    Aarghhh!!

    Wilde climbing stairs at the end.

    He just needed to have one more little surge to disillusion Yee's chase.

    Wonder why Yee let him get so far ahead.

      That was a bit gutting. I feel for Wilde but from the looks of it he left it all out there on the run. Can't feel too bad for him.

      Must have burned a lot of fuel making up for the swim.

        That's how you time your run

        Silver nothing to sneeze at.

        Great race

          Maybe Yee was sticking to his own race strategy? With about a km to go he looked cooked. Fuck bloody

              The commentators said Wilde flew his family over. They have never seen him race overseas. Pretty awesome

                    What a race in the rowing - Women's Quad Sculls

                    On the line for GB over the Dutch

                    Great timing

                            As he said, he was happy it was a fair fight for he and Yee. No excuses, the best man won

                              Amazing 10 mins for GB.

                              Yee overtakes Wilde in the last 100 metres (boooo....) and then they overtook the Netherlands rowers in literally the last metre.

                              Gutted for Wilde, he looks like he had that completely under control.

                                      Huge effort.

                                      Probably expended a bit more on the cycle leg, but he put himself in a position to win gold and Yee had that little bit extra on the run.

                                          The distance which separates the Women's BMX and Women's skateboard is absolutely massive

                                          Then the blokes kick it up a million notches

                                          Great BMX finals
