I thought it was Drone Spying.

It certainly wasn't a priority over other positions, not when he's not really an improvement on what we already had at the CB position.

Strange signing in that I don't think he's better than Souttar. We just seem to love wasting money for some reason.

Yeah, clean sweep of all 8 available golds.

Here's a crazy stat. The Dutch finished above us in the medal table despite winning 31 fewer medals than we did. When they had the sniff of a gold medal, they more often than not took it.

Surely he could do better than the slog of a relegation battle with us? Be amazing if this happens but I just can't see it.

Funding plays a big part, but not all. We can (and do) boost our medal count by targeted funding at sports like track cycling and rowing. But population count will always play a significant part too. The bigger the pool of talent you can select from, the better you will do. If you can marry the two together (funding and population) then you have a pretty unstoppable force, as we saw with the Americans in the Track & Field (who's NCAA collegiate system is prooving to be an incredible production line for athletes).

I'll have forgotten all of our silver and bronze medallists by next week. The only British performance from this Olympics that will last long in the memory for me will be Keely Hodgkinson's (and maybe Yee and Pidcock too). You make think that harsh, but it's true.

Almost half our medals are bronze medals (29/65), by far the highest proportion amongst the top nations. I just don't think we have the winning mentality that other nations do.

Elye Wahi is on the Lens bench. Maybe we can sort a transfer out at HT.

Heal and grow... Heal and grow... Cool wet grass... Cool wet grass...

I could only stomach about a minute of it before switching over. Not for me.

Don't know how these climbers have any fingers left after they're done.

So much scope for improvement in the javelin too. Same with a lot of the heptathletes. They just pootle along the runway and then just gently lob it out there. Get some welly behind it!

Yep. I jinxed it. The Yanks have come storming back and are going to win.

Serbia 76-63 USA after 3 quarters The upset is on.

Serbia and Jokic taking it to The Dream Team. 41-25 up in the 2nd quarter.

Yes, but no option/obligation means there is a danger other clubs can get involved and nab the player from under your nose.

Just been watching the canoe sprints and now I can't stop the theme to Hawaii 5-0 going round in my head. Coincidence?

Well it was pretty much the whole squad judging by the video. But I sincerely apologise for taking the thread off course with my ill-judged attempt at humour.

At racist singalongs?

Never forget

I do like the bit in diving where they go and sit in a hot-tub. I think I could do that bit.

So basically he's a younger Jordan Ayew

Honestly these skateboarding commentators might as well be talking in Mandarin for all I can understand.
