Punditry on the Olympics is probably better than most other sports.
Properly qualified comments and explanation. Easy too respect .
Admirable effort by the French in the Gold medal game against the US in the mens basketball, just going to fall short with a few too many turnovers costing them.
âWell if you wonât hit the horse harder, then I willâ
Itâs good and itâs bad. For example, the diving this morning on repeat was showing each diver back to back (in real time, youâd have to wait seemingly an eternity between dives)
However, if itâs a sport youâre really interested in and donât just want to watch gold v silver, the BBC is shit.
I had to dredge through Eurosportâs shows from Thursday night/Friday morning in order to find the karate I wanted to watch. It wasnât on BBC at all.
Eurosport have the main rights. Iâm sure BBC are the secondary rights holder
I take it the Brazil game isnât on telly?
Pmsl
Such a dumb âsportâ anyway. Good on the horse I say.
The person who came last in the marathon deserves more accolades than any rider in the dressage.
The main qualifications for being an Olympic equestrian rider are a horse, loads of money and having a double barrel surname.
Itâs not exactly sport for all.
Iâm fucking up and about with Australia getting our 1st medal in Mens Basketball, well deserved for us after finishing 4th and the last two major championships.
Massive crash in the womenâs omnium race including Laura Kenny
She looks to be alright. Was a nasty one for a few riders.
Jason Kenny was so smart in that race, heâs been poor this Olympics by his standard when it comes to power so he just took a gamble and went for it from the first lap and hoped the others wouldnât react in time. Love it.
GB 4th, 21 silvers that hopefully that can turn some into gold next time. Always amazing at the games. Fair play.

We won!
Which Barnier loving, EU cunt made this graphic?
Itâs a valid point though.
Military aside, if the EU was a country it would by far be the biggest most dominant country in the world. Huge population, huge economy, extremely developed etc.
If you could just get people on the same page (impossible I know) then a United Federation of Europe would be unrivalled in global dominance.
Even the Chinese would struggle.
Some of the Australian athletes coming back have to spend 28 days in isolation
I mean, thatâs cool and all, but it just isnât a country so
This is a bit overkill.
