Wollastan keeps flirting with danger in the elimination race.

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

@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!

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

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

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

I struggle to run sub 3.3 minute 100 metres. (Might be exaggerating a tad)

Yeah. I'm tearing a hammy doing that

What's a hammy?

New Zealand very impressive!

Finland did well if you go back a while
