Exactly. I was stunned after the first round but then I was even more stunned after the third
2021 Summer Olympics (Tokyo)

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?
Whilst I still thought he won the 3rd, after the scoring of the 1st I've no idea how they thought he performed better in the later round. Thought the 1st was a tactical masterclass, making the Russian swing and miss constantly and getting out of the corner and off the ropes with lovely quick feet.
watching the Boxing and the French fighter has been DQ for using his head, was a decent fight, Clarke has a nasty cut.
Yeah, Whittaker is very easy on the eye, his footwork is effortless. Definitely the pick of the bunch in the GB team.
Clarke and Aliev ends up going to Clarke through a DQ after some head clashes. Seemed like Aliev was pushing his head forcefully and perhaps purposefully into Clarke's. Was clearly warned and subsequently DQ'd.

Two GB men in the boxing final with Yafai and Clarke still to go. McCormack would‘ve preferred to get there another way but 6/11 boxers from the team have won a medal now which could be 7 if Yafai wins his quarters. Still possible for 6 fighters to box in the final. Fantastic performance already.

Just watched those BMX park finals. Brilliant stuff, absolutely terrifying 
That was an amazing final in the bmx park.
They should make olympics a 2 yearly event.
Could do with more packaging though

Bottlejob by Matsuyama means half of the field will be in the play off for the bronze
The BMX was great stuff. That second run was unbelievable.
Whittaker is very slick. He works his jab on the outside very well. He reminds me of James De Gale.
Fair play to Worthington winning that final with a trick never before pulled off by a woman in competition.
Xander takes Men's Golf Gold! From San Diego, mother born in Chinese Taipei and grandparents living in Japan for quite a while. Awesome for him and his family!
This golf playoff is never ending.
Hassan will run the 1500m, 5k and 10k. That's insane. Potential to be the women of the Olympics with that programme.

It totally makes sense that the land of Playstation would give us the first Olympics with events in Tony Hawk and Dave Mirra.
Apparently, Charlotte Worthington is from Chorlton. And she used to work as a chef at La Casita. I've eaten there!
EDIT: Apparently, it was The Beagle. I'd drunk there, but never eaten.

Gold medal for Zverev 
Sabbatini is a dick
Schauffele just had no holes in his game this week. Such a solid tournament for him.
Hopefully he’s able to see his grandparents before he has to go back to the States.
Just came here to say that Charlotte Worthington’s 2nd BMX run was insane.
Brilliant by Whitlock in the Pommel Horse. It'll take something special to take gold away from him.
Do they get only one attempt at it?
Come on Max Whitlock at least get a medal, preferably gold
Have to watch the BMX on iplayer later
Sounds like the golf tournament was exciting

Chills watching Max there.
Yep.
Max could be in trouble here...
Huge win for Slovenia in the basketball.
Max still ahead
Slovenia beats Spain, still unbeaten with Luka, who didn't play well and still went 1 assist from a triple double. In FIBA

Prescod out. Should have been out in the heats itself.
Max has got a medal but 2 highest qualifiers left, come on Max get gold
Aw naw Rhys fell off!
Shame for the Irish guy would have liked to see him get silver
Justice served.
Yeah that's crazy. Risk of spreading herself too thin as she has fierce competition in each of her events - 1500m (Kipyegon and Muir), 5k (all the Ethiopians) and 10k (Gidey, Tsegay). Having said that, a lot will ride on how competitive her heats are. Often the pace is slow enough to mean she can keep her legs fresh and the heat in Tokyo this week as well could force athletes' hands to take it gentler.
Whitlock becomes the goat of the pommel horse.
Glorious work Max.
He put everything on that one routine in this games and he has absolutely nailed it.
Arise, Sir Max.
Arise, Sir Max.
Agree it should now be Sir Max
Irish guy sounds like a weirdo.
