No..I just found out who she was today..my sister and her mum used to compete together for the local swimming club..my sister being the better of the 2.

great races last night at the swimming


Stubblety-Cook :love: good on Wilby for making it him a bit difficult, and good on Ross Murdoch for pulling off a surprise bronze medal



GO Aussies too in 4x100, such a great team, William Yang you got a chance against but already Chalmers is a force to be reckoned with, and then the two power ladies with superb finisher Emma McKeon

good on England for playing a safety and at least securing the silver rather than blowing themselves up in terms of energy, i mean you can try to challenge Emma but that is more a all or nothing, because silver is still better than bronze or even nothing




gymnastics, holy **** Joe Fraser, wow he did so well in securing gold medal

good on Cyprus for a little surprise bronze there

am enjoying this so much


also when some of the other better countries at olympics don't compete, good to see those to fully take advantage and shine very brightly whom normally at olympics are chanceless



now track cycling on


quite exciting how many close call in the heats :o

noone is watching in Scotland as the football season has started

Bad Crash in the velodrome, Matt Walls ended up flying into the crowd with his bike and has finally been transported to hospital after 40 mins of being treated, atleast 1 other cyclist was taken to hospital with a few getting bad cuts

shame about Peaty, but good on him for a 4th place when just coming back from foot injury



but Australia's world record 4x200, Tidmus pulling off a world record too :clap2:




South Africa men winning rugby sevens from Fiji, and Australia women winning over Fiji




am enjoying these games a lot


also super lovely to see para-sports as well here, stunning achievement Alice Tai




Duncan Scott this time winning from Tom Dean, while at olympics it was other way around :love:

An unexpected renaissance for the former nurse :smug:

today and tonight

from 18:00 on BBC2
and

from 19:00 on BBC1
.

I'd be putting a claim in if I was in the crowd.

england men got lucky in the hockey getting back to 4-4 draw, from 1-4 behind against India



AMAZING swim from Duncan Scott last night to save the scots into a bronze medal from first 3 swimmers of theirs 6/8 position :love:

Australia again a gold of course, although England also did well with Tom Dean, doing enough to at least secure the silver

I’ve just caught about 30 minutes of the games ..

It looks like the women spend far too much time and energy on their appearance

Half of them look ready for a night out on the town !!

Full makeup , over elaborate hairstyles , crazy nails , jewellery, piercings and tattoos


How times change
