Thanks. I like the schedule, 3PM local time.
Tommy Fleetwood gets silver.
Chinese Taipei wins gold medal in badminton beating China.
Like clockwork
Yeah, I’m very thankful for the 9am local for me. Was worried I’d be setting alot of early alarms like I do during Worlds
China beat China
Badminton has been incredible. What a sport
Closing stages of women's road race
Fleetwood always seem to be the nearly man.
Gap to the leaders is dropping now, we might be onto a medal here.
On a side note, I love the fact that argentines sing a song targetting certain players(or defend the song) but are then surprised that these players and french fans show them no respect. 
These roads are super tight.
Think it's between these 4, GB not in the 2 pairs leading
This will be a good sprint race.
Or not, Faulkner just broke away.
Beyond pathetic riding by these 3 clowns
I have no idea what the other three are doingOr not, Faulkner just broke away.

The other three messed up badly.
Deserves it, great stuff
They couldn't decide who should go with her or if they should all go with her, in the meantime she was disappearing into the distance.
These bikes look rapid, any ideas on how fast they're going?
Well done Faulkner, you are the only one with a brain.
Wow. Did that group really get so distracted about competing with each other that they forgot the American was racing
Ah missed out on that photo op
Is she in shock? No celebration whatsoever
They literally stop pedalling in the last kilometer. That's a fireable offence.
Photo finish!
They just looked at each other, what happened there. Somebody caught you sleeping that's what happened.
You'd be gutted to lose out in a photo finish
American lady didn't even celebrate at first, guess she was so exhausted. She just took off at the end

She's confused because no one else is there. She must have wondered if she'd taken a wrong turn..
I'm genuinely shocked, I don't remember the last time I have seen this in such a ridiculous way.
Cycled straight out of the city, Forest Gump style.
Time like these I remember I own a one of those bicycle with a basket. I spent a few hundred on it too.
Unless you're in a team or have discussed sharing the lead, the one to chase probably misses out on a medal and none of them wanted to risk that.
It shouldn't have been a chase, they virtually stopped. You can see Vas stop pedalling when they are on a slight uphill. They simply didn't consider Faulkner and focused on the other two because Faulkner was on paper the weaker sprinter. This is something that probably doesn't happen if they have headsets.
Yeah, no headsets doesn't help and being a 4 with 3 medals was probably the worst scenario for taking risks. Having said that, Faulkner put a lot into the initial break, checked back and went again. It was the few seconds before the final push where they needed to react.
The moment we’ve been waiting for today. Sjöström
