Van Dijk was that, went off the road during the ascent...lost probably more than 20 seconds. Could've been gold. Which went to 43-year-old!

Cancellara you absolute fecking legend!
Massive, massive ride. Unbelievable. Proud of Dumoulin too, must have been a tough ride with his injured wrist. But fair play to Cancellara, he was just amazing.
Spartacus!!
Yeah, could've been a whole different outcome without his injury although 48" is quite a lot.. I'm sure he'll get another shot at this title, terrific rider.
Cancellara was a beast today, and Domoulin just looked devastated, which of course isn't a wonder, his whole season has been about the Olympic TT, and then he gets almost humiliated by Cancellara. Froome gets the bronze and I think he's pretty happy with that all in all, because unlike Domoulin and especially Cancellara he's been riding at 100% at the Tour and also put in a decent effort at the road race on Saturday.
watching the diving , what is going on with that green pool.

Anyone watching the 7s? GB v Argentina, full time 0-0 with both teams down to 6 men 
Dropkick hits the post in golden point!!
Try!! GB what a finish.
Whitlock going to take The bronze
Gymnasts are absolutely incredible athletes, probably the most remarkable in all of sport. I can only watch it for 15 minutes at a time before I get bored though.
So fascinating, think I said this 4 years ago, but Gymnastics, something I wouldnt normally care about, but Olympics is a different flavour.
Yes!!
Guaranteed Bronze at least
The best thing about Gymnastics is I have no idea about what is actually good, everything looks incredible to me.
I know what you mean. Like a few mistakes you can pick out, but then they talk about difficulty levels and im thinking, they all look difficult loltotal respect for anybody that does Gymnastics, even when I was younger there is no way I could do it, FFS I could not even climb the ropes at school.
First medal in this in 108 years!
The commentators keep oooohhhhing and aaahhhhhing and I never have a clue what's wrong unless someone falls off or botches a landing, it's great watching something blind and thinking it's all great
Another bronze! And we're in the Rugby semis!
6 medals today, it gets better.
