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

not many african nations yet, but athletics events are still to come so likely one or two changes going to come to the medal table

and of course also Jamaica whom i also expect to get a couple of medals at least, maybe quite a lot of medals there

england also got bronze medal in men's team table tennis


final currently ongoing, Singapore vs India
