Can the BBC not show every race - no Men's 400m semis shown (yet). Maybe tactical but Matt Hudson-Smith only 3rd or 4th fastest Had it on the radio and it sounded like he almost walked the last 50m. I think he's capable of something really special tomorrow...

Kerr They both missed the guy on the onside! Norwegian should have blocked him off! Kerr was lucky to get silver, another step and it would have been bronze!

Poor Ingebrigtsen, getting beaten by THREE inferior athletes! Hopefully he'll learn to shut up now. Amazing talent, but the brain of a turnip.

The medals are drying up a bit I'll settle for i Gold.
Go Matt, but the Americans have a habit of sticking their nose in.
Just for a few seconds in the home lane it looked as if Josh had it
If all the hype is to be believed Ingebrigsten probably had a bit of a smile on his face - had he not moved out to try and block Josh then Hocker would not have gotten through on the inside.
My initial reaction was that Josh had only won the Bronze.
Lewis Robinson unfortunate to get beaten in light-middleweight boxing on 3-2 split decision.
I wouldn't have a clue about it but the commentators seemed to think he had won it - but then they're British.

Great victory for Cole Hocker at the Stade De France.
What a naive performance by Ingebrigtsen.

GB narrowly beaten by the USA in the women's team pursuit. This exposes one of the flaws of Gracenote's analysis for their Virtual Medal Table. GB has the recent pedigree in terms of winning championships, which is why they were predicted to win gold, but I expect they haven't taken personnel into account at all and despite a very good performance, the absence of Katie Archibald is huge.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the two British male climbers qualify for the final, Hamish & Toby are looking good, and only country with two in the final! That 5000m qualification was a mess when Mills got taken out and then took 3 other runners out, but think they were re-instated?

So many near misses for gold medals in this Olympics. The men's team pursuit last night, Matt Hudson-Smith setting a new European record and still missing out, Amber Rutter screwed out of gold by a blind referee, Tommy Fleetwood in the golf, the tight finish in the triathlon relay, Peaty pipped by the narrowest of margins. Looks like GB will end up lower on the medal table than in previous games despite another good performance overall. Interesting that Gracenote bases its virtual medal table on total medals rather than golds, based on the theory that the National Olympic Committees do the same. When you get the near misses we've had in this Olympics, you can see why.

Both sprint relay teams through to the final. The women won their heat and were 2nd fastest overall behind the USA.
The men were 3rd in their heat behind USA and South Africa but their time was quicker than the winning time in the other heat. Jamaica out.
