Excellent seeing Amy Tinkler up there with the Americans.
Simone is going to become a legend of the sport

I do like watching the Olympics 😊

Really disappointed we've failed to qualify for the Team Showjumping Final Sad You have to wonder what is going on with British Showjumping when two of your four team members are over 60 and a third is only a few years off 60!

I was sobbing at any tinkler winning bronze. I've got the penalty shoot out in Brazil vs Sweden on now. The noise in the stadium is incredible.

Another medal in the gymnastics! Fantastic!I thought he was going to get the silver then but still really good

And gold for Germy, yay, I'm m so pleased Fabian Hambuechen finely won something.

Go to the rank tab to see the running total for the whole event and medals.

Gold!

So by my calculations there are 10 track cycling events in the Olympics. We've won Gold in 5 events so far with the potential for 2 more tonight. In the 3 other races high we didn't win we finished in 2 of them and didn't have a team in the third.

Bronze in the women's sprint.

Id love Laura Trott to be sports personality of the year. Not sure she'd beat the 'bigger' names though (Andy Murray is currently the favourite on oddschecker.) Also, its been a decade since a woman won, Zara Phillips being the last to do so (although Jess Ennis-Hill has been in the top 3 four times)

Mirandawest · 16/08/2016 22:44

Who went past the Durney bike then?

Mirandawest · 16/08/2016 22:44

This is rather stressful

PurpleDaisies · 16/08/2016 22:45

I don't like this at all...

LotsOfDots · 16/08/2016 22:49

Phew!!!

TrionicLettuce · 16/08/2016 22:50

Phew!!!!

AuldYow · 16/08/2016 22:52

Phew indeed!

PurpleDaisies · 16/08/2016 22:52

Oh my goodness. No nerves left here...

BestIsWest · 16/08/2016 22:53

Not sure I can watch any more!

PurpleDaisies · 16/08/2016 22:54

What on earth?!!!!!

AuldYow · 16/08/2016 22:55

Arghhhhhhhh - you'd have thought they'd have learnt!

TrionicLettuce · 16/08/2016 22:55

Oh for fucks sake......

AuldYow · 16/08/2016 22:55

It'll be the news at 12 at this rate

BestIsWest · 16/08/2016 22:57

Argh! My Iplayer crashed at the vital moment. Good grief.

LotsOfDots · 16/08/2016 22:57

I can't bear this. Has anyone decided to watch the diving on BBC4 instead?!

Armi · 16/08/2016 22:57

Bloody hell!!!!!!
