Great bronze medal there by the women's 4 to oust GB for the bronze. Congrats.
Moving the Brits into 4th upgrades it in my books.

Deserves a Gold for that alone

National hero for a lifetime that, putting the brits off the podium.

Kurt Walker has had a huge win againt the Uzbek. The Uzbek was world champion and favourite for gold. i didn't see it but Walker surely has a good chance for a medal now.

The lightweight mens pair in the rowing also got into their final easily and look likely medalists from that.

Some crying by the Uzbek crowd on twitter. Shouting that it was a robbery.  I havent watched it myself but fair play to the lad.  he must have put a great performance in. From Lisburn i believe.

Belfast's Rebecca Shorten was in the GB boat.  Obviously disappointed, but she was a wee bit ungracious interview on BBC NI.

Great to see, any chance someone could post a link to the race.  RTE have it but us in the occupied 6 can't view it.  Bit searching there on YouTube but no luck

It's great to hear the Belfast/Lisburn accents in the green vests.
