Dinghy races delayed because yep you've guessed it.......lack of wind.

Oh this is definitely a must have in the next Olympics

Sky Brown set to go in the Skateboarding Park Final.

The likelihood of someone falling off their Skateboard is directly proportional to the volume of Ed Leigh's voice.

Major cock-up in the Velodrome with the Canadian Women's Pursuit Team getting the last lap bell on the wrong lap

Sky Brown guaranteed a medal.

And it's a repeat BRONZE for her.
Excellent performance.

Pesky Aussies win another Gold. Booooo!!

Also are they planning to use her in the 400m relay races or isn't her 400 times fast enough.

She was not selected to run the 1500m for GB and her focus was on the 800m anyway. In theory she could have jogged round if selected to do both the 800 and 1500 but in practice it was never going to happen. Her sole focus was the 800m.
As for the relays I have no idea what the plans are for that although the relay squad does not have her included.

That would have shades of Tokyo 1991 if she did, but I'm thinking the Netherlands using Femke Bol on the anchor leg like they did the other day, would probably have too much for Keeley to rein in. I'm sure they used Schippers similarly once, but can't be sure.

GB Women's Pursuit Team on track and the BBC are showing re-runs from earlier....err ok.

Mens team sprint team performed very well against Germany just now.

Powerhouse Dutch overhaul the British time with a new world record.

It's a guaranteed silver for GB.
But the Dutch look way too strong. Harrie Lavreysen is just ridiculous.
