Wouldn’t be surprised to see the Yurchenko double pike come back again for the Indy

Milak might be the spanner in the works for the Leon Marchand ascension party. If Marchand manages to beat that, then there'll be no doubt he's really the new Phelps
also Pan looks terrifying in the 100m free. Showed up in unreal condition

Murray and Evans looking good against the Belgians, taking the first set.
Come on Wiffen
Hon Wiffen. This is so close.
Think this is Finke's to lose from here
Ireland win gold
Great race in the 800m
What a performance from Wiffen
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
Holy feck that was exciting
That was brilliant!
Finke waited 25 meters too long to accelerate
Huge swim by Wiffen
Another medal for our Greg

Some swim from Wiffen that.
The Eurosport swimming commentator is awful.
Those last 2 or 3 lengths were really exciting. Not usually a fan of the 800, but that was amazing to watch.
Can someone fill me in how it's possible that you can represent one country at the Olympics and another one at the Commonwealth games?
The American swimming commentator needs to be taken off. Ridiculous.
Wiffen doing the 1500m and open water too!
That was pretty dominant from Wiffen, broke the italian in the last 75, and when Finke accelerated had extra to spare to start opening the gap on him again at the end. Felt like he was in his own race and knew he had enough with the pace he set.
Thank you. Abysmal. Also peacock cut to ads in the middle of the race. I’m going to make a Twitter account just to trash them
“Wiffen throws a strike that garners him gold in Paris!”
What the feck does that even mean? He is the absolute worst. Zero chemistry with the Australian co-commentator too.
Ireland aren’t in the commonwealth and Northern Ireland are?
Does Wiffens gold count for Team GB?
No!
Yes mate.
I got that far, just would've thought that you can only represent one country in general, so maybe thought it was some special Ireland - UK thing or something.
We could try and claim it but I think it might breach the Good Friday Agreement
I jest. What a swim from him though. Strategy executed to perfection.
Claire Balding said he’s entered the open water despite never racing that distance before. Fair play.

Yeah we're stuck with him though if we want to watch it live as BBC can't show half of this stuff.

Northern Irish athletes can choose either Ireland or GB in the olympics. There's a deal between the countries.
On Eurosport? You can change the commentary to basically any other language.
I don't seem to be missing much in the pool on the BBC these last few evenings?
Oh okay, didn't know about that at all. Cheers.
Unbelievable effort. He didn’t kick his legs until the last 100m!
I've got the BBC on and thus far all swimming events tonight have been shown unless the odd non final wasn't?
Keeping a check on the tennis too

Is there no chlorine in the pro pools? It takes me 20 mins to wash that shite off and even then the smell lingers with you for hours afterwards. In and out of the pool all day every day and taking showers in between must be quite miserable.
