    A slow time for a final.

    Morning final vs heats at night.

    Yeah, blame the US networks.

    Based on a far from normal build-up, we are unlikely to see many WR beating performances IMHO

    Being a Laser sailor myself I will be keenly watching Sam Meech in his first race at 5.30pm. He won Bronze last time out so hopefully he can get on the podium again.

    Italy 1st
    Australia 2nd
    GB 3rd
    NZ 4th, still fighting for that 3rd spot.

    They need to finish 2nd (if I heard that correctly).

    Grumpy, because they're not showing the men's tennis double on Sky Sport, but a women's singles game.

    Yes. The only swimmer slower in the last 50 m was the winner!

    Needs to work on his butterfly.

    Probably blew his load a bit last night in the heats. But with no semis it’s very difficult to ease off.

    How utterly ridiculous that they can’t take off their masks on the podium.
