Na she hasn't got the bottle to do it on the big stage, soon as she sees Jess her legs will turn to jelly like she's been 12 rounds with Mike Tyson

[Novo]

Bugsy get on that Hockey Pitch and show these flops how to play

[Black Dagger]

Team COL would get a bronze over these useless sods.

[Shaun]

the chavvy colonies booing our consolation as if they haven't just wasted 5 minutes pretending there was any need for a hawkeye thing. :idc: pitiful excuse for a country

[Nicky91]

wow TeamGB now on 3 gold medals, 3 silver medals and 6 bronze medals :clap1:


Go Joe Clarke, he really slayed with the Kayak :)

[Jack_]

Katherine Grainger about to go in her final

[Jack_]

NOT silver again

Poor woman

[Novo]

That Gold at London she won saved her would could have been the longest silver streak ever by now

[Black Dagger]

She's been in ****e form really. Silver wasn't even expected. Gutted though bc they were so close.

[Mystic Mock]

I wonder how many more medals we would've got if it weren't for Russia and Sun Yang?

[James]

Justin Rose has had a hole in one in the golf.

763752372942303232

[Shaun]

[Jack_]

[Shaun]

Touched the pole there, 2pt penalty to rub it in thank you :idc:

[Denver]

Silver again

[Shaun]

Yay silver!

[Braden]

Yes!

[Novo]

I have no idea about Equestrian scoring but these commenters are nearly wanking over Charlotte and this horse

[Pete.]

Murray is losing atm :worry:

[Black Dagger]

She's definitely getting the individual gold lol.

Germany are too strong in the team.

[Novo]

Murray can't get knocked out by Fognini

[Black Dagger]

We're supposed to be enjoying a Del Po/Murray final. This is a disaster.

[Novo]

**** off Murray you flop

[Black Dagger]

Useless **** you are Andy.

[Jack_]

This **** too tense for me in the rugby

[Ross.]

Murray :worry:

[Denver]

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sss

[Denver]

another gold medal match

[Jack_]

yaaaaaaSSSSSS

[Novo]

Yesssssssss let's beat these Fiji bastards

[Shaun]

Excellent stuff.

Did murray lose?!

[Denver]

Yesssssssss let's beat these Fiji bastards

i think its a great possibility as they havent been that remarkable

[Jack_]

Come on Fiona!

[Novo]

**** off Fiona

[Shaun]

For gods sake Fiona.

[Jack_]

:(

[Black Dagger]

Useless.

[Novo]

Murray breaks back

Yassssssssssd

[Black Dagger]

Come on Andy you bastard. Let's get level.

[Shaun]

He's got this

[Novo]

Get back home to Flavia you twat

[Shaun]

Piece of piss now.

[Novo]

Since when did Fogy have a skinhead

[Black Dagger]

Good turn around Andy luv. Let's break him to make sure x

[Shaun]

Fognini angrily fingering his own racket.

[Black Dagger]

He can finger my racket.

[Shaun]

Lol bye bye x

[Novo]

Kerber v Konta starting

http://i.imgur.com/BoiFvex.gif

[Shaun]

And the award for the least convincing hair dye combover goes to Dan Keating :worry:

[Black Dagger]

Konta is going to get dicked. This court doesn't suit her.

Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised bc I think she could beat the rest and make the final x

[Novo]

Don't be silly, Konta is playing the tennis of her life on this court

[Novo]

Oh no it's all gone wrong

[Black Dagger]

Konta flopping already.

[Shaun]

Would be nice if the female gymnasts mixed up the music a bit. Bored of that Einaudi piece and the odd bout of Crazy in Love/Burlesque now.

[Black Dagger]

Go away JoKo.

[Novo]

It is all your fault

[Black Dagger]

I told you the court was ****.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Simone 46.265, Aliya Mustafina 44.732, and Aly 44.665 with one rotation left. Fourth place is only 43.765.

REALLY hoping for a Simone-Aly 1-2

[Braden]

I know this is random as **** but it's sad we'll never know what Olympics is like in a thousand years time. It intrigues me.

[Macie Lightfoot]

ouch Aliya didn't even hit 14 on floor. Aly seems fine for silver.

[Macie Lightfoot]

15.433 for Aly!!!!!

[Shaun]

:clap1: to the USA

[Macie Lightfoot]

and 15.933 for Simone omfg

[Shaun]

Must be a bit gutting that you couldn't have had a 123 though. Gabby should be there over a, say, second bloody Italian.

