Well done to Josh Kerr for winning the bronze medal in the men’s 1500m Final today.

The first British male to win a medal in the 1500m since Peter Elliots silver in Seoul 1988!

Also well done to Laura Muir for winning silver in the women’s 1500m yesterday.

Jason Kenny with his seventh Olympic Gold Medal    He won the Karin earlier today.   Amazing feat!😆

 
Must admit I have enjoyed the Olympics even with the awkward viewing times for GB. 
GB Highlight medals for me where Josh Kerr bronze, Laura Muir silver, BMX racing gold and silver, mountain bike gold, ‘the Kenny’s’, and the triathlon mixed relay gold.

Overall the performance of the Olympics was maybe one of the last events, the men’s marathon. Kipchoge showed his class at the event and won with ease.

 
I thought they were the most enjoyable Olympics since Athens 2004, though maybe I had the benefit of a good viewing times.
