Siobhan Bernadette Haughey has withdrawn from the 50 metres freestyle. That’s the last of her in this Olympics.

But Saskia Tidey, daughter of Don Tidey, is chasing a medal in the sailing for Team GB.

We’ve had a MacSharry from Sligo reaching a swimming final.

I’m yet to be convinced that Nick O’Hare isn’t a brother of Dessie O’Hare.

At this stage I wouldn’t be surprised to see Shergar’s nephew pop up in the dressage for France.

Mark English OUT of the 800 metres in the heats.

Finishes fourth in his heat but that’s not a qualifying position and he wont get in as one of the six fastest others.

100m free & butterfly double for Caleb Dressel. He is the man of this Olympics.

World record to boot.

Cheasty · July 31, 2021, 1:48am

Titmus is 9/2 to win this 800 metres freestyle. Ledecky 1/8.

Cheasty · July 31, 2021, 1:57am

The bookies were right.

Chucks_Nwoko · July 31, 2021, 2:00am

Comfortable win for Ledecky.

I had the split screen on the go to catch Sarah Lavin’s 100m hurdle heat. 7th.

Cheasty · July 31, 2021, 2:01am

Just ten more swimming races left of the Olympics. Five more tonight, five tomorrow.

Chucks_Nwoko · July 31, 2021, 2:02am

Australia will probably cut all broadcast here once the swimming is over.

Chucks_Nwoko · July 31, 2021, 2:12am

Dressel out again in the 50m freestyle semis now. Another gold in his sights.

Cheasty · July 31, 2021, 2:44am

The batshit relay final coming up. I want to see Emma McKeon up against Caleb Dressel.

Chucks_Nwoko · July 31, 2021, 2:45am

McKeon had the 50m free semi final a minute ago straight into the 4x100m relay final. SHE HASN’T EVEN TAKEN HER HAT OFF!

Cheasty · July 31, 2021, 2:46am

She had two hats in that last race.

Chucks_Nwoko · July 31, 2021, 2:47am

Dressel going for another gold here, anchoring them home.

Chucks_Nwoko · July 31, 2021, 2:48am

This is a wonderful event.

Cheasty · July 31, 2021, 2:52am

Dressel routed by the women. Team GB are the champions.

Chucks_Nwoko · July 31, 2021, 2:53am

And celebrated in typically humble fashion.

Cheasty · July 31, 2021, 2:54am

Novice mistake by the Yanks. Goggles failed for the women’s 100 metres breaststroke winner Jacoby.

Big_Dan_Campbell · July 31, 2021, 6:30am

Just saw the replay of it, a fair performance given the poor start in the first leg butterfly
