I was thinking something similar yesterday. Both London and Paris will have hosted 3 times by then, so why not? If that's not viable, I'd like to see individual Olympic sports host their next World Championships in Tokyo. It would be both a continual legacy of sport and an ongoing gift to the...

Yes indeed. The Olympics helps to remind us that sport isn't all about £100m players going from one club to another. It's about people following their passions and making huge sacrifices during their lives for the chance of something that's bigger than money. Only 3 years until Paris now. I...

5 more golds than Australia and 19 more medals in total. 7 more medals than host nation Japan. 2 more golds than Russia. It's been good. Now that the USA have 1 more gold than China, one wonders if their preferred choice of medal table will revert back to the traditional form... :wink:

What a last day of the Olympics. Kipchoge covered the stretch between 30K and 35K in 14:28, 30 seconds faster than any previous 5K split! Jason Kenny deciding to go for home right from the start in the Keirin and destroying the field. Fortune favours the brave. Lauren Price taking gold in...

Great story about Bruce Springsteen's daughter Jessica representing USA in the Team Showjumping and getting a silver. Glory Days.

What a run by Josh Kerr. Bronze medal in the 1500m and almost a silver. 63 GB medals so far. Just 2 behind London, 4 behind Rio.

Great finish - Joe had obviously held something back for that last 800m. Nailed his shooting in the last round.

It's Modern Pentathlon time again. Saint Boy, the horse of the German rider, has been replaced for today. As a bit of background info, the horses would normally be ridden twice in both Men's and Women's competitions - a total of 4 runs. Both of the Women Pentathletes who rode Saint Boy were...

So close to that relay Gold! Argh!!! I was in the Athens stadium for that 2004 4x100m gold medal when we won by 1/100 sec. But Italy have had a fantastic time in the athletics with so many golds.

Brilliant tactical run from Muir for silver!

After all the GB success of our Toms (Daley, Dean and Pidcock) a week ago, it's all about the Kates and Lauras today. Kate French - gold Kate Archibald - gold Laura Kenny - gold It'll be very tough with Sifan Hassan in the race, but let's hope Laura Muir can end up with a medal shortly.

Her shooting was the difference here - unlike the others, I'm not sure she missed one. Held her nerve and took the gold.

Just watching the Modern Pentathlon riding. Luck of the draw. The German rider in tears. If the horse doesn't want to jump, it won't. The laser run to finish is usually exciting with a combination of running and shooting. Well worth watching and a possible medal for Kate French.

After a slow start, the GB track cycling's finishing fast with the ever-reliable Kennys. Very happy to see Lauren Price make it through to the Middleweight Final. A tough fight, especially with a point deducted. Hopefully more medal success on the track today with the relays and Laura Muir in...

Great effort for Holly Bradshaw to get a bronze in the Pole Vault.

It never looked in doubt for Matt Walls who took it out from the start. A fantastic gold medal for him and GB.

Matt Walls currently in gold medal position in the Omnium with 1 race left. The elimination race is a great spectacle with the last rider to get over the line being knocked out every other lap. Think musical chairs on wheels albeit without the music and the chairs.

Liam Heath didn't get a good start, but ended up with the bronze with a strong recovery.

Yes, there's definitely a strong chance in Friday's Team Showjumping Final. And there's still Tom Daley in the 10m platform to come. Here's 3 more medal prospects to watch. Canoe Sprint - Liam Heath won gold in Rio. Fnished over a second clear of 2nd place in his 200m QF. Only sub-34 second...
