….here goes George Mills, brother of our Stanley.

Edit; Looking like he’s failed to qualify in 1500m but has another chance tomorrow.

Are GB currently down on expected golds at the moment? It seems like they're regularly winning silver/bronze in events with good gold opportunities.

“Expected golds”

“Expected golds”

Probably the wrong wording. Interested to know whether we're up or down on the last few Olympics at a similar stage.

Not sure about golds but on track to be at least level with London / Tokyo on total medals at the end of today.

Think our usual cycling velodrome haul will be a lot less - can't see us getting another 20 golds to top 2012.

….but it’s only golds that matter except for ‘posh rowers’.

The thing with that is, both have went through male puberty - and afforded all of the benefits that came along with it. Biological women don't, hence they don't get the benefit of it.

Did they? Listening to Talksport just now and Steve Bunce was saying that was all untrue and that the test they took was not approved.

I’m unaware of the full truth but it seems that there are a lot of stories going round that just aren’t true.

Disappointing medal race from the Irish mens skiff duo. Were in good shape for bronze at least going into it but jumped the start and had to go around. Handed the US the bronze before the race even started unfortunately.

If I decide to identify as a horse can I enter next years grand national?

All the females tell me I’m hung like one so I may identify as one as well #horsepower

But Daves already told us. Irelands athletes get a scotch egg and bag of hula hoops

That was for the WHOLE team not just the rowers.

The test they apparently took was a 'gender eligibility test', a swap to the inner cheek - not a testosterone test? The IBA (Umar Kremlev) confirmed Khelif has XY chromosomes.

All needs clarifying for the good of the athlete and the sport.

Interesting names.

Seen on the North Korean scores next to 'Execution' it just says 'Yes' when they don't get a medal winning score.

€3.9m total to rowing over a three year cycle.
