Re: Olympics - Brazil 2016
I've just realised there's something I'm not looking forward to in the athletics - the Brendan Foster/Steve Cram know-it-all-in-tedious-detail commentary style. Do we have to ship out the same old bores every time someone starts to run in circles or up a road?
The repetitiveness is ebbing the life out of me.
And still there are no crowds. Perhaps the sight of self indulgent athletes ingratiating themselves is no longer motivating for the average, skint bystander.

It sounds to me like you're not looking forward to anything all about the athletics ...
And surely the whole point is that these athletes are not the self-indulgent pretty boys of premier league football, they are the true sportsmen and women, who don't throw a tantrum if they don't earn enough for a new Porche every week.

It's just a shame for these true sportsmen that their chosen events are to dull to keep the publics attention for anything more than a couple of days every four years really.

Re: Olympics - Brazil 2016
Women's team Pursuit win Gold
Male single pursuit has two GB finalists, so Guaranteed both Gold and Silver. Shame one of them will lose though. Andy Murray is also on course to secure the Tennis singles Gold and will face Del Potro as heavy favourite.

Nah, I am watching it; I'd just like a bit of variety. I can just see Steve and Brendan with their flat caps on having a chinwag about t'runners and I'd rather not
I'm not fussed on £1m per month Pogba either. For that money I'd want him scoring 5 times a match whilst whistlin' Dixie and tap dancing along the crossbar.

Amazing cycling, too many top performances to name everyone. Did you see the Dutch girl ride the side barrier in the keirin?! link

Re: Olympics - Brazil 2016
I think there may have been some worry about Team GB's abilities away from home .London 2012 would take some beating but i reckon this is a brilliant performance from the whole team
