Another SHOCK team departure the OPALS gone , knocked out of the medal round by Serbia, gee our teams are really falling like nine pins.

That leaves the Boomers our last chance.

Well done to the Sailors, came through once again just like London.

The British have dominated cycling, our once successful cycling contingent have faded away.

Murray Stewart , fastest qualifier in the K1 - couldn't get a medal in the final.

Britains most successful OS Olympics.

The Sailors are doing some heavy lifting for our side like in London.Helps cover all the Shock exit in all the team sports apart from Boomers.
let's go sailing.
Just on the Sailing thought the Tv coverage was fantastic..Aerial shots live 3d maps,graphs.CH7 copped plenty with the RIO Telecast .
Apologys to the Womans Rugby 7's who won the Gold in a team sport.

Good comments coming out about the gb cycling team.

Lame ducks for 4 years, then kill the pig for 1 week during the Olympics, then never to be seen again.

Interesting!!

They did well in London mate, and don't forget Sir Chris Hoy and Victoria Pendleton have retired since then.

Too true on Hoy and Pendleton but am talking about the team roster as a whole, remember they’re just average hacks till the Olympics.

The Irish swimmer Michelle Smith de Bruin, who came 13th in her race in Perth, was a one shot wonder that had pb’s nowhere near what she did at Atlanta. Never fired a cracker after ’96 and proved for doping from 1997.

Am always wary of the Michelle Smiths come the Olympics.

Yeah Smith De Bruin was a very strange appearance and looked sus.

TBH I would be very surprised is the British came up as drug cheats, they just have a great programme

If we miss a medal in the long jump , this will be the first time since 1976 we have failed to win a single medal in Athletics.
