Comedy hour at the men’s 5000m heats.

Just wanted a close up

… as he was heading towards the javelins

He was showing off his multitasking...

Tamsyn had a heart attack

How's the high jumper
Clears the 2.27? Lands with a cramp Then wonders off and all of a sudden gets back to where other athletes are waiting and starts limping as if he remembers he had a cramp....
Must've played soccer as a kid

Didn’t recognise Tamberi without his half beard.

Honestly the 800m Spaniard thought he won the gold

Opals went on with the job and flogged the Serbs. Will play Nigeria or the USA next

Yep.

Played well all game and I thought their shot selection was great.

Arisa Trew what a little legend.
Not a fan of skateboarding but wow she absolutely nailed her run.

[Jim05]

About to win another Gold
Looks like sailing will be called off tonight with Matt Wearn in the lead so will retain his Olympic Gold

[Jim05]

Sailing abandoned due to lack of wind with only 1 leg to go.
The Aussie had the Gold wrapped up but now has to start again tomorrow

Wins the last race to take gold.

4x Golds overnight in the best ever day for Australia at an Olympics
Now our highest Gold medal tally for an Olympics too

[Wedgie]

Got to be proud the way we punch above our weight, to have this many golds for a country our size is incredible.

Nina Kennedy is a genuine superstar, first female field gold medalist.

And the athlete that took us to 18 golds!

I thought Nigeria would steal it but, unusually, no...............

And called Tony Jones "Chompers" after her interview - gave me a laugh

Tom Craig is extremely lucky that he’s in Paris and not Jakarta, but even that moment of monumental stupidity won’t detract from an amazing effort by the Aussies so far in Paris.

Is "track and field" really distinguishable though?
Glynnis Nunn won the heptathlon in 1984 wich had more "field" than "track" depending on how you treat the jumps events.

(Genuinely curious, not an expert)

Just qualified as a solicitor?

Oh merde!

Yeah, track is running, field is jumping/throwing. Each is quite protective of their relevant status, too.

Not sure what category the multi events come under, Google says "track and field event", so from a technical POV, it's our first true female field gold.
