First 6 home all collapsed after the line, totally ended. Yee looks completely ****ered, exhausted and don't think he can comprehend he won that !
 
Holy **** ! The Women's quadruple sculls get up on the line with the final stroke to snatch Gold. Jeez, that was a sicker finish than the Triathlon ! Not good for the old ticker this, but great fir the medal table lol

Disgraceful meltdown by the US tennis player (Gauff) when a call was (correctly I think) made against her. Really poor, glad she lost.

Disagree with you here SB. As she went to hit the ball the linesman called it out, and as she was mid-swing she hit the ball into the net. It was then over-ruled as the ball was actually in, and they gave the point to her opponent. I reckon she has a right to be angry as the linesman made a mistake that distracted her, caused her to make a mistake and they rewarded her opponent for it. I'd be pretty pissed off if I were in her position too.

She behavied like a spoilt brat and lost as a consequence. Anyone who argues with the officials in any sport deserves no sympathy, even if the officials have made a mistake.

How’s Paris? Marchand fever aside of course….
