    Aarghhh!!

    Wilde climbing stairs at the end.

    He just needed to have one more little surge to disillusion Yee's chase.

    Wonder why Yee let him get so far ahead.

    Maybe Yee was sticking to his own race strategy? With about a km to go he looked cooked. Fuck bloody

        The commentators said Wilde flew his family over. They have never seen him race overseas. Pretty awesome

          That's what the 'Lympics is about.

          Hugging each other at the end, great mates apparently

                      As he said, he was happy it was a fair fight for he and Yee. No excuses, the best man won

                        Amazing 10 mins for GB.

                        Yee overtakes Wilde in the last 100 metres (boooo....) and then they overtook the Netherlands rowers in literally the last metre.

                        Gutted for Wilde, he looks like he had that completely under control.

                                That was a bit gutting. I feel for Wilde but from the looks of it he left it all out there on the run. Can't feel too bad for him.

                                Huge effort.

                                Probably expended a bit more on the cycle leg, but he put himself in a position to win gold and Yee had that little bit extra on the run.

                                    The distance which separates the Women's BMX and Women's skateboard is absolutely massive

                                    Then the blokes kick it up a million notches

                                      An absolutely awesome Silver for Hamish Wilde and he deserves the Coubertin Medal for his sportsmanship at the end there.

                                      Also a word for Alex Yee whose only fault in life is not being a Kiwi.

                                        First gold medal for Guatemala and new Olympics record

                                        Why the fuck is there a constant barrage of dance music whilst the ladies are shooting?

                                        Madness. And so annoying.

                                          Watching the women's Trap shooting

                                          First gold medal for Guatemala and new Olympics record

                                          Why the fuck is there a constant barrage of dance music whilst the ladies are shooting?

                                          Madness. And so annoying.

                                          Did you see some shooters earlier in the week, they wore what looked like leather motorcycle style outfits in the colours of their respective countries during competition. Weird
