Wonderful to watch! Along with Marchand's 4th gold and a bronze for Manadou - decent evening! 😁

Sooner he gets found out for eating "contaminated" Frogs legs the better. Don't like his face, he's the spitting image of a bloke the year above me at school, Peter "Smiling Cunt Lips" Pears.

As for BMX, never been a sport, adults riding round on Kiddie bikes, it's a pile of shite.

If I ran the IOC the Olympics would be: Cycling (Track and Road); Athletics; Swimming; Rowing (including canoeing) and that's it. And none of the previous mentioned should be adulterated to attract the "Yoof" market.

Ooh, I forgot Triathlon.

And to round off a fine evening France have beaten bete noire Argentina to advance to the semi finals of the football

Golden start for team GB&NI with Gold in the Men's Eights. Pity there wasn't a French crew to stuff, but Trafalgar shows the Froggos can't cut it on the water :)

Another gold for us in the skiff. We are amassing a lot of prizes in rowing like this. We have lot of water of course...

Interesting. At the last four they've had 16,11,17,10 gold medals.

They could possibly add another seven (three as I type) to match Tokyo - depends how good they are at the events in the later stage.

Wow Remco  :o what a race, a deep bow. 2 x gold, what an achievement!

MvdP not good enough today,that's life.

Nickslikk2112

That was a good race. Slow burner to start, but it just kept ramping up, then Remco getting a puncture 4k out, wow!
We need more racing without radios.

Wasn't bothered who won today - so long as it wasn't a Froggo or a turncoat.
