Hayden gives McCullough his flowers for helping on the bike. And dropped an F bomb on live TV. And congratulates Yee. Awesome

That's what the 'Lympics is about.
Hugging each other at the end, great mates apparently
And it'll be 4 years before I sit down and watch another whole triathlon.
2 mate. Comm games

Great interview with Yee

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.

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.

spiking the ball towards the Eiffel Tower with the ball caught in the gap in the metalwork
Not a euphemism?
A wide angle version of this perspective and composition - but maybe the tower may look too small
Alternatively a zoomed in shot compressing the foreground and background

An absolutely awesome Silver for Hamish Wilde and he deserves the Coubertin Medal for his sportsmanship at the end there.
Also a word for Alex Yee whose only fault in life is not being a Kiwi.

Watching the women's Trap shooting
First gold medal for Guatemala and new Olympics record
Why the fuck is there a constant barrage of dance music whilst the ladies are shooting?
Madness. And so annoying.

Did you see some shooters earlier in the week, they wore what looked like leather motorcycle style outfits in the colours of their respective countries during competition. Weird

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

The British guy had a huge last ride and was a little unlucky not to get a higher score. But the Argentinian got massive air.

Had the volleyball on for a bit yesterday and by fuck it was annoying, as soon as a point was done some shit pop/dance music would break out a millisecond later and drown everything, then not stop until just as the server hit the ball.
Eden park DJ seems to have got an Olympics gig.

Marchand times his attack perfectly and beats Milak in the 200m Butterfly for the gold and OR

The French anthem was made for this guy: Marchand Marchand qu’un sang impur
