    Great stuff by Ellesse!

    I think I'd like the Dutchwoman to win the other race - I think she nearly got beaten by Shaane Fulton (?) - but, I don't think she will. Good they've gone to three in the other semi - it can't hurt!

        Just flicked onto the women's modern pentathlon. They've already done the showjumping and the fencing, quick change and now swim next. The pool looks small, maybe 25m?

          Wollaston in 5th after 2 events in the omnium. Not many points off a bronze. I don't know how they are able to work out the placings in the tempo race for those who scored no points at all. Anyone know?

            Pankration was in the ancient Olympics.. so if that did happen it would restoring a traditional sport

                  Andrews takes first race.

                  Commentator said it would be a huge upset if she won one race. WTF.

                    Did that comfortably - and if it goes to three she'll have less work in her legs!

                      We are currently 12th in the medal table, just behind Canada with both having 9 golds and 7 silver. Canada have a lot more bronzes than us. I presume that given we will win at least a silver this means we will finish in 11th.

                        @Damo Can those Canadians not win anything else?

                        I've been taunting a Canadian friend that we were poised to strike.

                        We won the high jump - and those feckers came back with gold in breakdancing!

                        And that stupid C1 canoeing to match Lydia! ๐Ÿ™‚

                            Wollastan keeps flirting with danger in the elimination race.

                              Not that much - but, I think they've got someone in the womes's omnium.

                                If we are tied on golds I think that means we win because the breakdancing is only worth half a medal.
