bet mcilroy feels a right tool now mind you hes been shite for the last year

2nd in medal table

So for Terence........

Irish medal hopes I think are best within boxing.
Mick Conlan has won his opening bout and is a live gold medal contender. Katie Taylor is in the same boat and is yet to start her campaign for Gold.

Elsewhere.......... one to watch in particular could be Natalya Coyle in the modern pentathlon. That starts later in the week.
She could well medal but margins are tight.

Cycling- It's the Mens Sprint Final with both the finalists are GB riders.

Don't you love it when your guarenteed both the gold and the silver medals

Murray v Del Potro is best of five sets as it is the final.
Match only just underway. Murray leads 2-0 in the early exchanges.
