The dressage is basically Morris Dancing for horses.

Another GOLD for Team GB in the swimming pool in the men’s 4 x 200 metre freestyle! And we won it by miles. 🥇
And a silver in the rowing.

Think we’ve got a big chance in the mixed swimming relay and men’s 4x100 medley relay. Peaty gives us a real edge and Scott and Guy are class acts. Weakness is our backstroke.

When I used to go fishing on the Thames and also the Ouse I think it was, occasionally some rowers would go past,
then out of the blue one them really long ones would come along, they were really impressive. It's hard to explain but when you're not expecting it and that happens, well.

The rowing finished with a silver and bronze medal. Not good enough.

Here’s a virtual medal table which predicts we’ll finish with fourteen golds. The Americans rank countries by number of medals one rather colour of medal. Whatever way they finish top. www.gracenote.com/virtual-medal-table/I’m a bit surprised that the Russians have sent 300 athletes when they’re supposed to be banned. Guess we’ll pick up a few more medals after the Olympics when they get tested positive for drugs.

For all sports fans I hope it comes to life with field and track.Though I did read our discuss bloke is out,three throws,all foul throws so did not qualify I'm surprised that you said that, I think it's been great. The only time I'm not watching it is when I'm asleep. I thought it might be a lesser Olympics because of no crowds but I can't say it's bothered me. Having some team members and volunteers etc in the stands at least gives it a bit of atmosphere and with the outside events there were plenty watching. I'm also enjoying that I haven't seen an advert on the tele for over a week. Anyone see that big fish rise out of the water at the rowing? It was during a close up of one of the boats after they finished, looked like a salmon.

I've just scoured the internet and seen a few vids of fish jumping during the rowing but haven't seen the one I saw.
The one I saw didn't fly like those ones. it only come out of the water a couple of inches and it was huge in comparison, and a different type of fish.
