Did you see his arms and legs?
Why don't they grease them up so they slide instead of squeak.
No way he'll sleep well for the next week or two.

Yeah he was a mess, just burns like that to the face are nasty... he was lucky he didn't break his jaw considering his chin seemed to be what broke his fall....

Just unlucky, real unlucky... took some massive stones to get back on the bike again...

Hoy at 62 becomes the oldest medalist for any country in any Olympic sport since 1968...pretty sure he's the oldest Australian to win a medal.

Bit stiff in the soccer, thought there was nothing wrong with Kerr’s goal

Very stiff

The whistle went well before the goal was kicked, I thought. Can't be too upset.

Sweden scores a minute into the second half. Well played, impressive goal.

Not sure why the ref does that now that VAR is a thing. Let play go and call the FK if they score; then VAR can overturn it if there's no foul.

The Aussie girl (Hull) makes it through, but the one to watch is the Dutch girl.

I've found a replay via twitter (albeit very grainy with Mexican commentary):
https://twitter.com/ChrisChavez/status/ ... 6423969795

Watched it live .... amazing performance. She also competes in the 5k and 10k, so she was hoping for a soft heat run, but that all changed with a lap to go. Great recovery.

The girl that fell over in the heat of the 1500m (Hassan), just won the 5,000m Gold Medal.

Drama at the cycling. Mens team pursuit

As an expert I will sumarise...

Danish team cheated yesterday, caught out, but allowed to ride today stopping us riding for gold.

The cheats riding against GB crash into the back of the third GB rider knocking both off. Danish rider has a go at the GB rider even though he caused the crash.

Denmark having spat it walked off. Quite probably expecting a restart. Nope.

The injured GB rider eventually got back on to complete the ride.

Denmark out.

Karma.