[EspeonBB]

Biles (and the USA in general) is so far ahead of everyone else :clap1:

[Macie Lightfoot]

**** throw Laurie in there too and they'd go 1-2-3-4 I bet.

[Denver]

Why are the USA girls great but boys crap?

[Jack_]

I'm loving the playlists in the venues btw, banging tunes :elephant:

[Shaun]

poor Japan, not even got a glimmer of hope of a bronze in the 7s.

[Novo]

Into these Fiji pricks

[Jack_]

Let's pray for a miracle :fc:

[MTVN]

Good couple of nights this

[Shaun]

Think it might be a bit of a hammering but I shall hope :fc:

[Black Dagger]

They'll smash us.

[Novo]

46-0 GB

[Denver]

Fiji has the most ugliest team in the history of sport

[Shaun]

Why do they still use French as a secondary language with the IOC when it's behind Spanish in terms of international usage :think: (ignoring the others that have huge domestic numbers but none elsewhere)

[Shaun]

Oh if they've never won a medal then they can have the gold, I don't mind

[Denver]

Isnt French the language of more countries though?

[MTVN]

Tinpot country

[Shaun]

Well this was fun whilst it lasted

[Denver]

were dead

[MTVN]

Not going well

[Black Dagger]

Oh well

[Ross.]

Oh dear

[Novo]

Dear god

[Jack_]

A tad embarrassing

[Denver]

just handing it them now

[Shaun]

:joker:

[Novo]

Nice assist from Norton

[MTVN]

Absolute disgrace

[Jack_]

46-0 Fiji

Fixed

[Denver]

Well there is nothing Great about Britian

[Black Dagger]

What is the point of Jamie Murray

[Jack_]

I'm loving the playlists in the venues btw, banging tunes :elephant:

The juxtaposition of YMCA at a rugby sevens final is proof of this

[Black Dagger]

Well there is nothing Great about Britian

Yeah. We haven't just won gold in the cycling and broke world records tonight. You bloody cat nonce.

[Denver]

Yeah. We haven't just won gold in the cycling and broke world records tonight. You bloody cat nonce.

im talking about the rugby match you bloody raving lunatic

[Ross.]

Well there is nothing Great about Britian

I thought Brexit would put the Great back into Great Britain though?

[Shaun]

The juxtaposition of YMCA at a rugby sevens final is proof of this

Bit angry that I haven't heard the Macarena yet

[Denver]

I thought Brexit would put the Great back into Great Britain though?

[EspeonBB]

They're still getting silver so it's fine (plus this is Fiji's first ever medal :clap1:)

[Novo]

Yesssssssss

[Shaun]

[Ross.]

[Shaun]

[Novo]

Buatsi flooring that Azerbaijani 3 times, guy was like Bambi on ice trying to get up from the canvas

[Novo]

Murray and Watson must have got that mixed doubles place since I just seen that they beat Ferrer and CSN after the Murray v Fognini match

[Novo]

Got Mirza and Bopanna next though....

[Black Dagger]

Murray and Watson must have got that mixed doubles place since I just seen that they beat Ferrer and CSN after the Murray v Fognini match

Yeah somebody else dropped out. Can't remember who it was. Jamie and Joanna flopped though. Jamie has had a shocker.

[Novo]

Hopefully Murray and Hev go on a run to the final like Murray and Robson did in 2012, Vika wont be there this time to destroy them

[Ninastar]

These gymnasts are insane. Just teared up watching Simone Biles... what an inspiration.

[Jack_]

Glover and Stanning @ 15:06, Men's Four @ 15:27

[Novo]

Easiest Gold of the games for Glover and Stanning

[Jack_]

:clap1: :clap1: :clap1:

[Pete.]

OK ladies :clap1:

[Black Dagger]

That was a bit emphatic :clap1:

[Ross.]

Well done ladies :clap1:

[Novo]

We are going to win Gold in the fours as well

[Black Dagger]

Australia won't know what has hit them tonight when we get our silver in dressage and slay the team pursuit :idc:

[Novo]

Here we go. Gold #2

[Black Dagger]

You'll jinx it you Chester ****.

[Novo]

[Black Dagger]

Get rid of this ****ty dirge anthem.

[James]

I'm not nearly getting as excited (and emotional :s) at these rowing golds, as I was at London 2012.

The crowd stands near the finish were amazing at the London rowing.

[Niamh.]

