Louis Smith is very good on gymnastics.
Mo Sbihi knows his rowing stuff, but is maybe a little pessimistic for the BBC (a.k.a. realistic).

Brit completely messes up trying to take out the Aussie but gets lucky in being upgraded to a medal in the kayak cross.

And the Brit top seed in the men has to settle for second.

Matthew Pinsent looking like Mark Francois on steroids

UK women just set a new world record in the team sprint.
It will probably last about 5 minutes
Or not. Faster than the Germans.

Finucane looking superb.

She'd already won a bronze, so maybe went "all-in" to win.

Well it survives the Germans!

Not that I'm into fashion, but the GB kit looks superb!

And the Chinese.

Chinese didn't look great, false start and then only 5th fastest.

Not a great start for the GB women's hockey team.

Everything is an olympic sport now. 3 x3 basketball included.

That was in last time too. I still have no idea why it is in or how it works.
Looking forward to breaking making its debut - could be the most cringey thing ever to happen in the Olympics. More even than horses dancing to music.

Team pursuit going well……

Quite a marker to lay down

Noticed Bigham is now on a Lotus bike, earlier in the year I'm virtually sure he wasn't.
Interested to see what Italy can do.
Presumably they will be one of the last, if not the last to go, so will they aim at a time to be 2nd quickest I wonder, or too risky.

Aussies on a good one.

Looks like GB will be riding for a bronze at best.

Crazy pace by the Danes

Seem to be dying a bit now though.

Lesson in how not to do it in the end.

Italians have a bit of a shocker too, GB second quickest in the end.

Aussies fastest and GB second quickest.
Surprised by both Denmark and Italy’s relatively poor showings.

Apologies for not having done my homework, but how do things go now? QF, semi and final, or 1st vs 8th etc. with fastest two from this round into the gold medal race? Thanks!

Top 4 can only race for gold, 5-8 can ride for bronze.
Yes, I assume it will be fastest vs slowest on times, as usual.
Round 1 tomorrow with the placing and medal races on Wednesday.

Top 3 in Team Sprint covered by a bare handful of hundredths. NZ and GB to ride for gold; GB fastest by very little indeed.

GB & NZ for gold. Germany can only get bronze.

What do you think might be discussed on a Cakestop thread called Olympics 2024?
