    @bovidae yeah they either were gassed or looked to ease up as thier speed dropped pretty quick when the Hungarians went by.

    Getting on the podium will be a great effort, but they do look to have the speed. Two more big races needed.

              @kiwiwomble Does that mean Lydia with her 5 under for today which was the day's best score for all those tied for third on ten under become the winner of the bronze medal? Maybe there might be another obscure way of deciding ties like number of no balls hit or number of balls that crossed the boundary line!!!

                @higgins i honestly have no idea, hoped someone else could explain, maybe they all share it? i would normally say there would be a pay off but obviously if bad weather stops them playing the final round then thats not happening

                    Lydia hasn't played too many bad holes.

                    That double-bogey on the first day - and bogeying the last two holes yesterday have been pretty expensive. Without some of those, she could have been third on her own, or in a tie for silver - or a shot behind Korda... I guess all the others have various tales of woe.

                    I doubt they'll do anything too half-arsed (like the cricket) to determine bronze if tomorrow is a washout.

                    They'll either organize a 4-way play-off or just dish out four bronze medals.

                      I'm always amazed NZ and Australia do well in cycling, wouldn't have thought we'd have the mass of riders, culture, or specialist facilities to compete with the Europeans..

                                It's the same in most of NZ, unless you're lucky enough to find a cycleway. :magnifying_glass_tilted_right: 🗺

                                  A single gold would almost certainly put us in the top 10 - looking unlikely but still possible.

                                          Did anyone watch the Heavyweight boxing final? The Russian Gadzhimagomedov got beaten 5-0 by the Cuban la Cruz.

                                          I will have to find a replay.
