Don't know why there's so many people moaning about that race, if you watch it it very quickly becomes easy to understand.

It's easy enough to understand, it's just weird.
Odd race with it being sprints within a marathon. Damn gruelling.
feck me, his interview. Made Scholes sound eloquent.

Women's elimination should be great too, come on Trott!
Yer know
GB 3-0 Spain
Our women's team is building up some truly impressive form.

Trott's on another level.
Laura trott is incredible
She's so good
Laura Trott is pretty damn awesome
Laura Trott is well on course for the gold here.
How awesome was that from Trott? perfection that ride.
Laura fecking trott!
Trott is super-human, though this is her favoured event if I'm not mistaken.

That elimination event is pretty cool. Brutal they put the marathon thing as the last one.
Weird the BBC comparing cycling and fecking dressage!
I miss Buffon right now.
Just watched the elimination race: the ease with which Trotted won that final lap was something else.
Laura Trott and Jason Kenny need to produce as many kids as they're physically capable of doing. We could dominate the velodrome for centuries if they do.
Not sure that's what you meant.

no it's not, I meant to put down super. Don't know what I was thinking!I was surprised she made that error, because everything else I'd seen her do was weirdly flawless. Wevers was great though and certainly deserved it

Between that and a post above saying the athletes with the best genes should produce the best genetic children, I'm getting a dodgy vibe.
Great fight in the boxing, in the hw gold match at the mo..
Did anyone just see the boxing match there for the Heavyweight gold? The Russian got his face absolutely punched off him and he somehow ended up winning the fight and gold medal
Should be an inquest into fixing there....

Yeah, the Russians still managed to find a way to cheat to the gold medal..
Shocking decision... The worst part was that all judges agreed.
The guy from Khazakstan owned all 3 rounds, and still lost.
The Norwegian commentator and expert (former pro boxer, Thomas Hansvoll), lost it when they heard the decision.
I didn't know Gabby Logan used to be a gymnast
Dreadful conditions tonight.
running track is starting to flood !
Lot of rain
Apparently it's raining.
I've just watched the final quarter of last night's men's hockey QF.
New Zealand were leading 2-0 with 4:30 left to play, then Germany scored. At 2-1 the ref sin-binned a NZ player for timewasting. Germany scored with 48 seconds to go and again with 1 second to go to win the QF 3-2.
Wow.

Didn't get rain like this in London
Interesting anecdote - she once gave a pack of pencils to a fellow competitor from the Eastern Bloc as a gift. Or so she said during an episode of Fighting Talk IIRC.
I think thats the correct desicion to give the people a second chance in the hurdles who raced in the torrential rain. Race should never have been run in those conditions
Synchronised swimming is fecking ridiculous. How is this a sport?
800 m final now
Good race, Rudisha defends his title
