This article on the men's triathlon race yesterday is excellent:

I'm in love with the Turkish shooter, Yusef Dikec. I want him to be my husband.

[Rosa]

He’s very cool!

I’m watching the rowing (while working-ish).

[lazzbo]

Can't believe Swiatek got knocked out! Good work from Joe in the canoeing. Looking forward to his final, the gymastics, Andy and Dan (although really I just feel sick) and then the swimming. Now Nadalcaraz is out, I can give 100% of myself to our boys in the tennis. :))

The one I want to be my husband is Mark Foster. Unlikely for more than one reason, I know, but a girl can dream.

Zheng is always dangerous. I was delighted for her.
I'm also rooting for MurEvans now NadAlcaraz is out, and I'm surprised by how well Dan Evans in particular is playing.
I won't get to watch all the women's individual gymnastics this evening as I have yoga class soon but its always nice to watch....

[Rosa]

The gymnasts' leotards seem particularly sparkly this Olympics!

[Disco]

I want Simone to win. Come on!

Well, I want our women to win but.

You'll have to fight me for him Is! I always forget just how easy on the eye he is until I see him again! Although I have noticed that his trousers seem unnecessarily tight this Olympics, although that might be just an unfortunate camera angle.

Thank you for that article Lazz, that was a good read.

I really want a sparkly leotard and I would wear it to the office.

This article about the sponsorship of the Italian gymnasts by the Parmesan consortium is also a fun read:

Oof, that was an epic fight in the all-around!

[Disco]

Amazing.

[Rosa]

So good!

[Rosa]

Now I'm going to have to juggle swimming and tennis. Not a good start from Murray and Evans.

[kiwi]

I'm not a big tennis fan but I shed a little tear there for Andy.

Tomorrow, athletics!

[sally maclennane]

Andy :cry:

[Estrella]

MrE declared that he wants to be him.

[lazzbo]

Andy :cry:

This. I will miss him so. :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Turtle Bean]

Aw, Andy. :cry:

The Americans are nice respectful boys aren't they?

It was lovely that they stepped back and let him have his moment. Oh, Andy :cry:.
