    Women's sprinting become a bit disappointing. No Fraser-Pryce in the 100m yesterday, now no Jackson in the 200m.

    Never seen these before, they're quality. We'll lose of course.

    Blew it, having a man advantage for most of the game, and a brief spell with 2 men up to start the 4th quarter.

    Still don't understand why football shootouts aren't done in that style. Much more entertaining than penalties.

    Great performance by Becky Moody and Jagerbomb this morning. Even if EuroSport think she’s from Sheffield

    thoroughly enjoying the coverage - prefer the events which have a first past the post as winner rather than competitions that are 'judged' and points awarded.
    interesting that the shallower the pool the 'slower' the swimming. Ledecky brilliant!
    and why in the gymnastics bar finals for some competitors does the trainer stand very close to the apparatus?

    It’s a safety thing for the more difficult moves.

    Brilliant for Harry to get bronze and GBs first ever vault medal at age 20.

    Just to make everyone feel old. It's 12 years today since the Super Saturday at London 2012.

    And what a night that was, 3 British Golds, and I'd never even heard of Greg Rutherford before.

    You could go for a swim in Josh Kerr's beard.
