The guys doing the bmx stunts look like they're doing double jumps in the air. Madness.

Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
Former World No.1 tennis player Angelique Kerber has lost in the Olympic women's singles quarter-finals to current World No.7 Qinwen Zheng.
This is her last match of career.

Świątek should be winning this comfortably
Unlucky the Canadian going flying off the high bar.Looked nasty that. His hand was cut up. Did so well before that too.
He fell off again.Can you get a negative mark in gymnastics ?
The guy's got balls going back up and was brilliant, barring the catastrophic falls.
The Canadian guy was doing so well til then
She had a great career, especially in its second half. I wish her happy retirement.
BBC saying Marta got sent off for Brazil for a horrible flying tackles but can't find it on twitter

That's some tackle
Taekwondo!
Will be Fritz & Paul next for Murray & Evans, glad I invested in Discovery + for Women's Doubles match.
Ouch, that fall on the high bar from the Aussie.
Glued to the Archery, GB vs France down to a tie breaker.
He twisted out to protect his face. Amazing reactions
There's been a couple of really nasty falls in the gymnastics
2 falls in the high bar (3 if you count the same guy falling twice) after the commentators saying they'd never seen anyone fall before.
I've somehow ended up glued to the gymnastics, a sentence I never thought I'd say.
Yeah I thought that was incredible
I can’t take my eyes off gymnastics when it’s the olympics. For the other 47.5 months of the 4 years, it doesn’t even cross my mind.
US seem quite light on golds at the moment. Is that usual? I know they come back strong in the athletics but even them don’t remember them having so few after, what, 5 days?
They didn't say they'd never seen someone fall, they said in competition they'd never seen a strap break.
Ah I thought they'd never seen someone fall in a competition. As they said they'd seen it in the gyms and training rooms
Just saw the pictures of the triathletes swimming against the stream in the Seine
Is that usual for these types of competitions? They were almost standing still at one point.

Boulter & Watson through to QF
By their Fahrenheit-esque way of ranking the medal table they’re still doing ok, even if the rest of the world disagrees

Gone by total number, have they?

Until you realise Nani was sent off for less.
They always do, for some reason, which I’ve always thought odd because of a) the fact that American sports fans stereotypically have a ‘first is everything, second is nowhere’ attitude and b) they’ve usually finished top on gold medals too, since the end of the Cold War anyway.
Yeah, seeing a lot of people saying now the way the table should be ranked is by total medal rather than golds
I think a certain amount of silvers should count as 1 gold, and then a certain amount of bronze count as 1 silver
The gymnastics is ace. I’ve no idea how the scoring works but it’s still ace.
These lads are wizards. How the feck does one even begin to do this stuff
For sure, how they even do those rings is beyond me.
We’re good at being number 2 so far in this Olympics. Not enough gold in the pool.
From my recollection, that’s unusual. We had 39 gold medals in Tokyo. I can’t see us getting to that number even after the track and field is concluded.
