We are trailing the Argies in the race though. We need to beat them by 3 places to get silver. Early days but that will be a struggle from here.

I'm not sure if the BBC coverage I'm watching is live but I'm seeing a good battle between NZ and Argentina for Silver at the moment, albeit in very light winds.

In the end, it was a shame that the GBR team didn't hear the call and go back. That would have given us a chance to chase earlier
@canefan that’s sailing though. It’s not up to the chase boats to tell them they are over. I’ve done plenty of racing in my time in Lasers and if the start gun goes twice it’s the sailors responsibility to go back if they think they are over or risk it and carry on. GBR risked it and lost out. They would have known it was close so that will cost them a medal.

We need to beat them by 3 boats to get silver though. Looks unlikely unless some boats crap out.

Won’t happen from here. Bronze for NZ.

Awesome job, out of all the fleets that was probably one event we weren’t favoured to medal in so awesome.

Heptathlon. Naffisatou Thiam from Belgium just cleared 1.92m in the high jump easily. American Anna Hall is worth keeping an eye on too

I noticed her in the 100 m hurdles. Her teammate Chari Hawkins was in the same heat.

The swiss girl is on fire and in the lead. -8 so far!
Into the water now though.

Just a brain explosion. Great pitch to recover, a foot from the hole
