She was the spitting image of Mrs Brown.
Lauren getting hers has been my highlight, she's quite the sportswoman.
Part of a big crash round two so only scrored 16 points..
Fucked up in the elimination race which pretty much fucked it for her..
Won the other two events out of the four

Anything else to play for today or is that it?
Been one of my favourite Olympics this. The timings and WFH have worked a treat and there's been some great stories to be had. My eyes are sore.

She's still a national treasure so we can forgive her one mistake.

It has been excellent, mind. Real shame about the lack of crowds, but such is life.
Roll on Paris.
She said she was tired in the elimination race and as soon as she started she had nothing in the tank.
Brilliant to equal 65 medals from 2012 and an almost perfect spread of gold, silver & bronze 22 21 22.

Very good performance to match the London medal count especially with a smaller team and some sports such as rowing going through a rebuilding phase.

And when you factor in covid it's a hell of an achievement

I agree, although when Asher smith went out of 100m I seriously thought we could leave without a single individual medal.
I’m reality we have genuine medal contenders in Asher Smith, KJT, Bradshaw, Reekie, Hodgkinson, Muir and Kerr.
I was really disappointed with the men’s 800m. I thought Giles and Rowden would at least make the final. But we have 2 or 3 youngsters coming through in that event to compete with them.
Weightman was disappointing in the 1500 final too.
I wonder if there will be a bit of an inquest anyway - so many injuries, even before you talk about the false starts in the 100m.

Athletics is probably the hardest sport to win golds as there is so much competition and there is little advantage to be gained from spending a lot of money on advanced equipment.
GB athletics should do better in Paris, just this Olympic cycle saw some previous big names retire and others not quite ready.

Midday UK time though I suspect that it will be a modest affair as most of the competitors have already returned home as they weren't allowed to hang around the village like they normally do.
