    Yep, think the theory is that the opponent punches with less force, some evidence concussion is reduced quite a lot

    Yes, I read Fran's link. Can't argue with the research experts, but I was amazed.

    Yep, very counter intuitive isn't it!

    It doesn't take a lot to counter my intuition :)

    Yep. Get ready for the Gold medal tally to jump up a bit now that the British track cycle team have got going.

    And the GB women have smashed the team pursuit world record, so I'd expect a gold medal there too.

    Sevens is already guaranteed to be in Japan 2020.

    It's the Olympics after Japan for which they must decide whether to retain it or not.

    Looking forward to Track and Field starting tomorrow. Let's hope for some outstanding fast times on the track particularly in the men's 1,500m for men where I hope the Kenyans dominate. Prediction time Kenya gold in the 800m, 1500m, 3,000m steeplechase, bronze in the 5000m, nothing in the 10000m where the Ethiopians should really set about challenging Mo Farah to run a race well under 28 minutes.

    I expect you're interested St Helen; the women averaged 35.33mph in their new World Record.

    Will be annoying only getting a silver, but Fiji are such a joy to watch in sevens.
