We need to mix it up too. Our Plan A of high ball bombs was just playing into their hands, and we kept on doing it, without any recourse to a different strategy. May as well have left Watson at home.

 

Really sad news.

 

Sounds like it’s going to rain right at the start of the GP.

Good good…

 

Rain makes the most boring of tracks come to life. Possibly apart from Monaco.

 

Problem is, it's raining now. I want it to rain just after the start whilst they're all on slicks!

 

What a superb evening for Italy! Joint gold in the high jump, and now gold in the 100m for men. Good times as well. Whilst Jacobs may not be Usain Bolt 9.80, 9.84 and 9.89 are excellent times for the guys on the podium.

 

WOW! Norris clobbers Max!

 

I feel we may have seen the Queen of this Olympics Track and Field with the fantastic world breaking leap in the Ladies' Triple Jump by Rojas!!!! 15.67 to absolutely smash it.

 

Red Bull will probably claim Norris was helping out his fellow Brit!

 

That was utterly appalling driving from Bottas.

 

Missed the start ffs. Red flag now.

 

Red flag.

 

Bottas and Stroll being crap. Ruined the race.

 

Well no. Pushed into Max by Bottas.

 

The other legendary statement from the past was provided by David Coleman in the 1972 Olympics when desciribing the 400m, "Juantorena opens his legs and shows his class."

 

Yeah, I posted that live without seeing replays.

 

That first corner was just absolute carnage!

 

Yeah that really was beyond awful from Bottas.

 

May well be the final nail in his Mercedes coffin.

 

Worse from Stroll tbf.
