    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

            Hayden gives McCullough his flowers for helping on the bike. And dropped an F bomb on live TV. And congratulates Yee. Awesome

                    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.

                                  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.

                                    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

                                        The British guy had a huge last ride and was a little unlucky not to get a higher score. But the Argentinian got massive air.

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

                                          Then the blokes kick it up a million notches

                                          Great BMX finals

                                          The British guy had a huge last ride and was a little unlucky not to get a higher score. But the Argentinian got massive air.
