Florence and the Machine take silver in the kayaking......

Great win in the 7's semi final. Saw the Saffers last night demolish Australia and didn't fancy us to be honest. Fiji up next. That'll be a big test but fitting for the Final.

Our wimmin in the team pursuit have just broken the world record........................ in a qualifier.

Ha seen that. Immense. GB Cycling needs some golds from the track.

Splendid victory for Joshua Buatsi in the boxing, but I'd have preferred to have seen the ref stop it a little earlier. Looked obvious enough to me that the other lad was on the cusp of nothing other that having his arse tanned.

[TANGODANCER]

Gold for Jason Kenny and the bike lads in the team sprint...

[officer_dibble]

He's one of our own...
If bolton was competing at the olympics (too much yorkshire tv for me)...etc.

Not so magnificent rugby seven getting a real battering..

I read somewhere that we currently have more medals now than at this stage in 2012. Anyone else see that?

Yeah, think we've missed out on some expected golds but picked up some unexpected ones to counteract that slightly. I think you're never going to do quite as well as a home games though anyway really.

Two rowing golds today so far, one men one women.

How long's trampolining been in it?

Dunno, but we just won probably the most surprising silver medal in it ever.

Heptathlon is shaping up nicely. Great start from Ennis and Johnson-Thompson. 1.98m high jump by KJT was superb.
Also that 29.16 10000m win by Ayana was staggering. I've never seen anything like that in any championship distance race.

[Worthy4England]

With all the gym n stuff Brucie's been at, I'm reckoning tomorrow's it!

[TANGODANCER]

Staggering to think that in the qualifier that Jason Kenny and Callum Skinner were just in, last than one second was the time difference from first to last.
