She looked like she could have done another triathlon.Silver medal for Britain's Georgia Taylor-Brown. She might have competed for the gold if she hadn't got a flat tyre towards the end of the bike element.Absolutely brilliant race. Taylor-Brown was so unlucky but showed incredible strength to catch up with the leading pack and take silver. I stayed up for it and feel knackered now. I was really enjoying this last night but sleep got the better of me. How did Jess Learmonth do in the end?

Van Der Poel claims he crash was because a plank on the course during practice was removed for the actual race. This along with the shambolic (and very dangerous) start to the Triathlon event does make you wonder if the Japanese / IOC were ready for the games or are they affected by Covid pullouts so no one experienced is around.

Why are we so rubbish in the last five seconds of taekwando matches? It's bringing back painful memories of numerous injury time Villa disasters against scummy teams in red.

Never been there and no great desire to go from what I've heard. Commentator said Duffy is the only triathlete in history to post the fastest swim, bike and run portions in the same event. I assume she won it.
