    The host nation are having one helluva games so far. Second in the medals table behind Japan at the moment and second in most medals won behind the USA too. Vive La France!

    Sounds like Hayden Wilde has a mare in the swim and he's in deep merde

    He had a pretty slow swim. Was out of the water about 1 minute off the lead. Should catch up by the end of the bike leg though. Hopefully still has something in the tank for the run.

    His chase group has closed up with the lead group. McCullough is there too. Game on

    McCullough sat on the back of the lead group doing no work until Hayden's group got to within 10-15 seconds - then he dropped back and dragged them up the last little bit.

    Good work Dylan!

    Hopefully he can help Wilde on the run. The 32 man lead group appear to be too far away from the rest of the field

    Wilde away smoothly. Someone is 10000m away from a medal. Is Wilde a strong runner? His arch rival Alex Yee is leading out trying to get away early

    Wilde is in about 4th from the looks of it. Pretty close. Yee is flying at the front but a bit early to mean much.

    This is going to be a great race from here. Two front leaders seem to be a long way ahead.

    Unless he does a Craig Barrett, the worst Wilde can do is silver you would think. Apparently Wilde doesn't usually run down Yee. I was going to say Wilde should try to crack Yee. Just as I type Wilde is trying to push away from Yee
