It is incredible, but I suppose it's the way to do it. Target the sports you are good at. All the US medals have been in swimming. The Chinese have a decent spread.

 

Be interesting to see how the Chinese do on the track. Can't seem them being much cop with their little legs.

Could be tough on him physically. I think the mixed doubles is before the singles which shouldn't stress him too much, but I think the final with Federer is 5 sets. We shall see. It'd be incredible if he could pull off 2 golds.

 

I want Fed to win the singles. Would be good if we won the doubles though.

Just realised it is over 5 sets. Have to favour Roger in that scenario.

 

Yer, I forgot about that. Will perhaps favour Federer. It all depends on whether it is under roof or not and whether Murray is tired from the Mixed Doubles. I suspect he won't be tired for the Mixed Doubles because it is basically just a stroll for the top players used to playing singles.

 

We shall see. Anything can happen.

Just seems a mental amount of races that are very similar. Like adding another 20 races in the cycling by adding another 2 laps of the velodrome

 

Main thing I think is the different strokes. Different distances is fair enough. You can't run backwards or cycle backwards and sideways or whatever.

Not if he wins gold he isn't.

 

His best before was a Commonwealth Silver medal 7 years ago.

 

If he wins gold he'll be a ginger hero. It'll be a great step forward for them and he'll be a great inspiration to all ginger people around the world giving them the belief they can overcome adversity and achieve something.

Is it me or is the team GB football team completely average?

 

This.

 

After watching South Korea in Cov last Sunday it was clear that they are a capable side. Frankly, to get this far owes more to Jack Butland's individual performance v Uruguay then anything about the team' itself.

Bracing myself for the white knuckle ride of the 10000m.

 

Well done to Rutherford. Quality win.

 

Right, I'll say it. Isn't the amount of hyperbole surrounding Ennis just a but too much? Yes she's clearly good and has achieved something amazing, but then so have all the gold medal winners and the media really do seem to go over the top about her. If she was a munter there's no way they'd bang on about her quite so much.
