Tour of Britain Day 7

Bristol

Two stages in one day; both on the same route. Firstly an individual time-trial; then a shorter race in the afternoon looping around.

The route starts on the Downs heading past Bristol Zoo before crossing Brunel's Suspension Bridge. It runs downhill alongside Ashton Court before taking a loop around the river as oppose to the docks.
The end of the course travels up the 9% climb used two years ago back onto the Downs.

Rugby 7's - Women's Bronze Medal Match [Live!]

GB v Canada.

Both sides working at best in the first half, but Canada was just too good and GB couldn't keep the ball as has been the case all competition.

Boxing [-55 hours]

I've heard there was a shock defeat in the boxing earlier. I haven't seen any of it yet so it's time to compound watch to date.

Bout 1, men's 60kg vs Phi. a good adrenaline bout.

Bout 2, men's 91kg vs Pol. a tidy start but it felt frustratingly indisciplined by the end.

Some issue with the links as both boxing streams for Saturday are the same, ashame.

Bout 3, already into Sunday welterweight Irish v Alg. bit bored of that one.

Bout 4, think we're still in the welters, GB take on a heafty African boxer from Uganda. It's light heavy 81kg, I correct. The lucky Ugandan escaped a knock-down in the second.

Got to take a bed-rest, so it's going to be a results catch-up before I retire.

That's annoying, the first match of the competition and not findable online GB's Light Flyweight progressed. So that was 3 advancing from Saturday.

I've seen all the GB Sunday action, thin on the ground.

Today saw that first Light Flyweight drop out to a Cuban.

Just finished about 20 minutes prior a welterweight advancement.

And stopping me going anywhere near my bed, live, is Antony Fowlers first middleweight bout, though I might go get ready for bed whilst it's on, and annoyingly I've seen Okolie is boxing in an hours time too.

Gymastics - Men's Team Final

Had to explain this scoring system too, though I soon ended up on my own watching an off-form Chinese team as the fourth apparatus were heading to a close. Some good work but nerves showed. I gapped out to watch the rugby but on return the final scores were coming in and GB just missed out.
