That was pretty crazy. Looked like he was miles off the guy in first, and was possibly going to be overtaken by the guy in third. Then right at the end was like ‘right, probably time to win this now’
this was insane, these are top top athletes and he just pipped him with barely any track left to race on. phenomenal from yee.
and GB just won another Gold in rowing; women’s quad sculls.
Yee, Pidcock and the womens quad rowing team clinching gold from seemingly impossible positions at the last moments, it has been an insane Olympics for GB!
5 minutes highlights of the race, its sounds like the BBC co commentator breaks down into tears at the end!

Team GB appear to be making ‘Insane Comeback’ thier signature move this Olympics.
The ending was insane.
And hats off to Wilde’s sportsmanship. He got smoked on the last bit of the run and still immediately hugged Yee after crossing the finish line.
If my calculations are right, these guys ran around a 3:00/km pace for 10km after 1.5km swimming and 40km on a bike. And I was happy to achieve a sub 4min/km on my interval training :’)
