looking forward to this

hassan going for history, competing in the 1500m, 5k, 10k and marathon 

7 races in 10 days 

I've just watched a 17-year-old girl obliterate the field in the swimming

And now a Brit misses out on a gold medal by 0.02 of a second

Why the hell did they decide to use the river?

Could have used a cleaner freshwater lake, or even do something like Manchester did with Salford Quays.

Quick Olympic quiz question .No googling.

Maybe  where they chuck stuff and have changed the weight of the discus or javelin?

Women's discus record is longer than the men's but the discus weighs less. Or summat.

Equestrian triathlon would be great. You have to swim your horse for a bit, try to keep up with it on a bike (so it would act a pace maker) and then ride it home for the last leg.

In the paralympic equestrian, does to horse have to be disabled as well? They could get that Dujardin lass in to knock them out of shape. 3 line whip.

huge chance of gold in the pool tonight

Is it from that Town Planning one they used to do in the 1920's?! 😃

Watching that Algerian bloke due to compete in the women's boxing undermines the whole Olympic idea.

It's all a bit of a grey area isn't it? At least she isn't a proper bloke with meat and two veg like that swimmer.

Anyway, I am watching clay pigeon shotgun and it seems murica isn't as good as you would expect

Brit won.

Remember the septics are probably more used to semi-automatics.

Deceptive question I reckon.

Does "current Olympic event" mean a sport still being undertaken?

Or one that isn't, and is therefore a "current" record?

Or a record for a negative, like being disqualified or scoring minimal points?

Ha Ha , not that complicated . Its an active sport and we have probably all had a go at high school sports trials type thing.

It's killing me this @Krimzon 😆

I did wonder if you were referring to the original high jump method- before Dick Fosbury did his thing, but I wasn't aware that there were two different records on that.

 

I saw brazil v egypt in womens beach vb

Have they told em to start wearing clothes as the brazilians had shorts on

But, it was poss due to respecting the egyptians who had long keks and burqa

Watched it.

Didn't realise the swimming was on!

Anyway, another 2 golds today.

Well done to all.

We've been desperately unlucky in a few events to over the last couple of days 

Great viewing
