    As expected, we gain a silver in the women's team sprint (our first ever). Good ride by them considering Aussies were overwhelming favourites, and they set a new NZ record.

    One of the kiwi cycling chicks who just received a medal looked a bit cute.

    Silver lining to the aussie medal avalanch? Ch7 don't have time to flog on endlessly about all of them. Not a terrible family interview to be seen.

    Just keep showing them sandpaper and ask them what tactics you reckon they used to win everytime they do.

    It'll get old very quick, but still worth it to let them know that you now assume they are cheating at every possible sport.

    Watched David Nyika's first fight. Hard to take much from it cos his opponent spent most of his time swinging like a bar drunk, but he looked like he has fast feet. Not sure what was going on with the ring ropes. Padded is one thing, but the amount of give was ridiculous.

    Also watched the last quarter of the Silver Ferns vs Wales. Obviously not the top 7 on court, but on the whole they looked sloppy. Poor passing, poor shooting and way too many penalties against a side ranked a long way below them.

    I elect not to bother caring. The uni games are bigger.

    The Welsh team must have thought the Games were in Magaluf.

    Shocking.

    My mate's kid Joel Makin playing tomorrow in the squash.

    Can't wait.

    First two matches won.

    Round of 16 today. Fingers crossed

    3-0 victory

    Through to the last 8

    One more victory and then it's playing for a medal time šŸ‘Œ

    Dylan Kennett wins bronze in the Men's Individual Pursuit. Smashed the Aussie in the 3rd/4th ride. Natasha Hansen riding for gold or silver (prob silver) in the Women's sprint. Sam Webster and Ed Dawkins have both made it to the final of the Keirin.

    Doesn't help that two of their strongest sports are at the front of the games.

    Can we have multiple medal events for throwing steel balls please?

    Nice to win a bronze in the swimming. If Clareburt had a breaststroke, he probably would have won.
