Lottery funding has been massive, they're probably genuinely grateful.

Gold in the 4 x 400!

The poor Australian female break dancer Raygun is I believe about to be famous in her country and on the world wide web for all the wrong reasons. Bless her. I hope she had a fun time at least!

Both of them!!!  An all-time blowout in the women’s race.

Poor Ireland getting passed for a medal at the last second.

Gold, silver and bronze for Femke Bol at the same Olympics.

Hey now, it was just a tribute to MJF.

While celebrating a gold medal, Uzbekistan's boxing coach suffered a cardiac arrest. A couple of the Team GB medics were able to perform CPR and save his life.

She's still got 4 more years in her I bet to have one last dance in 2026!

4 more years....2026....

That doesn't add up

Just as I predicted almost a month ago, the Men's Basketball team won gold again. Curry forever!

What a monster run in the end by Hassan and Assefa in the end. What a finale to a marathon.

Three medals for Hassan in long distance events in a singular Olympics. Just unreal for Sifan.

Rocky 3 could have been very different with Team GB medics in attendance.

US women are getting everything from the French team who are playing some suffocating defense.

Still think the turnovers will correct and the US go on a run but all tied at half - one of the biggest Olympic upsets is a distinct possibility.

Raygun desperately sitting waiting to be replaced for the funniest moment during the last moments of the games.

Put. Sabrina. Ionescu. In.

Are the British athletes instructed to thank the National Lottery? It seems that they're all saying it after their events.

British Athletics without the National Lottery would just be two swimming caps and a traffic cone.

The worst part of a Team USA loss would be another insufferable round of “They deserve this for leaving off Caitlin Clark” discourse

[The Buscher]

Wow what a finish.  Time to stop clenching.

[gunnar hendershow]

Williams had that miracle tying shot at the buzzer but foot on the danged line. France were great.

[lanky316]

Ooof, French girl loses her bearings and just misjudges a dramatic 3 pointer to level it, France fall a point short. Great game and managed to take it right down to the wire!

Now bring on the Paralympics.
