Hard to disagree although all 4 BMX medals were tremendous to see. One medal that deserves far more credit than it has received is the silver medal won by Emily Campbell in the weight lifting. She only took up the sport 5 or 6 years ago, then in Tokyo she smashed her personal best in order to...

For this reason alone, I really really hope that Tokyo is allowed to host it as soon as they are next able to have it (assuming they want it). It would be lovely to see them host it in 2036 (Brisbane has recently been awarded 2032).

Not sure that's true. We've hoovered up silvers, but there is a clear changing of the guard as the Dutch are very strong. Australia were always close behind us in the cycling but they seem to be absolutely nowhere in this Olympics.

Agree with all of that, especially the 400m hurdles. Incredible. I can't understand anyone who doesn't like the Olympics. Hours of astounding world class sport and just as you think you could do with a change, along comes another sport. And then there's the back stories, and the emotion and...

This final is going to be mental...

I really admired that Danish team until then. Now I hope that prick falls off in the final.

That Dane has embarrassed himself in front of billions. That said, if they're disqualified it will be somewhat of an embarrassment because the Danes have been a class above over the two days.

Good to see. The BMX has been an absolute revelation. I see that today Australia have had their most successful Olympic day ever which is obviously very disappointing. But the reason I say this is that in the BMX they got gold and that is their only non-water based gold of the Olympics, in...

In fairness, rowing has delivered for years and there are many medals at stake. BMX only offers two medals doesn't it?

In all seriousness the head honcho at the rowing fronted up very well this morning, recognising they are accountable and need to make changes without going over the top. Something that hasn't been mentioned is that the rowing group were only made up of 20% returning Olympians where that number...

I've absolutely loved the rugby. Union or league? Meh. Sevens is a far better watch than both of them.

I think the best place for dressage is Britain's got talent, along with the stupid dog trainers. Nothing screams "human talent, fitness and skill" more than sitting on a horse and walking it round a small patio. And then onto the One Show where our horsey Olympians can once again show off...

It's a conundrum. I'd need 2, maybe 3 cups of tea over which to ponder this one.

What a cretin. How difficult can it be to be aware of the bikes on the course FFS.

SA v ARG: this rugby sevens game is incredible viewing.

I really don't understand why this nonsense is in the Olympics, although we usually do well in these events.

Now in front.

GB getting spanked by the US in the rugby sevens here.
