There could could always be surprises, but what other golds have we got to come, realistically?

Women's Hockey will get either gold or silver.

Women's Hockey will get either gold or silver.

True, but I was strictly thinking realistic, to the point of being guaranteed as far as they can, gold medal chances. It'd be great to win the hockey gold, but we're second favourites against the Dutch there and I would class that as a bonus gold, if it were to happen.

China have caught us, the race to second should be interesting but it would take something special to maintain our position with China mopping up all the golds in ping pong and diving.

I'd be surprised if we did it but to be in 2nd on day 13 is an achievement in its self

More gold medals than France and Australia put together - very pleasing.

I'm also enjoying chuckling at Ireland's usual impressive haul - two silver medals for them, just below sporting giants like Singapore, Fiji , the Bahamas and Kosovo in the medals table. Worth remembering all your Oyrish chums giggling at England's recent Euro and Rugby world cup failures on Facebook.

Sour grapes by the bucket load from the French and Russians. The Frogs are saying we are only getting this medal haul due to the Russians being absent and the Russians are claiming its because we have senior members in WADA, IAAF and the IOC?!? Not sure how those members transfer their influence into performances in various events but when did logic or truth ever figure in the Russian vocabulary? I guess all we need now is some corrupt boxing judges and a state sponsored doping program and we can push on and top the medal table eh?

We also have another current Taekwondo World Champion in a heavier weight division - Bianca Walkden

 

[crodonilson]

So far so good for the Brownlees, cycling course suits them but the heat is punishing so they'll need a decent gap before the run.

 

[ManOfSussex]

1-1 in the Badminton. Deciding game coming up.

 

[Bwian]

Stop biting your ****ing medals!

Agreed-WTF is that all about?

 

[ManOfSussex]

Bronze in the Badminton.

The Chinese were destroyed 21-10 in the 3rd game. Ruddy marvellous.

Annoyingly, Yorkshire are 17th in the medal table.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Go Brownlees. Both in a leading group of 3 at start of the run.

 

[whitelion]

Brilliant running from the Brownlees - be great for a one/two
