This is in front of a room full of black people. What is he fucking doing this for?!

This thread is live and is gonna be well worth following. The Trump campaign has, for some mad reason, agreed that he will speak in front of the National Association of Black Journalists. He's already kept them waiting an hour because they said they had Politifact there to fact check him in real time, so he went into a stand off with them. Now he's on stage and.... It is not going well.

Canoe Slalom final starting in the next 5 to 10 min. GB lass won a medal in Tokyo and qualified in 6th, so she has a chance. If anyone wants to watch....

Aye, it wasn't planned. Wilde imploded on the last lap. Ran 11 seconds slower than previous lap, whilst Yee ran 8 seconds quicker. He just saw the lad in front of him faltering and whipped past him.

Given Willock's injury record, I'm pleased to see the new performance director is insisting on a crash helmet during pre season.

Barry Glendenning is doing the Guardian live feed, and he says Argentina won, so that's that.

And C) I don't know which moved are harder than others. But, all that said, I agree. He was robbed.

I hate events like that where a) a judge decides and b) I know fuck all about how scoring works.

Second?! Bullshit from the judges.

Mental stuff from the boy from Gateshead there.

Always a bit awkward when you were playing out on your bikes and someone rolled up on a racer.

You should reflect on this for a while, and then consider your attempts to lecture me on judgement re The Bear. GRIFTER TITS!

I had a Mongoose cos I was about as cool as it gets. I was basically one of the kids in ET.

The final is actually on NOW. Just starting. I took my info from something that showed it in Paris time.

Ridiculous that from Alex Yee. The commentators on Eurosport kept theorising that he might still have something in the tank, but there's no way you let someone put that big of a gap into you unless you can't go with them. Couldn't believe it when he came back to win at the end. (still don't think the commentators were right though!)

Hmm that would nice to see *RECORD SCRATCH* Maybe not then.

The rest of your day is: BMX Freestyle at half 2. Our lad is the favourite. Canoe Slalom at 4:25. Our lass should be in with a medal chance if she gets through the semi earlier in the afternoon. Then the gymnastics and the swimming later but don't think there's much medal hope tonight.

Mental finish that.

It's so much better than that bloated Game of Thrones horseshit.

It's haunting you. You're being haunted.

You're just wrong. Absolutely mental how much it's annoying you though.

On Radio 4 they've been playing the clip of Farage yesterday "just asking questions" about who might be responsible etc. Then they're asking Brendan Cox (husband of Jo) how he feels on hearing "a sitting MP saying things like that?" - he called Farage "Tommy Robinson in a suit". You'd hope this might be the BBC waking up to the role it's played in turning the bloke into a mainstream politician, and now an MP, but I doubt it. He'll still be a frequent flyer on Question Time when it comes back.

Wait til the shot putters get going lads. There'll be something there you like.

Lads, it's our gold. Just shut up and take the win.
