Fantastic end to the Men's Team competition! Right down to the last routine.

Gosh theyve got some ugly criers in the Japanese team, 😂.
So what I dont understand is, when is the penalty box on the score display used? When someone falls off and it's a 1 point deduction, why is that not in the box but just taken off Execution? I wonder what actually counts as a penalty.
I enjoyed that. I've been wanting a cup of tea for about 40 minutes. That poor Chinese lad!

I wondered that. Maybe they have changed the scoring?

That poor lad is the All Around on Wednesday. A day to put himself back together.

I wondered that. Maybe they have changed the scoring? Perhaps it's for if you do something illegal rather than accidental? But I'm sure I've seen it used for some falls. So maybe it has been altered. |

SILVER in some swimming! Was it the 200 Free? Anyway, it was our unexpected one, not Duncan Scott who was fourth. The winner has been around for YEARS as a winner, and he is still only 19.
Gosh, Claire just said the tickets to todays’s diving cost £400. It only lasted about an hour!!!!! I see the price of Hamilton tickets in a new light.

The french fans favourite Nadal is out of the singles. The french fans unfavourite is the victor. Reckon Djocko's about to join the golden grand slam club with an Olympic gold.

Just watching some tennis, Draper struggling a bit. How hot is it though, it looks boiling!
Are they not using Hawkeye? Do they not have it in the French Open?

Le Bro reports 32 degrees where he lives - doubtless hotter in Paris.
They are going up at the weekend to drink in the atmosphere (they have the use of a friends flat). They hoped to go and see the Olympic flame which is in one of the main parks but tickets - which are free - to get up close to it are all gone! The website nearly crashed within days with people wanting to book a time to see the balloon and torch up close. Odd the things that take a trick with the public - the organisers admitted they did not see the demand coming.

I’ve settled in for the women’s gymnastics. I do like Andrade from Brazil so hope she does well.
I don’t understand why the coaches are allowed to get so close in the uneven bars. They are in between the bars at times.

Brazil are the favourites apparently.

Over the USA? Wow.
Matt Baker is a real Biles fanboy isn’t he? Even when commenting on another American’s performance he brings it back to her. We get it Matt, she is very good!

Brazil are the favourites apparently. In the women's gymnastics? That's highly unlikely. |

Anymore to come?
