Summer Olympics/Paralympics, Tokyo, delayed to 2021

That's the fastest proper race ever. Flo Jo's record shouldn't count. What's the story with them not liking each other?

I don't know either but it was pretty obvious there was no love lost there.

From what they're saying it may have something to do with a coach/trainer.

Ah, thanks. Hopefully those Jamaican girls come to Brum next year, would be some spectacle.

Agreed, don't recognise Flo-Jo's time either.  Think it's because Elaine Thompson-Herah voted Leave.

Was hoping Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce would win, she seems nice. Doubt Asher-Smith would have got a medal anyway.

It was nice of the winner to thank Paul McGrath.

Is the boxer Yafai one of us? He's Brummie.

I see San Marino won another medal. That's two in three days after having won zero in their previous 61 years trying. Different medalists, too, not the same person.

Nice to see the San Marinos, Fijis and Irelands of this world getting their moment in the sun.

Dunno much about BMX trick racing but that was amazing by Charlotte Worthington. Another Gold for GB. Makes being a massive alcoholic insomniac worthwhile watching that.

Khyzhniak is fucking scary in the ring. He did not take a step back all match. Well, except for when he was hit in the balls.

[Scott Nielsen]

Khyzhniak vs Marcial should be some fight.

She really surprised Hannah Roberts who was expecting to have the gold in the bag. She’s rather good, as well.

I thought the BMX tricks were more varied and interesting than what I was watching in the equivalent skateboard competition. The BMXers did amazing stuff on the bikes all over the park, reaching incredible heights. I’ve no idea how difficult it was but everybody involved in the other one just skated up to a flight of steps and slid down the banister! 

Great that Duncan Scott has walked away with 4 medals, as well. I like the mixed relays in Triathlon, swimming and on the track, it makes teams think about who they are supporting to get better!

The eventing was miles better than the dressage although that’s not difficult. Eddie Izzard is probably the only person ever to make it interesting and she didn’t even need a horse.

Ben Whitaker has just credited McGrath as well, with getting him to the gold medal match.
Unless he was who CD meant, earlier, and I was watching a repeat of an interview.

Frazer Clarke through after Aliev was disqualified. Arguably the latter was the better boxer up until that time but his behavior after the warning (which was correct) did not meet the approval of the referee. That did nothing to improve Aliev's demeanor to be sure...

[Scott Nielsen]

Aliev still in the ring, refusing to leave.

Schauffele wins gold, Sabbatini silver, Casey and McIlroy in a play off with 5 others for the bronze.
