Olympic Games Update

[ncurd]

Mate I didn't even know there was a 4am in the morning.

Don't worry I just had to tell my wife the same thing I even told her the result twice this morning.

I forget how much I enjoy the olympics.
Granted it start when GB actually got focused and professional.

But the whole experience it's what I want sports to be.
Uniting to watch.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

And that's how it should be. Just such a shame it's such a sell out ( referring to Discovery purchasing the rights etc and restricting two live events at one time).

Doubt we'll ever see the likes of 2012 and 2016 again when we could just view any sport live on bbc online.

The USA fighter sounded like she'd been shot after she won gold

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Silver for Sinden.

Entertaining stuff, if not a little...odd, after watching other combat sports

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

It's sad how people are complaining that the BBC are not showing more live stuff.
Can't tell if they are too thick to know how broadcasting rights work or not.

Hasn't this been coming for a while. USA have been losing more and more in basketball.

Yeah, when I was looking at the schedule earlier I read the BBCs page about it,

Tokyo Olympics: BBC TV schedule, radio and online coverage - times and channels

Full listings and coverage channels for the Tokyo Olympics across BBC TV, BBC iPlayer, BBC radio and online.

I'm glad they've managed to get as much as they have - I bet it was like getting blood from a stone even with its protected status

1.3bn Euros is an insane amount of money - includes the 2024 Olympics as well

Can't say I have followed the Basketball that closely, and didn't realise France beat them at the WC 2 years ago. Still, USA not out of it yet.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

USA lost to Nigeria and Australia in their warm up games.

Yeah, I read that outside of the Olympics they've been losing more games recently.

First Gold for GB at these Games.

Netherlands soccer player Leike Martens.

Tom Daley's almost certainly finally done it!

Well done to Matty Lee as well definitely shouldn't be forgotten equal partnership.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Nice to wake up to two Golds this morning.

Yeh definitely, but more sweet for Daly as the country has seen him grow up and get so close to gold in previous games. And also how he lost his dad etc.

Could be a third in a bit.
