I wish the tv stations would let you choose track or field. Watching the pole vault and it kept going away to sprint heats. So annoying.

Yeah he only breaks it by a cm each time though. Smart guy with his sponsor incentives.
Looks like the Ukrainian was the same though. At the limit of your capacities you can’t just add 5 cm. I mean it took him 3 goes there after strolling past the other heights.

@Billy-Tell He was so confident of the win that he got his girlfriend a front row seat right by the pole vault mat so the world's press could get the shot of them embarrassing to celebrate his win.

Didn't even know who Finn Butcher was before this but a fantastic victory in tbh what seems to be a bit of a lottery of a sport but he dominated that race from start to finish (which given the mash-up that can occur when you try and circle the upstream bouys seems like a wise tactic).
So a completely unexpected gold medal - which is just awesome

Watching the W 3 on 3 basketball final
German Mevius’ dives would win Gold in the pool
Shameful
Spanish pissed off because of the cultural appropriation

So Wilde had E coli before the team event after swimming in the river Seine. So they were literally swimming in shit. How was that allowed lol, poor atheletes.

GB get the Gold. NZ the Silver.
Silver medal a huge result for the ladies. It's NZ's first women's team sprint medal in Olympic history so pretty big deal.
From Stuff:
Overlooked as a contender in the team sprint by many pundits, who instead were tipping world champions Germany, China and the Netherlands to challenge Great Britain, the Kiwis were electric. -

I imagine the traditional "best Olympic Games ever" will be tried at the end of it all, but things like making athletes swim in an open sewer should stop it from being taken too seriously...
