrower in the final. Her name is Madara Palameika.

The last 15 mins of ET was more exciting than the penalty shootout. The Swedes were all over Canada and had their chances. I reckon there was only about 2 decent penalties across both teams in the shootout. The last pen was a poor effort too.

The final around of the ladies golf will start an hour earlier and off two tees in order to get it all done without being too impeded by the weather
Lydia is the last group off 1 with Nellie Korda and Aditi Ashok at 8.18am Nz time. Great chance of a medal if she plays as well as last two days. Let’s go Lydia!

She smashed the front 9 two days ago then the back nine yesterday. Needs to join the two together.

May have been posted earlier, but just reading Nick Willis ran the fastest ever 1500 metre time by a 38 year old in his semi.

Seriously, how do you screw up a baton change at this level?
The higher the level, the faster you're going, so the less room for error.
You see far fewer baton change fuck ups at club/amateur level, simply because they're moving much slower.

Early in the final round and Lyds is playing well, tied in bronze position with a birdie putt to come. I haven't been paying much attention but the comms think that if she had putted better she would be even better placed. Tee to green this hole has been precise

@canefan she just drained a chip from off the green, wife got a shock when I yelled “get in the hole”

I agree it’s much harder than it looks but the US didn’t even look like they had trained for it. South Africa was even worse. Dude didn’t even have his hand out.

Didn't see it as I popped away for 5 minutes. What happened?

@canefan missed green had about 20 FT chip up hill tight pin, ball didn't get to top and came back to her feet, twice.
