Anyone catch the kayak cross? It’s absolutely carnage, I have no idea what is going on and I am loving it!😂🙈

Unpopular opinion but I don’t get the hype over Stephen the gymnast, all I can see is the son off American Dad 😬

Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce has pulled out of the 100m.

Dina Asher-Smith has also failed to qualify - she came 5th in the semi-final :(

I don’t know why Dina expected to get in the final, it’s literally the worlds fastest women. Her ego got in the way, she thought she could cruise through.
So sad about Shelley-Ann.

I was saying to Mr Nymeria just after the face, I feel like Dina has dropped off a bit in recent years. When it comes to the big races like the Olympics I don’t think of Dina as a contender anymore

She said she felt she was in great shape but as Michael Johnson pointed out, she hasn't run a PB for a while. From what I can see she last acheived it in 2022. The 100m is jam packed full of incredible athletes - she needs a PB to be up there with the best of them imo.
 
I always think this. I also find her quite passive aggressive in interviews!
Was this Dina Asher-Smith, I wasn’t watching? I found her interview yesterday after the first round really awkward. She was asked “And how are you feeling?” (interviewer no doubt expecting a standard answer like I’m feeling strong / training has been going well / I’m going to get out there and enjoy myself) and she just said:

“Good”

Like, play the game a bit love 😂

That’s all three big Jamaican names not competing in the women’s 100m. A big shame, Clayton looks great and confident for her age.

Rooting for Alfred to pick up St Lucia’s first ever medal.

I thought she came off as quite arrogant in her interview just now.
I love Michael Jordans view when asked if he was shocked she was tit...I'm not surprised!

He mentioned since 2019. Five years should tell you the best has gone

The eurosport/discovery+ coverage is so superior to the BBC, the constant cut backs to the studio or interviews when there are events happening that they could have been showing was doing my head in.

I have Discovery+ and it’s mega. If the Beeb are showing it I’d rather watch with them, their commentary is better but also supremely comforting to me as they’ve been narrating the greatest show on earth, what seems like, all my life.
