Loving the Olympics but really not enjoying the time difference! My favourite medals so far have been Bethany Shriever, Triathlon relay, Charlotte Worthington and all the equestrian.

I normally love the track cycling (like sit on my spin bike while I am watching and get way too excited) but I feel like we are not going to do so well this year (really hope I am wrong).

Did anyone else see the crash at the track cycling? Denmark’s fault and their rider was shouting at team GB’s. Should have been disqualified for that.

I couldn't believe that rider had the audacity to scream at the rider he had just ploughed into 😡 how about checking if he was okay. I know rules are rules but I don't agree with the result.

Team GB track and field aren’t doing great at all, Adam Gemili injured now as well (although I saw him run in Gateshead last month and he didn’t do very well).

Hopefully other sports (especially swimming) where we have done so well get more attention post games

Me too, especially the BMX. I hope they regain some funding.

I think we are looking at a very low medal haul from the athletics. I'm hopeful for a silver/bronze in the women's 800m later but I can't see much beyond that. I really want KJT to get a medal in the heptathlon but there's a few too good I think. Maybe a relay medal if we get a bit of luck.
 
That crash was ridiculous, couldn't believe the Danish guy kicked off at our rider! I do think we were outclassed though in all the races this morning.

Hopefully even pick up a few individual golds instead in the velodrome.

Nice to see Simone Biles perform, I do feel for her and even though she is obviously struggling at the moment I do love how supportive she is of her teammates and also the other competitors. Both Chinese girls were amazing too, the gild medallist is a right pocket rocket.
 
Anyone else watching the individual SJ on Discovery Plus with no audio!? I can hear in Dutch, Norwegian and Swedish but the English audio feed doesn't seem to be working :unsure:
