Worthington takes gold!

[marra]

Charlotte Worthington has guaranteed a medal, and is leading with 2 riders to go in BMX Freestyle. She fell on run one, but then threw in a trick on run 2 that had never been competed in competition to take the gold medal position. Ballsy move.

I know that a couple of days ago a good number of our sailors were in medal positions in the standings then but I don't think the relevant categories have reached the medal race quite yet.

Of course, the best way to not come across as hysterical is to write a lengthy slightly hysterical post

And the medals.. Hopefully a few here and maybe some heavy metal. Swimming, golf, gymnastics apparatus, theoretically men's 100m 😁 Don't know about the sailing. We have finalists in both the BMX Freestyle events, but no-one in diving.

Clarke will be hard pushed, his next fight is against the French guy who beat him in the final of the Euro qualifiers and if he wins that, he has to fight the current world champion who is now fighting as a pro

Yeah, I doubt he'll final but if he can beat the French lad that will get the bronze.

Updating my earlier post. Our current total of 8G, 9S, 10B means that this is the 11th best Summer Olympics for GB in terms of both Golds won and total medals. With the 4 boxing medals guaranteed, the total medals will end up being the 9th best Games for us, even if we win no others.

Pat retains the bragging rights in the McCormack family home, as brother Luke loses to Cuba's Andy Cruz in his last 16 match. Cruz looks like another in a long line of top notch Cuban boxers.

NZ definitely the best team out there but France are no mugs. They are solid in women's 7s (compared to the men's where they are awful). Absolutely the right final.

Women's 7s team finished 4th, like the Men. Both teams will be disappointed but they probably both outperformed their rankings to get to that stage.

Can't stop those Fijians ... gold and bronze from the two events. Good for them. Think NZ have this final...

Being a stubborn chap I will try again to comment on the medley relay.

Was a great performance. Guy was brilliant. If he can repeat that form tomorrow the men will fancy their chances , I think. Hopkin will also be glad she gave up the 50 free to concentrate on that : she was given a nice lead but had some big names chasing her and held them all off really well - never in doubt !

Hope this version passes the censors...

[alfie]

Yafai had a arrow escape then ! Was sweating on the decision after that last round : though how three judges failed to give him the second round is totally beyond me ! Deserved the win but might need to be more careful next round.

With a Gold / WR in the swimming mixed medley, maybe the mixed events will be the ones for us - an omen for the X4x400m later? 👀

[Occasional Hope]

Great performance from the mixed triathlon relay team to win gold.
