    If Lisa happens to win her eighth gold in the individual she will slot into the alltime list at 16th - pushing Usain Bolt down to 17th, by dint of having a bronze medal that Usain doesn't have! 🙂

    Lids is looking very solid, but the field at the top of the leaderboard is packed.

    Watching the games in Oz is insufferable, Channel 9 News in particular, virtually hijacked by reports on the games, reporting like no other country was in the Olympics and not even putting on much news. Gave a whole lot of their journalists including the weatherman a cushy gig in Paris.

    Lids got a hint of her putt line from her Chinese playing partner, squeaked her birdie putt in to climb to within one of the lead. She is amazing up and down

    Stan is the only way to go.

    Big pressure on Fisher now. After having beat Carrington in the lead up, she will expect much. But the Olympics are Lisa's party, I hope whatever happens we get a NZ 1-2, and I wouldn't bet against the Dame

    Do you not have Stan?

    You can get all the jingoistic Unzid coverage you'd ever want ...

    11th on the medal table. With a solid haul of gold and silver. Think Germany is too far ahead to get any higher up.

    A couple of the joint leaders drop shots, so it’s Lydia and Uribe out in front.
