The Chinese are just astonishing in the synchronised diving this morning. GB currently in second.

was actually listening on radio to that one...Tom Daley and the other bloke just missing out, the Chinese too good.

They really were, ridiculous talent from the Chinese, just another level.  Daley and Williams couldn't have done anything more.

1st Gold Medal for Team GB in the team eventing. Off the mark.

Absolutely stunning ride so far by Pidcock after his puncture. There's a bit in this race yet.

[Crazyfool01]

appeal ? 

[MilkyJoe]

Unbelievable stuff. I'm sure it will be looked at but I don't think it will be overturned. Pidcock was in front when they came together.

First time I've watched olympic Mountain Biking and I think I chose a good one to start on.😁 That was an outstanding ride by Pidcock to make up 37 seconds. The final lap was gripping.

Top of the medal table at the moment. Have to agree the gymnastics was something else. So many mistakes as teams tried to ramp up the difficulty to gain points. Best day so far yesterday in terms of edge of your seat stuff. Will take some beating.

Men's Triathlon has been postponed until tomorrow while they carry out water quality tests on the Seine. They are putting it down to the biblical rainfall which fell last week which is kind of understandable.

 

Women's Gymnastics final at 5pm though and lots of swimming tonight to look forward to.

A once in a lifetime photo! 👏

So the Trap Shooting is more exciting than I thought it would be. It's like a massive penalty shootout!😁

 

Edited to add that is Team GB's 3rd Gold Medal.👏

By far the dullest spectator sport I've ever seen. Congratulations on him for winning gold, but I couldn't stick with it until the end!

occasionally youd get the commentary saying that was a good shot .... I mean I couldn't see any of the shots so I wouldnt know ... I nodded off tbh 🙂 

[steviewevie]

watching women's gymnastics and isn't time they did away with the silly dance stuff when they do the floor thingy?

[steviewevie]

...although that sounds sh*t because what they do inbetween the silly dancey stuff is flipping amazing.

 

[steviewevie]

...and I can't watch the beam. Terrifying.

[steviewevie]

but Simone Biles is box office. Absolutely amazing.

[MilkyJoe]

Looking pretty good for another medal here but I can’t see anybody usurping team USA.
