Really enjoying the archery. Doesn't matter if GB doesn't win a medal. Surprisingly good TV sport

How are they doing the golf? Is it a full 18 hole course? @Baddar @Meacon

No, it's crazy golf.

I would watch the shit out of it, if it was

Jesus, the end to this rowing

[Robsturgh]

I wasn't able to survive the end of that race. I am dead.

Really nice try to tie it up in the GB vs RSA game, Dan Norton is rapid and he has some moves too. 7-5.

Cubby Boi is bossing the rugby. Doing Wales proud.

They're in the final. Meanwhile, Andy Murray is on the ropes against Fabio Fognini.

I am so so happy for them! 

[MDK]

That was a good performance and we've got Fiji (!) in the final. What I love about these 7's is that its unpredictable. Fiji beat New Zealand, Japan beat France in the quarters.

Not anymore. This Italian guy must be the Spurs of tennis @Lineker @Jimmy

Fiji are the current world champions to be fair, so that wasn't exactly an upset. Still, it'll be their first ever Olympic medal, which is awesome for them. 

The final will be tough, but GB have been tactically superb so far. And it's even more impressive when you consider that most teams just take their normal sevens squad from the world tour, but GB have the added challenge of having a Scot and two Welshies on the team, so there's less squad experience than their competitors.

It is for me because all of the Fijian men I've met all laugh like little girls

Murray done it!

[Bobfoc]

Absolute capitulation from Fognini, but good job from Murray to take advantage.

[MDK]

We'd be much better at archery if we replaced the target with a Frenchman and the bow with a longbow.

[Adam]

Typical Murray that is, lose eight games in a row when the match is all but won then win six in a row to come back from the brink. Steve Johnson up next, if he can get past him he's on for a medal at least.

[Bobfoc]

World record from the British quartet in the Women's Team Pursuit qualifying. I was in the velodrome to see them win gold in 2012 when it was a three-person event, so I really hope they do it again.

[MDK]

Buatsi looking like he might beat this Uzbek fella

And he just dropped him!

This Uzbek thinks he is in Argentina after those two knockdowns! KO!

Jesus, what a right hook

[Bobfoc]

Smashing stuff from the men's sprint team. I believe that's Jason Kenny's fourth gold medal, and he has another two events to go at these Olympics.

[Gazz]

GB men's pursuit team just blooted the field by 3.5 seconds too. 

Standard British dominance of the velodrome.
