We got another silver for clarke and bronze, kimberley woods in the kayaking.

Ladies hockey team out.

I forgot it was on! isn't it usually towards the end of the games?

Are you thinking of giving the football a miss this season? We're going to need all the help we can get....

I hadn't seen this mentioned until today, the USA had previously been quite vocal and Adam Peaty mentioned it post race. Two of the Chinese lads who won the relay yesterday had previously been found to have failed drugs tests. The China Anti Doping Agency didn't ban them as, it was deemed they'd ingested the substances accidentally. Not sure about anyone else but, I'm always doing that

We've lots of newly growing cucumber in the greenhouse. We're going to have far too many. I feel a bit better about suggesting we try pickling them like gherkins now. I had thought it was possibly a daft idiot. Obviously not.

Bronze in the men's vault. That's our first ever medal in the event.

Where's VAR when you need it?

The replay showed the clay had been hit. I don't understand how that's not a hit?

Bronze medal in the horse dancing.

It's using your resources sensibly and financially effective. When we moved to the house we're in now we got a day/night rate electric tariff. Washing etc all started to go on in the evening. It was a particularly beneficial adjustment after we moved to the EV tariff.

4th consecutive gold for Katie Ledecky in the 800m freestyle. That's just phenomenal.

No Peaty in the relay.

I read it on a wiki earlier so, I'm not saying it's definitely right. Maybe different sports had different inclusion dates.

Correct. Professionals were only allowed from Atlanta in 1996.

It's more the accuracy than impartiality. The athlete in this instance knew he had a technical inaccuracy in his routine but the commentators were suggesting it was a gold medal performance. With some sports is easy to see who's winning, as they're in front but with others we rely on them, the experts to advise on the performance.

Seems a top lad. Bit gutted he won't get a medal. Thought gold was a doubt but hope for a placing.

Max Whitlock up next, going for his 3rd consecutive gold on the pommel.

Having just established I'm no gymnastics expert but Simone Biles is just phenomenal, it's like she's just in a league above all of the others.

Whitehouse not disagreeing with the scoring. Did you feel that your score was too low? "I was down on my difficulty score because I landed my second tumble lower than 90 degrees so they take quite a lot of marks off for that so I was way down on difficulty."

The BBC fellow thought he was going to get gold with that performance. Bit of a shock, that score.

You're going to need to narrow it down a bit...

Bronze in the men's floor.

Yes. Espn+ 01 for me too.

Staggering is one way to describe it. My description would be less polite!
