NZ Ferald went early on calling that Gold. For all the last jump was a strange one, Kerr hadn't looked in celebration mode

[MajorPom]

Kerr looks mentally done. Hmmmm

[Donsteppa]

Needs a quick shot of Weetbix

Both of their techniques are on the slide.

[MajorPom]

Yeah neither look great now, but Kerr certainly looks worse

Team GB has hit the British Olympic Association's target for 60 medals with a day to spare. This is good news for sports funding in the UK.

Unlike previous recent games, there was no BOA target for Golds.

Watched the last hour of the high jump in bed. Great to see gold for Lydia.

Amazing night for the Kiwis.

Totally perfect and unblemished night for NZ sport.
