<p>6:08 but not really comparable because London had much more favourable conditions.</p>

Yessss. Slow start but Hamish Bond and the White Jules Winfield win another gold and it's not close

[Billy Tell]

Well that was satisfying. A balm on the 7s wound.

[Bovidae]

<p>Ditto.  I don't know if I will get to sleep now.  :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hopefully this is the first of many medals from the rowers.</p>

Congratulations to Bond and Murray on another Olympic Gold Medal. Unbeaten since 2009. Ruthless Kiwi champions.

[Mofitzy]

<p>So from this list we have got 1/2 predicted golds so far, 1/1 predicted silvers and 1 unexpected silver, and 0/1 bronze.</p>

<p>Rowing. Lightweight Men's Four.</p>

[Unco]

<p>Not looking like a medal. That first lane is a killer.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>5th - a bit disappointing.</p>

[sparky]

Looking at who is left in the 7s Semi Finals, I want our Bok cousins to win the Gold.

<p>Fiji for me. That'd be awesome.</p>

[Gary]

<p>backing Fiji and someone to shoot Keith Quinn - he spends more time talking about everything other than the game -what players had for breakfast, who their grandfather is, what their uncles dog called</p>

[Tordah]

<p>NZ must have the worst penalty ratio for/against in the tournament. Lots and lots of dumb play (I'm talking sevens of course, I don't give a shit about the Olympics)</p>

A couple of dodgy calls against GBR in that first half but only down 5-0 at the break. <br><br>
GBR hit back straight after HT and up 7-5. Norton showing a clean pair of heels to beat his defender. <br><br>
GBR dangerous up the middle. Boks look good when they get it wide<br><br><br>

GBR win. Tough game. I think the two best teams will play for gold. <br><br><br>

<p>Hmmm, it's going to be a tough choice choosing whether to support Fiji or Great Britain.</p>
