Well done the Norwegian that was a gutsy win well deserved.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Crazy level of fitness this. Amazing stuff.
That was one heck of a last mile by Blummenfelt, surprised Lee couldn’t finish it off given his running skills.
Disappointed for Van Riel; 6th in Rio and now 4th
hopefully mixed relay will finally be a medal.

I ran 3 miles tonight, took me a mile of walking to catch my breath… he looks like he’s strolled to the shops

Didn’t see the start live, BBC just showed it. A big boat in the way of half the athletes as they were waiting to dive in, so a false start.
Five years to prepare…

Blummenfeld's kick took Yee by surprise, who may have been more concerned about the New Zealander snatching silver from him. He probably might have been able to force the pace a bit more.
Still, a silver medal in your first games is pretty amazing.

Anyone any idea why the women's Street skate is so much worse than the men's? Men were scoring over 9 yesterday on the best trick section, the women are doing pretty straight forward tricks for some reason. For anyone that watches skating more often, would you expect some proper tricks once it gets to the final.
Since when did we start picking up golds at the summer olympics? 
Have you ever been to a skatepark? There’s your answer.
I watched the some of the men's heat yesterday and final, they definitely pulled out their best tricks and upped their game in the final, with the last 8.
Don't think there was any 9s, maybe 1 or 2 during the heats. Unlike in the finals.
So I suppose it goes the same way for the women's.
Makes sense, flicked it on as I enjoyed the men's yesterday, and then saw scores of 2 being applauded as something special, was confused as anything. Will likely flick it back on for the final if I'm still awake
Weird that they would applaud 2s though
I'd also be confused.Going to try fall asleep again, and try wake up for the Djokovic match in about 2 hours.
The biggest plus so far for me is having access to pretty much whatever you want as what isn't on TV is streamed free. Being able to watch water polo in 1080 HD on TV is a major upgrade and makes it so much better to watch. Most pointless sport so far is skateboarding.
Adam Peaty is a beast
Damnit Titmus is good.
Her coach does a good line in celebration as well

Yeah, totally bizarre race. She wasn’t the only one with no idea Kieserhofer had already won. A bunch of riders were congratulating van Vleuten. How the hell does half the peloton not realize she was still up the road? At any rate, it was a great ride by Kieserhofer and a well deserved victory.
Dude definitely had some nose candy
He was pumped up alright.I like Ledecky but it’s good to see someone else take gold for a change.
Ledecky dethroned
Also great men's 4×100 fs relay. Silver!
Now Doncic is doing...things....to argentina

Pidcock on course for gold imo. Such a shame for Van der Poel
Come on Tom Daley & Matty Lee, fingers crossed they don't do anything stupid on the last dive would be great if they can get gold especially against China
The Cross country BMX looks exciting I'll be switching to that after the diving if still on

What a dive!
Flückiger with a costly mistake, think he overplayed his hand trying to keep up with Pidcock.
Broke his collarbone five fecking weeks ago and is on his way to Olympic gold in mountainbiking right now. What a legend already.

That was a 10
Justice for China

Will he be doing the time trial?Pidcock on course for gold imo. Such a shame for Van der Poel
Impressive diving this morning. I don't read the sport at all well, but even I could see those last dives by GB and China were exceptional.
No he's done after this, not a TT specialist and focused solely on the MTB race. TT will be between Ganna, Dennis and Van Aert imo, with Roglic, Küng and Evenepoel maybe as outsiders.
He has quit just now, real shame. At least it was his own mistake and not because of someone else, only has himself to blame.
Well done Daley and Lee!
Shame. In hindsight should have just stayed at the tour, could’ve had a fun final week.
Fantastic achievement by Daley and Lee as China are usually untouchable, they were miles clear in the women's yesterday
Come on Tom Pidcock!
Will have to watch Adam Peaty on catch up
Wish they'd stop changing the channels

Pleased for Daly as he was almost a “nearly man” at the Olympics. Those bronzes hurt him.
Why aren’t we lobbying for the whole Olympics to be under water?
Pidcock is some rider.
He just snatched someones flag
Runs a 5k under 15 minutes, rivals Van Aert and Van der Poel both in cyclocross and on the road and now wins Olympic gold in MTB. 21 years old, some athlete.
If you're getting good odds on him getting top 3 at the Vuelta next month, don't hesitate.

It’s mad that he’s constantly overlooked for SPOTY.
Pleased for Pidcock. He looked the strongest MTB rider just before his injury so it's nice that hasn't ruined his quest for gold here. Not to forget this is only his side gig, once he starts riding a full season on the road in the coming years, he's going to be a contender pretty much anywhere that isn't too flat.
I only follow 3 sports - Football, Cricket, Snooker. Two of which aren't in the Olympics.
I don't have an interest in any other sport and so, if it's a sport I don't care about at all, then I also don't care who wins it, or if that person represents GB or not. So I only really watch the (mens) Football at the Olympics. Certainly in the early stages. I find some of the track events watchable for a bit - mainly the shorter running events - so I tend to watch some of those later in the Olympics. But, by and large, the vast part of each Olympics just pass me by while I focus on the Cricket and United's summer transfers / friendlies.
