Dame Laura Kenny's lovely but why on earth the BBC are showing her and Claire Balding having a chat on a sofa ahead of live Olympic Track Cycling I'll never know.

Germany Vs Netherlands in the 3rd/4th play off of the women's team spirit. GB and NZ are in the Gold\Silver race.

The Germans win the Bronze.

Silver. Not bad at all.

[sparky]

GB get the Gold. NZ the Silver.

@Billy-Tell They seem happy - great rides to break the WR 4 times in the event.

[MiketheSnow]

1 down, 7 to go

3 rounds, 3 WR

Impressive

I had noticed Ireland doing well. Popping up on gymnastics and rowing I have watched.

Duplantis. Most dominant athlete at these games that I’ve seen.

Nice to see a Brit take out the 800 m

Gold for the UK's Keely Hodgkinson in the women's 800 metres. Far too strong for the rest of the field.

I wish the tv stations would let you choose track or field. Watching the pole vault and it kept going away to sprint heats. So annoying.
