I'm watching the England Women hammering the Sri Lankans in the Rugby 7s at the moment. It's one of the sports I would never normally watch, but will watch it now because it's part of the Games.

Which sports do you watch in the Games tat you wouldn't normally and which events are you particularly looking forward to.

Final score: England 57-0 Sri Lanka

On the flip side of that coin, England's men are getting humped by Samoa.

England 0-34 Samoa

Absolute scenes at the Bowls. England 16-8 down to Wales, come back and drawn level at 16 all.

Great come back, but it's Gold for Wales.

Fantastic show of support for Eilish McColgan from the English crowd tonight. Really spurred her on to win Gold. Reminded me of the time when we went to Hampden eight years ago and all the Scots were shouting for Jo Pavey. Smile

And wasn't it nice to see Eilish's mum again? Big smiles all around. Big Grin

I've been watching quite a lot of the hockey.

Geraint Thomas made hard work of winning a medal after his early fall, but still won Bronze. Could have been Gold wthout the fall.

And you can win Commonwealth Gold at 72 years old, thanks to bowling. There's still hope for me!!! Laugh
