Yes!!! Manic Monday has been good for us so far. Adam Peaty is just a beast in the pool and successfully defended his gold from Rio. Tom Daley finally earns himself a gold medal alongside Matty Lee in the 10m synchronised diving and Tom Pidcock takes gold in the cross country mountain bike comp.
Gutted for Lauren Williams in the taekwondo final losing out in the dying seconds but a silver in your debut olympics is still impressive and it looks like the Brownlee’s can stick to making TV ads with Alex Yee showing his class in the Triathlon and earning himself the silver medal.
The cross country mountain biking looked bonkers!!!

Oh yeah, you need to remove your brain at the start of the course and collect it again at the end.
Another gold in the pool in the 200m freestyle with Tom Dean and Duncan Scott taking the silver in the same race. GB take bronze in dressage. Bianca Walkden won her Bronze medal match in taekwando and GB women’s artistic gymnastics team earn an impressive bronze.
I’m trying to keep up with the medal wins by all GB athletes but there is a lot going on.
Ok after a couple of days out I’m back. Been a lot of medals but the highlights have been a few more gold medals. Beth Shriever took gold in the BMX racing giving everything and couldn’t walk at the end. Kye White also took silver in the men’s event immediately before her. 2 golds in mixed events one in the pool with the 4x100m Medley which also came with a WR time, and the first ever Olympic mixed Triathlon relay saw GB take the gold. Oh, forgot to mention the Men’s 200m freestyle relay where the GB lads took the win setting a European record time in the process.

Another couple of gold medals for GB. Max Whitlock retains his olympics title on the pommel horse and Charlotte Worthington took gold in the BMX freestyle thanks to an NBD (never been done) 360 backflip. In the pool we managed a silver in the men’s 4x100m medley earning Duncan Scott his record breaking 4th medal of the games. Super heavyweight Fraser Clarke is guaranteed a medal in the boxing having progressed to the semi and Ben Whittaker is going for gold in the 81kg category.
Zharnel Hughes is left devastated after a false start and a DQ from the 100m final. We’re not having much to celebrate on the track but with 3 women in the 800m final hopefully our luck will change on Tuesday.
It was a cracking routine from Max!

A few more medals including our 11th gold courtesy of our equestrians in the team eventing and Tom McEwen earns a silver in the individual category.
In other news today history was made in the women’s 87kg+ weightlifting. New Zealand’s Lauren Hubbard became the first transgender person to compete in a category differing from their gender at birth. Not only that but Emily Campbell earned herself a silver medal, the first ever GB Olympic weightlifting medal by a woman. She was beaten by an Olympic record lift by China’s Li Wenwen.
GB women took or Spain in the hockey quarterfinals and at 2-2 on the final whistle the match was decided by a penalty shootout where Maddie Hinch was a brick wall in goal and the difference between the two sides and we are rewarded with a semi against The Netherlands.

Some of the bits I've seen have been amazing. You have to be pretty brave to do track and esp hurdles in that kind of rain!
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
