My new favourite is the elimination race. Well done to Matt Walls!

MIXED Synchronised swimming now! I never knew they did that either.... learning a lot about this sport this week, lol. The Russians did a terrifically zinging version of Sing, Sing, Sing. Do they have male.only events here I wonder? I didn't know men did it until I saw the ad for that Rob Bryden film!
I love the elimination race too. At least I can follow it unlike the tempo race.

Even the judges can't follow the tempo race! I don't get that one at all.
I don't like the new version of the Omnium. They should put it back to what it was.

I got the impression (probably wrongly!) that Laura Kenny was less than impressed with Katie Archibald in that post race interview.
Gold medal in the women's 10m synchro diving!
Has Jason Kenny won anything here? I haven't seen him race at all.

I'm not sure he's in the squad, is he? They are trying out a lot of the young ones as it's mid-olympic-cycle.
I think Kenny/Archibald was the wrong team for the Madison. They were both still tired from yesterday.

I tell a lie, Jason Kenny was in the squad. He was in the sprint team and they were unexpectedly eliminated in the first round. Which was ages ago!

Thanks for the uodate, Miranda. I missed that!
Good and bronze in the men's 1m springboard.
The commentary kept failing so we lost Leon and ?Kate? but someone stepped in..... Was it Bob from the Leon and Bob pairing? I thought they were very good together and prefer them to the new line up.

Looks like they've switched Athletics to BBC1 for no rational reason. Good ole Beeb. Steve Cram getting in a tizz because no water was available before the 10000 Metre Mens race. My guess is they wouldnt be drinking any water till a few laps into the race. Stick to Curling Crammy.

British Gold in both sprints. Never before in a European Championship.
