          US Athletics has announced that Noah Lyles has Covid.

          He ran 19.70 and secured the bronze medal with Covid. He must be a doubt for the relays.

                  Some of the Aussie swimmers competed with COVID, so if he can go he could still race

                        Always good to wake up to 2 more gold medals!! The kerin win was gusty, get to the front on the last lap and back yourself to stay in front all the way was a brave call but a very good one. K4 was excellent, the girls hung in there to stay close enough to the Germans and then timed their run perfectly at the end to pull ahead.

                        Dame Carrington with 6 gold medals (and with the potential of more to come) - what a national treasure she is!!

                          At the end of the third quarter in the men's basketball semi final, it's Serbia 76, USA 63.

                          Can America's illustrious lineup pull this around in the fourth quarter?

                            Tebogo looked great - Lyles might have been struggling but Tebogo looked like he had more to give. Also he gave a really lengthy interview to Sky NZ trackside which most champions wouldn't do! He's a sub 45 400m and sub 10 100m man - can't be many of them. I think he knew that if he was ahead coming into the bend he had the strength from the longer distance to see them off.

                                  Steph Curry and King James stepping up and making it count when it matters. Going to another level. Brilliant!

                                      Serbia carving up USA then decide ‘you know what, let’s stop giving it to Joker and just start lobbing up wild 3s’. Like the other four guys all thought they were the best player but just needed the space to show it. If I were a Serb I’d be rioting in the street

                                        Dame Lisa Carrington is a fucking phenom and NZs greatest athlete. She has more than a decade on most of the other people in that K4 race and still, in a "team" event, looked like the dominant athlete.

                                        Someone build a fucking statue. you'll need a lot of bronze to do those shoulders and guns justice.

                                          Lids still two behind Metraux who is in the clubhouse. She's running out of holes to catch up. Korda is closing, two shots back, tied for 4th
