Matt Countryfile had been to the blue peter school of comms, all shouty shouty and "AMAZING!!"

Clive Woodward is great on the rugby comms. Women's  has been my favourite event so far, felt for GB. Feel like the situation got to them yesterday. |

Did anyone watch the women's 10m diving final.
The pool was completely green - it looked like a dirty river. Rio2016 are going to be making a statement about it unsurprisingly. Definitely wasn't getting passed without it being looked in to.

Bonkers wasn't it? The whole thing has been a logistical nightmare. I was incredibly proud after the 2012 Olympics how well organised it was, I think it was even better after this shambles. |

Agree that the sevens has been very good. Are these players sevens specialists or are they just the best league/union players? I don't watch enough rugby to recognise any names

Great for casual viewers, as there is usually so much action. I never went much on 7 s when I played, but not many props did  1 0s was alright, but definitely preferred full 15 a side. |

Play 15's at club level, but are specialists at 7's at national level. There is basically a 7's world tour that most of them play on for part of the year. Union players only really, but nothing to stop cross coders playing if they have made the leap... |

There was an American guy that came on late in the game before who is a super quick ex NFL player, they were suggesting possible sub 10 sec 100m quick. We Only got a quick glimpse of him but he blew one guy away on the outside for a try, be good to see him get more time in the next game.

Was I the only one who had never heard off "cupping" before these Olympics?
How very odd.
