Those roads are awful.
Have to work so I can't catch the final of the cycling today, that makes me sad. Netherlands leading 2-1 in Hockey now, Argentina seems pretty good, but the Netherlands is a pretty good Hockey nation as far as I know.
America wins the first gold in the womens 10m air rifle
American Thrasher won first gold medal in shooting. Got a gun for first birthday. Classic. 
Bit of fencing and judo for me for the time being, so bloody tough to keep up with everything.
Annoyed they haven't put the fencing on TV/Red Button, had to go to the BBC website to watch it. No commentary and a random guy just came on "test, 123, test..." before singing 'Hello' without releasing we could hear him

Rugby 7 halves are only 7 mins? I find this very strange.
It's an incredibly boring spectator sport but the result was actually pretty dramatic so it made for decent viewing. She had no expectations of even being at the tournament in the first place, and was up against a really strong pair from China, but she looked completely unfazed throughout the entire final round and never really gave them a chance to get back in it.
And the best name too with Virginia Thrashing
Almost as good as Golden Virginia (for the smokers amongst us).
Beach Volleyball involves a lot of high fives even when you make a mistake
3-2 win over Ireland for India in hockey.
Wow. A rugby 7 match last only for 14 mins and Canada just battered the Japanese chicks 45-0!
Now I know why the games are so short.

Went for a long walk while the wife had a nap, had three pints in two different pubs and just got back. Still 77.4km to go!
I heard a big bang in the bike race
Thomas positioning himself well with just over 71km to go.
Watching this from start to finish has got me excited about Rio. Riveting stuff.
Watched that live.

BBC just said it was a controlled explosion
Bailey and Bolt are the only two 100m champs since 1984 to have not ever failed a dope test. The 1984 champ was Carl Lewis, however.
It's a bit dejecting when you cycle 200km and know your not going to win (having to do a job for others)
Why do people feel compelled to run alongside the riders and throw things at them?
That fan
Nibali down 2 of the front 3 out
2 of the front 3 outWtf
Sad to seeNibali down
The feck happened?
That's awful. Nibali was winning it for sure.
Thomas down too.
Oh shit, Geraint Thomas is out too
That's crazy, well over 90% of the race done and then that happens.
Majka! He did have TdF form coming in to this race but I wouldn't have picked him for the win.
I hope my Deliveroo rider is getting inspired by this.
Majka's finishing 4th I reckon. Really struggling.
WR for Peaty in the 100m breaststroke
One of GBs best shot at gold

van avermaet followed by Fulgsang.
Entertaining finish
I'm now tired just by watching that
