Reynolds in the final but she won't win. Saya was our best chance of gold.
It's a race between Shriever and Pajon for the gold. Pajon would be the heavy favourite. Reynolds would be fighting for the bronze.
I don't know what Willoughby was thinking. There was no need for her to do what she did. All she had to do was keep going the way she was, she would have made it through. Maybe she was trying to secure a best time so she could have a choice at which lane she wanted. The preference for every rider would be that far left outside lane which gives the rider a very good chance of taking the lead at the first bend provided the start is good. Shriever has been very consistent throughout the BMX heats but Pajon is the better rider.

I wouldn't say so, she was in top two through basically all her runs and first in all three semi runs.

Kookaburras still undefeated but their game against Spain finished in a 1-1 draw.
In the Rugby 7's, Australia lost to USA 14-12. They will play Fiji in the Quarter Final which isn't going to be an easy match.

Scratch that, Spain have taken the lead.
It's only leg 1/6 so there's a while to go yet.

Brandon Starc has qualified for the men's high jump final.
That's on Sunday. If anyone thinks that last name sounds familiar, Brandon Starc is the younger brother Australian cricketer Mitchell Starc.

Yeah the sailors are starting to do alright, might still be a couple of golds there.
I'm excited about the medley relays, all three in the swimming.
It will be interesting to see if the Aussies can find a good breatstroker for the women because the other three legs are all guns in McKeon, McKeown and Campbell.
The men are up against it with really only Chalmers, Larkin and Stubble but Chalmers the only real standout.