^ people from Countries without Gold medals need permission to post in this holy thread

Back 2 minutes and already causing trouble NovoBaratheon :nono:

[Black Dagger]

I was proud of your silver Niamh, ignore him x

[Niamh.]

[Novo]

[Ross.]

[Jack_]

Thank **** for that

[Black Dagger]

Well that was ****ing exhausting. Imagine letting Steve Johnson giving you that much of a match.

[Novo]

The London 2012 podium was Serena, Vika and Sharapova and now just 4 years later it's probably Puig, Kerber, Keys

How times change

[Jack_]

Scenes at the women's football

[Shaun]

:joker: that was brilliant

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Vamos Rafa. Ignore the crowd you can do it http://i63.tinypic.com/fjhlee.gif

[EspeonBB]

The London 2012 podium was Serena, Vika and Sharapova and now just 4 years later it's probably Puig, Kerber, Keys

How times change

Yeah if you said 4 years ago that Sharapova would be suspended for doping and Azarenka would be pregnant :joker:

I like Puig, Kerber and Keys though so I'm happy that's likely the final podium

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Rafa...It's Belluci! Pummel him :bawling:

[Novo]

This could be the breakout tournament for Puig, been knocking on the door for a bit now but only just starting to string impressive results lately, that Muguruza result was brilliant

[Novo]

LOL Morgan

[Shaun]

All over for them

[Novo]

Hope Solo isn't even Diving ffs

[Shaun]

[Shaun]

Deserved after that glove-changing fiasco. Back to America with your baggy fanny :xyxwave:

[Novo]

And you as well Morgan you wannabe Toni Duggan http://cdn.thisisbigbrother.com/smilies/xyxwave.gif

[Shaun]

[Novo]

This is Lucas's specialist event

[Novo]

He know the ins and outs of this pompous horse charade

[Black Dagger]

This is Lucas's specialist event

I like the music bit, but this sounds all very quiet this time. The showjumping >>>>>

[Shaun]

Bryony :clap1:

[Shaun]

wtf just happened D:

[Shaun]

Silver medal for the team of gay horses, well done them

[Shaun]

Bryony only needs to beat 1 more to get a medal :omgno:

[Shaun]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAS :worship: Bryony <3

[Jack_]

[Pete.]

Miss Page is doing that :clap1:

[Shaun]

[Black Dagger]

Well that came out of nowhere. Amazing.

[Shaun]

Another OR for Calum Skinner.

[Shaun]

[Shaun]

World record in the team pursuit semi, silver confirmed but surely they'll get gold :love:

[Black Dagger]

Del Po :clap1:

[Novo]

Mirza and Bopanna twatting poor Hev and Murray

[smudgie]

:cheer2: Bradley getting another gold.

[Black Dagger]

Who are these two scrubs squashing Andy and Heather.

[Calderyon]

Finland still the most successful Summer Olympics nation in terms of medals when compared to population average.

Baffling.

[Novo]

Who are these two scrubs squashing Andy and Heather.

Mirza and Hingis have been dominating doubles but they split recently, she is one of the best doubles players ever and Bopanna only plays doubles as well so was a tough ask

[Black Dagger]

Oh I didn't know it was Hingis' partner!

I think I'd rather them go out, obviously it's a lost medal from the 2012 table. But you always do better in a home games, rather he focus on the singles.

[Black Dagger]

They're fighting. Break them back :clap1:

[Black Dagger]

Oh nvm.

[EspeonBB]

GB are third in the medal table now, and I think we can stay there as we have lots of medal chances still to go :clap1:

[Black Dagger]

We do :clap1:

Hopefully some more unexpected ones like in the trampolining today.

[Novo]

If you took swimming out then we would have 1 more Gold medal then USA up to this point, just shows much they have been dominating in the pool, we have been doing better all round

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Vamos Rafa and Marc Lopez in doubles finals

[Black Dagger]

Nadal wins gold.

Don't be selfish and let Del Po win tomorrow pal x

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Nadal wins gold.

Don't be selfish and let Del Po win tomorrow pal x

My babies http://i63.tinypic.com/fjhlee.gif


Delpo scary matchup but he can do it doggonit http://i63.tinypic.com/fjhlee.gif

[Novo]

Very happy for Rafa, terrible luck with injuries in the last few years and one if the nicest guys on the tour, deserved gold for him and Lopez

[Novo]

Hingis into the Womens double final as well

[Novo]

Could be another dramatic ending here in this Brazil v Australia match

[Novo]

The Aussies defending for their lifes
