Likely to be not enough. Swimming is odd in that the qualifiers are by time as opposed to placement as in Athletics (Fastest losers aside)

It's not.
He came 14th and only the top 8 go through to the final. You can't really ask more.

Some performance by Argentina in the 7's, down to 6 men after 3 minutes, ended up going down to 5 men late on.

Should get a medal in the women's rowing tonight (1.50am), just by looking at the betting. 

Third favourites at 4/1

Bronze for Ireland and a potential another 2 medals to come in rowing. On another note I see Mark Kinsella's daughter wins a medal for GB in gymnastics

Great performance and result from Kurt Walker to overcome the world champion and gold medal fav.  Just watched the fight and he was somewhat lucky to get the second round but deserved to win the 1st and 3rd.  He now fights an American in the QFs who is coached by Billy Walsh!

After a poor start in the ring the boxing team have turned the corner and we now have a great shout at 3 medals Clap

Great news from from the boxers - hopefully they can get 2/3 medals now and we should get a gold and bronze in the rowing too.

When do the rowing men go in the final?

Aoife O’Rourke fights at 10.18 today and Nhat Nguyen plays in the badminton at 10.40
Both seem to be underdogs

Great performance. Took some big shots in the 2nd & 3rd but showed great head movement throughout the fight. Not easy as he was the taller fighter.

Edging the tans out made it all the more sweeter Clap


First time since Atlanta that the tans haven't won the Mens fours
