Women’s marathon swim: About 10 minutes to go in the race, which is more than most of have ever done the front crawl without stopping. These women though? They laugh at your 15 minutes of front crawl [NB: other strokes are available]. By my estimation any of nine swimmers could take the gold, they’re all bunched up as we reach the final lap, including USA Haley Anderson and Ashley Twichell, and Australia’s Kareena Lee. GB’s Alice Dearing is too far back to threaten the leaders though. Germany’s Leonie Beck leads by two seconds.
Hello. A few early starts today at the women’s marathon swim (does the water get hot later on in the day?) and the start of the women’s golf tournament – they’re out and about already. As for the rest of the day? Here’s Martin Belam with a rundown of the upcoming action.
