Nice triathlon! More generally I’m really enjoying the mixed relays in all sports. It adds an extra layer of complexity and tactics as well as feeling inclusive.

In the swimming where theres no set order so men race women on legs so gaps yoyo makes really interesting viewing

Lindemann definitely owes Knibb a beer or two - she was done a massive favour on the bike leg!

I frequently make the (hilarious) joke to my fiancee that it's no wonder the tower looks like it's falling to bits if they've chopped loads of it out for the medals.

Oh how she laughs, every single time.

Swimmers/rowers/sailors better be careful with their medals - wouldn't want them to rust!

So discounting the iron from the tower and the gold medal is 99% silver.

And I always thought bronze was copper and tin and that copper and zinc was brass*

So the gold medal is silver, and the bronze medal is brass. But the silver medal is silver.

No see you've got this all wrong.

Gold = Adamantium
Silver = Unobtanium
Bronze = Duranium

HTH.

I’ve given up on the BBC coverage. Watching on Eurosport now.

Can’t believe Hassan is doing 5000 metres, 10,000 metres and the marathon!

Same here - I said to my wife “they don't half waffle on” and switched to Eurosport. I was also able to flick between the track cycling and athletics to see races in both.

The problem for dear old bbc is they no longer have the full rights so have to waffle to fill time.
