Lol the Aussie girls 4x400 team seem fun. I feel like they are gonna twist off to celebrate

Never seen a gang so happy about finishing 2nd last in a heat.

Looking at the schedule, I see that in women's football, the USA have won bronze after beating Australia 4 - 3.

The gold medal match between Sweden and Canada is tomorrow at 2pm.

Sooooo hawt. If you spent the night with her you would be broken by morning. Literally

@canefan any number of ways

There's a new leader in the women's pole vault. The American has just jumped 4.90m.

The Brit finishes at bronze.

So the fight for gold continues, with the Russian now going for 4.90 (she missed 4.85m).

Drama. Has the Ukrainian bird won with a second to go. Amazing

Thought we were going to extra time after the hook kick by the Taiwanese girl. Judges' decision? Should just keep fighting

What is the hype about this karate? It’s shit.

The American only cleared the entry 4.50 m with her third attempt. I suppose it's not how you start but how you finish.

Stargazer

The Russian misses.

GB wins Bronze.
ROC wins Silver. She lead almost the entire time. The American's last jump took the gold away.
USA pole vaulter wins Gold, but has another jump left ....

booboo

Hockey was entertaining huh?

1-0 to Belgium into 4th quarter.

Aus equaliser which I missed. (May or may not have coincided with a trip to the freezer to conduct a stocktake on the ice cream ... I can report there is still some left... ).

1-all full time = straight to shootout.

Down to 5th (I think) shot by the Aussies: score or lose.

Saved! Yay Belgies win! But hang on ... TMO.

Result's in re take.

This time Belgies win.

Enjoyed that.

And the American hottie wins the pole vault

Look, it's no backwards running...

Stargazer

The American wanted to try 5.01m but sees it's too much (also with all the emotion) and abandons the attempt.

GOLD at 4.90m it is!

mariner4life

Love the 400, great distance

Stargazer

Go orange!
