Loved that Triathlon relay - what a race. Agree with JAFO, didn’t seem 1hr 30mins - I haven’t moved watching it!

Triathlon relay. Well that was great. They said it was about 1 hr 30 mins. Seemed much shorter than that. That's a great format.
Good grief, boys! Commenting on the action, that’s a tad risqué...!
I’m afraid I don’t do very well past Horlicks time, so I’m about to ingest a couple of coffees over the morning catch up. Sounds like it has been an interesting night.
With regard to the Triathlon, I was careful (as was @TigerChris) not to give any spoilers, if that's what you mean. I referred to British success in the BMX, but that was much later, as I watched a recording of that, but I still didn't give the precise results.
Other interesting things I have seen were the tense denouement of the mens team gymnastics, and some of the rugby sevens I happened on. I haven't watched very much though, although I am looking forward to the track cycling.
What I don't understand is why track cycling keep cutting back their programme to reduce the number of medals on offer, but swimming and gymnastics offers so many. Swimming especially, 4 strokes, multiple distances, varieties of medleys and so on. Multiple competitors per nation per event. Cycling now only has one competitor per nation per event,
