Are you only allowed one boat per class in the rowing?
Anyway. Medal chance with 2 blokes in boat.

Pretty sure that's the case.OptimisticJock wrote:Are you only allowed one boat per class in the rowing?
But more importantly GOLD FOR NEW ZEALAND!!
Probably the least unexpected result of the games, Murray and Bond win a second Olympic gold for the men's pair, maintaining their 7 year winning streak at top level regattas.

Fair play to them but that's got to hurt after leading for about 1800m

Andy into 1/4s with a gritty win in 3 sets. Great stuff, esp the mental strength required to come back from a horror show in 2nd set.

Joshua Buatsi..what a talent.
power, attitude, tactics...level of cockiness with it.
Could be the name of the games in the ring for GB.

The cliche of GB lording it sitting down on expensive equipment is holding true atm..!
set fair for a medal or two for sure.All those lotto fails now don't seem so wasteful.

Shes one of those athletes who you don't have to know the sport to realize you're watching greatness. So smooth, so precise, such a combination of elegance, power and control. I hate watching gymnastics but even I found her compelling viewing.WaspInWales wrote:Simone Biles is something else!

Jessica Ennis-Hill and KJT get started today. If all goes well that should be two more medals, one of which could/should be a gold.

Don't count out Brianne Theisen-Eaton. She and her husband could be the 1st wife/husband to hold the heptathlon and Decathlon golds at the same time.Mellsblue wrote:Jessica Ennis-Hill and KJT get started today. If all goes well that should be two more medals, one of which could/should be a gold.
