True and patriotic Brit, Andy Murray (and the other one), win again in the tennis and reach the quarter finals.

Looks like the Seine has a “Thames Trout” equivalent.

Good success in the Triathlon today, someone at work said our swimmers are more used to swimming in the brown stuff so have an unfair advantage, and Thames Water can claim their part in our success :D

The New Zealander fell away as much as Yee put his foot down. Great watch, regardless.

Not impressed either. We get better at the annual boardin' awards.

Shame the boxing is somewhat overshadowed by the row in the women's competition about boxers who have failed sex tests being allowed to compete.

Italy's Angela Carini called a stop to her fight after 45 seconds against Algeria's Imane Khelif, with a suspected broken nose.

Disgraceful from the IOC.

To be fair, in this instance the Algerian boxer isn't transgender. She was born a woman, with female genitals, but has a rare medical condition that results in increased levels of testosterone and XY chromosomes.

According to Sharron Davies, Imane Khelif is biologically male.

Not sure how much of the "science" is contested/open to interpretation but the most important thing is the safety of competitors in physical encounters such as this, and more than one of her opponents said they thought they were going to get seriously hurt. The Algerian boxer had already been banned from other competitions for failing gender-eligibility tests.

Of all the sports added recently, BMX is a great addition and very exciting, both the racing and the freestyle.

Agree about Shriever, who blew her opponents away in the heats, she seemed to just be able to pedal faster than the others, though there's obviously a lot more to it than that. I think there were better opponents in the other heats but she looks like a gold medal in the waiting and good luck to her.
