Andrews takes first race.

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

[Chris B.]

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!

Don't know. What else is even happening?

[Damo]

Wollastan keeps flirting with danger in the elimination race.

[Chris B.]

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.

[Pepe]

Boom!...

[sparky]

Has any country of New Zealand's population ever got into double figures in terms of Golds before?

[1kiwi]

Scary thing is she is only 24. She could totally dominate again come LA 2028

[SBW1]

Is this our final total?
