Bronze in the women team Gymnastics.  

It's a shame they were barely featured in the coverage, but I guess BBC didn't control the pictures. Hopefully will get a montage of highlights later. Amazing from the team - the twins only 16 years old!

Yes it was rubbish.  All US, ROC and Canada.

Very decent bronze in the gymnastics- particularly as there has been a lot of controversy about the selection policy.

Youngest team there I understand.  They did brilliantly.

Didnt realise the twins were born in Dublin and one of the others is Mark Kinsella's daughter. Decent bronze for Ireland that :ph34r:

Superb relay gold in the 4x200 freestyle.

Close for the first 2 legs but really pulled away after that almost breaking the world record!

 

Excellent performance!

 

On the other had a disappointing day in the rowing - just one silver with 3 boats coming 4 - including one being pipped by Ireland for 3rd.

Anyone know why Peaty isn't entering more events? Wasn't part of the relay team the other day and surely could have had the 200m breaststroke as well if he fancied it.

Would have been hard to be believe a few years back a GB swimmer would get more medals on their own than the whole rowing  team !

 

Well done Duncan Scott and also great swim by Luke Greenbank.

I really need to sleep, but now I'm watching grown men and women riding children's bicycles.. and it's brilliant.

Couple of medals too.

 

Almost missed by the BBC.

He'd fade in the 200m as he's all about power, a bit like a 100m sprinter doing the 400m. His other speciality is 50m breastroke but sadly that's not an olympic event. He's in the 4x100m medley team who are in the final tomorrow (and should win!).
