Simone Biles on tonight at some stage too. RTE better show it

Thereā€™s a lassie competing in the volleyball for Mexico who is the grand daughter of the Mexican pilot who made an emergency landing at Mallow racecourse in 1983 and waited for six weeks while the locals built a runway for him to take off again.

Theyā€™re showing it right now

Great

For the sailors, anyone know how Net and Gross points work? I assume that their worst race or 2 are omitted from Gross to Net. So if they, or those behind them win a race tomorrow would it negate one of their bad results thatā€™s currently in the net score?

AFAIK you discard your worst score.

Pity there isnā€™t an Olympic gold medal for stupid accents. Both Wiffens could be bringing gold home
