It’s raining in Tokyo, the ‘Jumping over a high bar using a big bendy stick’ has been temporarily called off. Rain, or no rain, it amazes me that that do it at all ! Edit: It’s absolutely pissing down! Awful conditions would have made it more of a spectacle 😁 |

13 year old girl just won bronze for GB.
13! And she's winning medals at the Olympics.
Christ, at that age I was still pretending to be Bryan Robson on the field and watching Saturday morning kids TV.

If you look at those who are skateboarding on a regular basis, they tend to be kids anyway. |

Katie Archibald and Laura Kenny (nee Trott) have just slaughtered the rest of the field in the Madison, winning by 43 points.
Absolutely brilliant.

I’ve just watched the German ,Anneke Schleu in the showjumping.
She was formally leading the Women’s Modern Pentathlon.
Her horse, which already looked lairy as she came into the arena ,completely refused to cooperate ,and she was eliminated, leaving the area in a right old state emotionally!
