Big crash in cycling at velodrome. Hope all competitors are okay.

It's quite exciting but I've absolutely no idea what's really going on in the Omnium race.

No-one does.

Bronze in the women's Kerin.

[FoyleFox]

I think that Kerin might be the event for me, as long as I get the motorbike

Neither do the judges or commentators by the sounds and looks of it

The Japanese guy was so smug after he thought he'd won  had to do it again and now hes lost. But will they have to do it again?

No, just told off. On the naughty step until the next race. 

[StanSP]

Lyles only bronze in the event he favours. 

 

[purpleronnie]

Loving the USA chants then botswana athelete wins gold.

[Guest Lcfc82]

I thought that would be the top 3 - not in that order though 

[Nalis]

Love it when the unlikely nations win in. What a run, cool as fvck

[RowlattsFox]

Wonder how much energy Lyles burns by being a bellend 

 

 

[Bert]

Came out bouncing like he’d won it, now injured  

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Celebrating crossing the line in an Olympic final is probably one of the coolest sporting moments you can get

[urban.spaceman]

First ever gold for Botswana!! 

[Silebyfox_89]

Lyles has covid now.

KJT leading the Heptathlon after day 1

[Lionator]

Running at that intensity with covid is mental and incredibly dangerous, especially when you’ve already just won one gold.

Not that funny really though.

All the coming out bouncing is just to try and get a mental edge.

If he already knew he had covid and was wrecked, as was his semi final this is what he felt he needed to to try and get a mental edge.
