Just glad it went to a champion and not just a lucky journeyman ....that being said, it has no place at the Olympics but that can be said for so many sports!!

However, it is now all about hooking the US tv audience as the inclusion of effjng baseball in Tokyo clearly shows!

Commercialized rubbish.......

Is baseball one of those showcase events like BMX Racing was.

I can actually see baseball being a success, will be competitive

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Oh god 1st and 2nd 1 to go

 

[ncurd]

Baseball was removed once before its biggest problem is the game happening during the MLB season. Olympics doesn't have the best players playing. Unsure why it was reinstated.

And yeah horse Dancing shouldn't be an Olympic sport either.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Gold and silver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ncurd]

We'll take that! Louis Smith looks gutted. Matt Whitlock take a bow! Double gold and silver!

[ncurd]

Still at least one more gold to go today possibly 2.

BBC making a huge deal out of super Saturday and we've been more successful today.

Oh gods; in Tokyo we'll be subjected to a load of cringeworthingly painful montages and "artistic" voiceovers hoping for a 2nd "Super-Sunday"; or worse, a "Super-Weekend"

Nah if yesterday was anything to go by no other sport matter than athletics.

So a gold in the sailing.

Thats true, maybe they'll do what the NHL did when the Winter Olympics is on and have a break, Im sure the MLB can lose a few games from a 162 game per team schedule

Yup don't know if we add it to the medal table yet as he has to complete his races like Dempsey did today.

I mean I'd rather Basketball cared about the Olympucs more but at least the top players come. NHL yeah it's great and the Canadians at least count it above Stanley Cup rings. MLB doing that would go a long way to help but I don't see it happening.

 

[Which Tyler]

Medal table doesn't get updated until the medal ceremony, so we havrent won the sailing gold, or the cycling one yet

 

[ncurd]

Skinner or Kenny anyone got a preference?

 

[stus768]
