Hadn't realised one of the ladies sculls four today was previously paralysed down her left side from a fall in a horse riding accident. Fought back to fitness and Olympic gold? What a story.

What a finish.
Old fish breath giving out the medals.

This French kidda in the pool is due on again shortly for another final.

 

[Nobby Nobbs]

Hardly the GOAT.

I think Phelps has a little something to say about that. In fact a double Olympic champion in the pool is outshine by dozens of former champions.

Well for me if you post the 15 best times in history in your discipline it makes him the goat in his discipline in my few if you can name any one better in his discipline I’d like to know.

What about Northern Ireland, it took us 100 years to get 3 gold medals and then we get 3 on the same night.

Some stinking decisions in the boxing at this games. Reid won clearly for me, but robbed by judges again.

Ironically, the one lad that went through didn’t deserve it

Why are the Olympic British boxers so crap

We normally win loads of medals in the boxing and 5/6 boxers lost their first match

 

[Rita_Poon]

Her from Bolton fighting for the Refugee team seems well game for a ruck. Balding provided some vey troubling background.

200m fly 200m breast stroke champion in same session. Incredible.

Not seen them all but i watched Rosie Eccles the other day and the only people on the planet who thought she lost were the judges.

Absolute legend.

Experts reckon no-one has won two golds in a night at the swimming since 1976.

Before that it was 1900, when one of the golds was the 200m obstacle course.

huge WR

 

[Rita_Poon]

Can't escape the feeling some of these Chinese Golds will be stripped in a year or so
