Just one of the beautiful women on the track this morning - 23-year-old Czech Nikoleta Jichova. She finished fourth in her 400m hurdle repechage heat so we won't see any more of her sadly in this event...

As you imply, Kante is too old now - it would be a short-term signing. Best to look to the future and develop young midfielders than buy Kante (if that story is true), who was top class but is now winding down his career. Same goes for other players 32 and above.

Yeah I agree. It will be good if Flick can do well, but it remains to be seen what will happen. It will be very difficult for sure as Real Madrid are in a good place right now. I hope he can do it anyway, because Madrid are cunts to be honest. I haven't followed La Liga much in several years...

40 million Euros for Gallagher? He might do well but he is just a workhorse.

Fair enough on that season. I am just going by what people were saying (which to be fair, is often not a correct thing to do). I will look up the stats later though I trust you. They did have ups and downs. I never said his entire time was a disaster. Maybe my original phrasing was harsh - I...

It looks good that series of games. I have heard of Inside no.9. Vinland Saga has been on my list for a long time. I actually watched the first couple of episodes of it and the first episode of Severance (as you mention) but never continued. They were very good but other stuff came up. I will...

Yeah I know, but by all accounts the team only just got over the line that season in terms of performances (not points). Didn't they win a lot of games 1-0 and rely on Ter Stegen making many saves? Xavi got found out the following season. Anyway the general consensus seems to be that Xavi...

He ran riot with a throw of about 84 metres lol. Some moustache and mullet too.

haven't been playing that many games recently mate to be honest, but I like stuff like Mario and beat em ups and the Arkham games. To be honest I was more of a gamer in past but I still do play. As for shows, I watch plenty, I have loads I am partway through lol. I like animated shows (Western...

Yeah that is true. Bearing in mind I also have other hobbies like walking, watching films and TV shows, reading, gaming, going down to the cinema etc. Best probably just to stick to the big competitions for the other sports.

Me too - bearing in mind the PED caveat we have been discussing - I am in awe of their performances. I think I will follow future events including the world championship. I haven't really watched swimmin since Rio 2016. I enjoyed it then too so not sure why I didn't maintain my interest. Maybe...

I guess the reason for the early swimming too was - without morning heats they could have an earlier evening session and stop it clashing with the track and field, unlike the last night or two. With morning sessions they couldn't start as early as 6.30 pm local time.

I get the wee face there Loki; I am sad about it too. I am gonna maintain my interest in swimming. There's nothing like the Olympics for swimming and athletics but wanna watch the big competitions still in future.

Americans absolutely hammered it and set a new WR.

35th and final event in the swimming (outside of the open water events). Women's 100 m medley relay.

It takes the shine off it to think lots of them are doping. Some of this stuff is superhuman though and seems too good to be true. Also loads of these swimmers and athletes have sensational bodies that seem like you'd need steroids to achieve. Manadaou is a really big guy, is that achievable...

Yeah I was referring to that performance the other night in mentioning it as well. Like you say I hope he's clean. Apparently he had a go at Jack Alexy and Kyle Chalmers in the Chinese media for apparently 'disrespecting' him and China and Chalmers is now public enemy number 1 in China...

What an amazing race, Pan is a monster.

This must be the first clay court Olympics in many years, is that right?

For fuck sake. I didn't think it would start til half 7 like most other nights. I am a tool lol. I missed a world record too, gutted. Still got the two medley relays. I assume that it started earlier tonight as there is no morning session today.
