      Men's Kata bronze medal just finishing. Again: hand speed is awesome. The guys are adding a level of power the women didn't quite have. No sound effects required.

      Yank wins bronze

          Don't get how Mrs Boo doesn't immediately dial into random sport just to see who wins...

          Could be the random Polish wall climber or the Netherlands hockey chicks

          Have decided Mrs Boo doesn't get sport.

            The Netherlands win gold in women's hockey, beating Argentina 3 to 1. Never in doubt.

            Geez, for some of the Dutch players it's their thrid gold medal!

              Of the ten Olympic Games where hockey has been played, 9 were won by the Netherlands! Dominance.

                We're reaching the stage that there are only finals in athletics. Lots of medals to be won in the next two hours!

                    Don't try and reconcile it. Chicks are weird. We'll never get them

                      If you are in the market for a more comfortable companion, the Polish Javelin thrower has to be up there for her athleticism.

                          @rancid-schnitzel where I lived in Brissie, cycling on bike paths earned an immediate ute-chase from unemployed bogans. In 100% humidity. Great times.

                          Where and when was that? I live in the western suburbs and there are dedicated bike paths all the way to the city. Would be perfect for running but nope we’re banned. Cyclists are well looked after here.

                          That explains everything. Ipswich is bogan central. But it isn’t Brisbane. It’s a completely different city.

                              1500m women's final coming up. Will Sifan Hassan be able to win her 2nd gold?

                                I'm happy that Allyson Felix got herself a bronze in the 400 m final but Shaunae Miller-Uibo was in a class of her own. It helps to be so tall.
