The Audtrian is in 7th on the course, so... Maybe doable.

Last podium sees a Brit and a Brazilian on ths podium, ehich is nice. Gold to Lietuva though.

Well, we cracked the top 10 both on the G-S-B and total medal counts. Behind what we're accustomed to, but certainly no disaster.

Already loving the closing ceremony. 'Our house' was an inspired choice to kick things off properly.

I don't think anyone is surprised. Valerie Adams must've known, but she showed great grace in receiving her silver. I feel sorry for her, but we all knew she was the real champion from the start.
