Excited for the women's 100m sprint in Tokyo today. Happy that Dina is in good shape but defo cheering for the Jamaicans.

How is it in your house when a british athlete is up against someone from the country of your family heritage?

@EchoNan - wan two tree four 🇯🇲on Independence Day! lots of pots banging back home 😂

Was a bit dubious for a while for both the Jamaican and British teams for sake of the handover zone issues but hopefully no appeals. Both teams very happy.

Was very happy for the GB men although I wish they could have held on to the gold 😞 What a blast from Italy!

It's all coming to an end but enjoyed it. GB has done very well across such a range of sports. That's what funding and support for talented sportspeople can achieve.

Roll on Paris 2024!

@Maggiethecat
The Olympics will never be the same now! I'll always keep an eye out for Jamacia and think of you and yours and the Jam supporters here. Grin ( And your cake recipe!)
Joining you in a patty, we tracked some down in Morrisons. Very tasty!

So so so proud! They performed superbly 👌🏾

Wonderful to see the gb women's team get a medal too 🥰

When is the medal ceremony? That podium will be dripping with excellence!

@EchoNan - raising a patty to you too!! Smile

@Heiferr - good to see the melted frostiness between our girls. Unity is strength! The GB girls have healthy doses of that.
Also glad SFP ends her Olympics journey with a gold.

Imagine what we’ll be chatting about in 2024?!!

@Maggiethecat absolutely! The interview with them was so heartwarming!

Jamaica was breathtaking today!! Goosebumps! My people sadly lost the women’s football final today. Sad loss for an awesome team who has played with such integrity and grace. Canada was utterly brilliant too of course.

@Lndnmummy - saw some of that match and the end - it's always heartbreaking to lose on penalties. But well done Sweden!

Just watching the closing ceremony, I'll miss the Olympics, it's such a lovely event Smile

The trio were at it again in the Diamond league at the weekend!
Elaine is getting closer to Flo-Jo's record and emphatically silenced the American blagger Sha'carri Richardson.
