<p>Hewitt in a big group on the bike. This one will all come down to the run.</p>

[canefan]

Lydia's putter not working, she's falling back out of the medals now, with 6 holes to get back into silver contention. Park looks to be out of reach in the lead

[hydro11]

<p>Birdie for Ko.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Two pars gets Ko a bronze at least.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Big putt for silver upcoming.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Silver for Lydia. Makes a massive putt.</p>

[Mokey]

<p>Nice fightback by Lydia to win silver in the golf. Think it was obvious pretty early on that no one was going to catch Park.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>7th for Hewitt in the triathlon, bit gutted for her, really wanted her to get up after everything she has been through, but on form she wasn't really a medal contender.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5th for the K4 girls. They were 3rd at halfway mark but got mown down at the end. Promising signs though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is there anything else to go??</p>

<p>Boomers are choking in the BBall semis against Serbia here, been the story of the Games for us.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Had the two fastest men in the BMX final, and both missed the start and finished out of the medals. Choke city.</p>

<p>Those 2 guys won all 3 of their semi-finals and neither got a medal? Crazy!</p>

Just watching the soccer.<br><br>
Commentator says Kraut keeper is "former youth International". <br><br>
Que?<br><br>
This IS a youth international...

[booboo]

Exciting game though from what I've seen

[booboo]

Sarkar going to penalties.<br><br>
Brazil did everything but score a goal.<br><br>
Betting on the Krauts in a shoot out though.

[Rembrandt]

<p>If Willis wins today I wonder how many athletes will re-think their extracurricular activities. At the very least we'll have to remove the Willis auto-word-change.</p>

That Brazil keeper was on his shit today. Got touches on three of the five, stopped the last one.

[canefan]

<p>So who won it?</p>

[mariner4life]

She's not the prettiest athlete there, but I've had a thing for Blanka Vlasic since the Sydney Olympics

<p>Yeah, I waned Hewitt to get up. Never in it on the run unfortunately. I wonder where our next triathletes are going to come from?</p>
