Hope so.

They've never finished below 4th... except for boycotting Los Angeles 1984... and some think they shouldn't even be here.

We haven’t finished below 4th in a while.  If the rowers had bothered their arse we’d be a comfortable 3rd.

I am amazed at the synchronised swimming tbh - no idea how they stay underwater so long or how they are so in time. It’s not something I have ever watched before but it’s something else.

Saw it live at Scotstoun during Euro Champs in 2018. Not brilliant live but amazing technique.

Their cyclists rate ok, our marathoners presumably no chance; that aside if they win handball + gymnastics we need both cycling + boxing... they win either we need 2 of 3... they win neither we need 1.

I think that's pretty unfair on the rowers - 6 fourth places shows there is talent there.

Only 8 rowers were there from Rio - that's a huge number of rowers debuting here.

If they do badly in Paris then it's s different matter.

Still a great effort compared with finishing 36th at Atlanta 96 with 1 gold (in rowing ironically).

Am I going to stay up for another hour and  a half to watch the marathon? Probably.

The marathon is weirdly addictive.  It's just skinny c***s running for two hours.  Enjoying the commentary too, the clueless bloke telling us all how clueless he is and Radcliffe basically just laughing at him.
