A bronze in the eventing to add to the team gold. Seemed right that all the contenders went clear - even if I was kind of willing some horses to misbehave.

Also not great to hear crowds boo at an Olympics

I think they were booing after the race finished? Upset the home guy got beat. It is quite typical though "respect the kicker" in rugby - fat chance in Paris!

Lovely touch to have the horses as part of the medal ceremony

It’s great that they see them as a team
The top 4 looked miles apart from the rest
Looks like Peaty caught covid just before his race

He did say he felt a bit of a "touched his throat" and to be honest I just thought "don't go there Adam". Hope it doesn't spread through the camp...

That’s another great silver for Burgess - the French guy was a bit good though

Always going to be difficult to beat the guy on his home track. He knows exactly how to get the best times, he’s been practicing on it for a few years.

To be fair the French rider said in an interview after that he had no complaints, Pidcock got the racing line and beat him fairly. Was bloody exciting though!

He looked good and did it under pressure. I don't mind that. Better guy won and took fair advantage of home advantage (I'm still bleating about a French judge on the eventing jury)!!
Shame for the GB mens gymnastics missing out on a bronze by 2 points

Great that China didn't win though!

In my mind gymnastics is the 1 sport where even the worst person at the Olympics is awesome at it. It’s just spectacular to watch.
