And I said that about Andy Murray in the car today. Plagiarist. 

It had to be said.

Don’t know anything about Dina Asher-Smith so I’ll only add that anyone getting anywhere near Olympic level has put a ton of blood, sweat and tears in to get there.

The one that disappointed me was Novak Djokovic, he loses in his singles semi and instead of completing the doubles to give his partner a chance of a medal he withdraws!! Unless he is injured, that’s a heartless move!!

Another gold for GB in the kids bike freestyle.

We have a 7 man play off for the bronze medal in the Golf. I'm watching it, but still not sure how it works. 

---

Got it now. A group of 4, followed by a group of 3, all playing the 18th.
First 4 all got Par. Casey in the 2nd group got a bogey and he's out.

---

Matsuyama out as well.

---

Par for McIlroy though, so 5 players go onto the next hole.
This would be exciting if it were for the Gold. 

---

All 5 par the hole and on we go to the next.

---

All in one group now.

---

And then there were two. Pan and Morikawa make Birdies.

Just watching the golf play off for the bronze medal started as a 7 man event now down to two, been entertaining only the introduction of summary execution for those eliminated would improve it

[Lord Snooty]

This is the first ever 7 player play off in the history of Golf. I would imagine it's the first ever play off for 3rd place as well.

Pan Pan the Taipei man wins it.

[Amelia Chaffinch]

What's summary execution, maclad?

[themaclad]

Lose and your executed by summary

[Amelia Chaffinch]

Thanks, maclad. I asked Snoots and he was useless. 

[Lord Snooty]

It's not a golfing term that I'm familiar with.

An Italian called Jacobs wins the men's 100m.

Never heard of him before.

An Italian won the High Jump as well. It's been a cracking summer for the old eye ties.
