Just thinking of all the NZers who are going to be waking up soon and learning of two Gold Medals overnight.
Five million people, five Olympic Gold medals and these games aren't done.
-
NZ 12th in the medal table.

The golf is interesting with no cut line, so it, like LIV doesnt follow the traditioanal format: it would be interesting to see how many of those beyond the "usual" cut line climbed into the top 10 say.
Do players get ranking points from this?
On the wall climbing, I reckon they should have to start a metre back from the wall rather than pretty much on the wall with grips and foot hold ready to boost up.

Benjamin Thomas of France wins the Men's cycling Ominum to the delight of the home nation's crowd.
14th Gold for the hosts.

Fabulous 200 metres men's final.
A superb performance from Letsile Tebogo of Botswana to win.
19.46
Ice cold!!!!

US Athletics has announced that Noah Lyles has Covid.
He ran 19.70 and secured the bronze medal with Covid. He must be a doubt for the relays.
-
Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan threw 92.97 and Olympic record to lead in the Javelin.
-
Fantastic M Hockey Final
-
Neeraj Chopra of India in second place in Javelin with 89.45.
Still on second round. A good India Vs Pakistan battle ahead.

Some of the Aussie swimmers competed with COVID, so if he can go he could still race

Man, the USA track team are Fast....even with covid Lyles and Sydney in the 400m hurdles are a cut above...
-
Serbia leading the USA 54-43 at half time in the Basketball semi final.

Always good to wake up to 2 more gold medals!! The kerin win was gusty, get to the front on the last lap and back yourself to stay in front all the way was a brave call but a very good one. K4 was excellent, the girls hung in there to stay close enough to the Germans and then timed their run perfectly at the end to pull ahead.
Dame Carrington with 6 gold medals (and with the potential of more to come) - what a national treasure she is!!
-
At the end of the third quarter in the men's basketball semi final, it's Serbia 76, USA 63.
Can America's illustrious lineup pull this around in the fourth quarter?
-
Tebogo looked great - Lyles might have been struggling but Tebogo looked like he had more to give. Also he gave a really lengthy interview to Sky NZ trackside which most champions wouldn't do! He's a sub 45 400m and sub 10 100m man - can't be many of them. I think he knew that if he was ahead coming into the bend he had the strength from the longer distance to see them off.
-
Four points in the Serbia-US basketball game with five minutes to go.
-
All tied up 84-84, with 3.30 to play, great US comeback.
-
Steph Curry and King James stepping up and making it count when it matters. Going to another level. Brilliant!
