      Luka Doncic. That is all.

      He’s having an amazing Olympic campaign. Not just his scoring but he is definitely lifting his team.

      A very good game on now in the semi final between Slovenia and France. Final quarter and France up by 4 points.

              So with that last run of the heptathlon, the Netherlands won two medals (silver and bronze), just stealing one from Belgium who win gold (and the other finishing 4th). Is living below sea level an advantage for heptathlon?

                    I think it’s finished right with the two best teams - USA v France for gold, and the next best two Slovenia and Oz for bronze.

                          I havent seen any official announcements so presume ladies golf will still be contested over the full 4 rounds. They are however going off split tees today so perhaps trying to get through before some weather comes in later in the day. Surely any decision needs to be made before the first group tees off today.

                          Anyway, Lydia off at 11.42am NZtime along with Jessica Korda

                          Oh and Gaby 10.59am NZ time and paired with Brook Henderson.

                            Not sure how I forgot by the 50km walk is on this morning and underway.

                            Such an odd event

                              Bermuda unfortunately. At 64k total pop we can't catch them. Still an amazing effort and probably more to come. A top 10 would be incredible.

                                  Haven't checked this but been told that if you exclude the medal extravaganza that is the swimming us and Aussie are level on medal count.

                                  I always find it confusing that as a country where almost everyone grows up near the sea and swimming every summer and with a reasonably strong surf lifesaving tradition we don't do better in the pool.

                                    We are smarter and concentrate on Olympic sports that allow you to sit down while winning.
