The Italian triple jumper is easy on the eye.

The Dutch anchor in the mixed 4 x 100 is arguably the best run I’ve ever seen.
Incredible.
She ran like it was 100 m even though it was actually 400 m!

Is there any evidence against the Chinese swimmer…or is just that he’s Chinese?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
But if you google him now it’s all about the speculation of being a drugs cheat.
Absolutely shameful.

I mean if his name was Marchand no one would bat an eyelid.
The Chinese do have history so im not saying he’s definitely clean but it strikes me as a bit of racism for the moment.

racism
I think that's pushing it.
Freak performance from a country with form.

@Billy-Tell probably more casual than actual.
Brett Hawke knew what he was doing.

New Zealand at 7 medals kind of feels we are in a holding pattern and are a bit stuck. Can we beat 20?
I don't think we can. Where will they come from? Canoeing and kayaking? Cycling? Outside chance in the high jump?

Do you think we might be looking at a leaner medal tally? We are only halfway through the games.
Without giving it too much thought, I'd say yes.
The 20 came with a domination of a sport, rowing. Back to a more normal haul in rowing , so back to a more normal overall tally

We barely feature in the second week. Oh how we miss Val Adams giving us someone to win us a medal in track and field

100 metres is pretty brutal if you have a false start. Four years of training down the gurgler.
I reckon they should have a repercharge heat for the false starters where they are penalized by having their blocks moved back a metre - so they have to run 101 metres.

Watched a couple of guys get DQed from their heats last night.
Must be guttering that you don't even get the chance to lose.
