Didn't know windsurfing was being dropped as an event, shame that. Kite foiling is replacing it though and those things are mentally fast.

Just watched his tantrums today. Not a gallant loser. Then again I always felt he was arrogant and unpleasant.
Deserved all he got today.
They were doing that in the river in Perth last time we were out there. Proper adrenaline stuff, especially when you know there are bull sharks circling for any mistakes you might make

This.
I could also be annoyed with Murray for going there not fully fit and denying someone else a go. Ditto Asher Smith.

Why do we not have a GB men's football team ?
They just had the BMX freestyle heats on BBC so I guess they’ll be on iplayer somewhere.
You have to respect a sport where one of the moves is called ‘Suicide’.
Politics between the home nations respective FAs. They relinquished for London 2012 but then reverted to form in Rio.

Someone else replaced Murray - an Australian though.
Which medal events are on overnight for GB this evening?

Yeah my mate just texted and I missed it I'll have a look on I player cheers.
Do still love watching bmx, have an old one in my kitchen at the moment ha ha.
Men's 4x100 medley in the swimming, possibly gold but the others will be hurting
Ben Proud in the 50 free possible medal but he doesn't seem 100% so unlikely

Been up everynight so far and it's taking it's toll. Think I'll sleep through tonight.
In all likelihood, Asher-Smith wouldn't have been replaced, we'd have gone with two athletes in each of her events.
As mentioned, Murray was replaced in the draw by an Australian. We'd already selected Broady as reserve for Evans, Kyle Edmund is injured and Cameron Norrie turned down a place in order to concentrate on ATP tournaments. Our next highest ranked player is Jack Draper who's outside the word top 250 and probably wouldn't be highly enough ranked to get a place.

Probably mentioned earlier but Rory McIlroy playing for Ireland is a bit dodgy when he’s grown up with millions of quid being from Northern Ireland

no different to countless footballers?
A lot of the Irish boxers are Northern Irish.

Just curious young Arkre, he’s a golfer not a boxer. His choice, just curious as he’s been from Northen Ireland for. Long time
