Tennis: Going for Gold à Paris

Well done Qinwen

I mean, I wouldn't have out money on her getting this far, so you'd think she would be happy with a final- but I'm sure she is disappointed.

Yes winning silver at the Olympics is no mean feat! I guess these people are so competitive we can't comprehend it

Very coordinated outfits

They are a lot more co-ordinated than the Mixed lot. But they were Mixed Doubles .

They are all smiling- which is more than the blokes could manage earlier!

Iga's trousers do looks a bit jodphur shaped though. Which is a bit odd.

Nice to see Donna has cheered up and Iga too

RG should start hosting pop concerts, there's been a lot of singing this past week.

This is nice- Iga was so very upset, but she has clearly taken a leaf from her idol Rafa's book, and realised it's a new day- and moved on.

And she's done the selfie!

That's better- Donna looks pretty chuffed with the medal in the slo -mo bits.

I wouldn't have recognised Mary Pierce!

I feel like I should do something useful- but- I want to watch Lorenzo and Felix.

Everyone has gone off to watch a Gaelic match so I'm not moving although I will have to cook something I suppose

It would be nice for Lore to get a medal because Felix already has one

That's true, spread them around a bit.

Felix has been around ages , How can he still only be 23?

Was that woman knitting?

Is it like the guillotine? A Tricoteuse?

I think Felix played in the 1924 Paris Olympics

She must be a Mumsnetter

Oh it's Amelie

Aurélie not Amelie

I think he probably did!

Very screechy late call

We've had this confusion before I think it was my fault

What's all the talking we can hear?
