Proud of Djokovic for putting himself first and focusing on his shoulder health.
Yeah I can totally see that too and also don’t like when it’s an exaggerated overreaction. You want your athletes to be disappointed when they don’t win because I think that’s the mindset you need to be at the top, but I’d still expect them to go over and give a small acknowledgment quicker than they did.Completely take your points. For me, in an individual event, the 'self' comes before the team/ nation. Particularly when you're duking it out for the tag of fastest woman alive, as SAFP and ETF were. Think it's very hard to vye for such a mantle and then flick a switch seconds after it's over and hug for the cameras. Particularly if there was a bit of animosity between the two, as it appears there was in this instance.
I think I'm just cynical, but I almost find it a bit artificial when athletes show each other so much love at the end of a race! I feel for them too as they probably feel the pressure to appear gracious in defeat, particulalry when competing against a compatriot, when their immediate, internal reaction is likely very different. So seeing a bit of needle felt quite refreshing and human, in a weird way!
It was on BBC One earlier, this is about the best I could find but only shows the British riders.I'd like to see that, if you're watching on the BBBC what section is it included in?
their times have been consistent through the years. AFAIK Joyner went from fairly average to elite in a very short time which is suspicious.I really want to believe ETH ran that clean.
Ah that's probably what I found then, it just showing the British riders. Hopefully they show all the final, I'd have liked to see what they did as they got over 90 points, and the British riders were impressive enough and didn't score in the 90s.It was on BBC One earlier, this is about the best I could find but only shows the British riders.

The distance of that gap for the jump she does after coming down the scary huge looking ramp I'd like to see the big ramp and half pipe events as well, bet they're excitingI'd never heard of Sky Brown before a few days ago but it seems that at 13 she's pretty famous already and there's an industry around her that I don't think even any of the senior athletes in team GB seem to have. Her dad is British and her mum Japanese but has mostly been raised in the US. It seems that all 3 nations were trying to get her to represent them. She's already been on the junior version of the US Strictly Come Dancing and has even released a song. I watched the below interview with her and it's striking just how young she is.
Most of the videos on youtube are posted on her own YT channel which has 300k subscribers. You have to wonder if all this exposure and pressure at her age is a positive thing.
She's got guts though

Thank you! Off to bed now but will watch it tomorrow, wish they would upload all the clips by sport, some have their own clip eg the triathlon but it would be so much easier if we could watch by sport if watching backTry about 1hr 29 into this on iplayer https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000yh3b

Excellent performance to get back on smash a never seen before trick out the park after falling on it the first time round.Anyone up watching the BMX Freestyle? Charlotte Worthington has just absolutely smashed her second run, having fallen on the first. Has pushed the American - who had a near perfect 96/99 run - into second place with a mad score of 97/99.
The American gets a second crack any minute now, but has to somehow do even better.
This is the shit worth being awake for and writing off my Sunday morning.
edit: and the American has bottled it! Unreal scenes!
That was unbelievable. 2 golds and a silver in BMX so far for Britain.Anyone up watching the BMX Freestyle?

Our govenment funds swimming in this nation and pretty much every kid learns how to do it at school, then go to the beach.Wow Australia barely won the 4 x100 medley. Are Australians born swimming? They're so good !
Nice..here comes the guys. The US has never lost.Our govenment funds swimming in this nation and pretty much every kid learns how to do it at school, then go to the beach.
Booyah !And still hasn’t

Peaty is truly exceptional.

What's wrong with Sabbatini? I am quite drunk and keep confusing him with Mcllroy when the commentators say "Rory", so I hope he does poorly for that reason.For the love of god, will someone please make some putts so Rory Sabbatini doesnt medal
I think they obviously gave the Russian credit for coming forward and forcing the issue in R1 but it was still a bit farcical. What scoring shots did he have exactly? Whittaker certainly outscored him. He didn't really land much in the last round.Ben Whittaker about to get robbed in the boxing semi final, comfortably won the first round when the Russian couldn't land a glove on him yet lost it 3-2, won the 2nd 4-1 but the Russian has come back in the 3rd and will take it.
EDIT: Somehow got across the line, no idea how he scored better in the 3rd than the 1st.
