      Hayden gives McCullough his flowers for helping on the bike. And dropped an F bomb on live TV. And congratulates Yee. Awesome

      @canefan A bit of a Kane Williamson-like speech.

      Great race - no tears.

        As he said, he was happy it was a fair fight for he and Yee. No excuses, the best man won

          Amazing 10 mins for GB.

          Yee overtakes Wilde in the last 100 metres (boooo....) and then they overtook the Netherlands rowers in literally the last metre.

          Gutted for Wilde, he looks like he had that completely under control.

              Hugging each other at the end, great mates apparently

              And it'll be 4 years before I sit down and watch another whole triathlon.

                  That was a bit gutting. I feel for Wilde but from the looks of it he left it all out there on the run. Can't feel too bad for him.

                  Huge effort.

                  Probably expended a bit more on the cycle leg, but he put himself in a position to win gold and Yee had that little bit extra on the run.

                      The distance which separates the Women's BMX and Women's skateboard is absolutely massive

                      Then the blokes kick it up a million notches

                        An absolutely awesome Silver for Hamish Wilde and he deserves the Coubertin Medal for his sportsmanship at the end there.

                        Also a word for Alex Yee whose only fault in life is not being a Kiwi.

                          First gold medal for Guatemala and new Olympics record

                          Why the fuck is there a constant barrage of dance music whilst the ladies are shooting?

                          Madness. And so annoying.

                            Did you see some shooters earlier in the week, they wore what looked like leather motorcycle style outfits in the colours of their respective countries during competition. Weird

                                  Had the volleyball on for a bit yesterday and by fuck it was annoying, as soon as a point was done some shit pop/dance music would break out a millisecond later and drown everything, then not stop until just as the server hit the ball.

                                  Eden park DJ seems to have got an Olympics gig.

                                          Coverage of that Triathlon was shit.

                                          Why were we getting saturation coverage of the Frogs with no coverage of the leader showing split to second changing.
