Whenever offered too much choice, I usually select the young men in skimpy gear option. It has always served me well.

Could do but the idea is that you have to pace yourself across the three sections, not have a rest in the middle lol

That’s true , but I suppose it could be better than leaving the swim out entirely.

What was the Senegalese 50s penalty for in the canoe slalom?

It was because he missed one of the door if i understood correctly.
Apparently missing a door is when their head doesn't pass inside it

Watching the gymnastics but they’re not even showing the GB team so one of the commentators was describing Max Whitlocks routine. Not quite the same as watching it!

Gold or Silver & 1 paddler left this is exciting

 

[pecan]

Wow! Gestin’s run was incredible! Fair play. Well done Burgess on silver

 

[Ndrangheta]

Looks like they are canoeing down a sewage outfall drain ...

I’ll be glad when the number of tennis matches reduce - trying to see what’s on discovery plus is a pain in the a having to scroll past a load of tennis matches going on. First world problems

Whoever is in charge of the coverage on bbc needs sacking. They aren’t even showing the Team GB men’s Gymanstics, but I’m getting A+ coverage of USA, Japan and Ukraine

 

[Lilu22]

Hashimoto making a very unusual mistake, normally he is near perfect

 

[Stillwater]

Friends fear she caved went for the 3.99 Discovery+

I am not a Beeb refusnik but it’s impossible to watch anything to fruition.

yeah these are GB scores from live text, Max A brilliant 15.266 flashes up on the scoreboard. That is higher than anyone has managed at these Games so far.

Joe Fraser was the first GB gymnast on rings and he's delighted with a performance that has scored more than in qualifying, 13.766.

He's followed by Luke Whitehouse, who has made a huge improvement on his qualifying routine (where he got 12.400) to score 13.266

Absolutely humbling watching these games.

"Still sprightly and one of the best in the game at the old and haggard age of 31 years"

Me, a 31 year old who just slammed a Taco Bell and won't be moving until bed time:

I'm watching skateboarding. I'm new to this and I'm sure it's all very skilled. However, everytime they fall over I half expect their mum ro rush over with the germoline and plasters.

 

[Stillwater]

Their Mums haven’t known where they’ve been for the last 15 years.

They did say they have no control over the cameras.

Might be wrong but I thought all video is from one provider so it just depends what they give?
The female gymnastics they thought they were going to show a UK routine but ended up cutting to another country, I thought because they didn't have a choice?

 

[pixxyy]

yeah i'd expect if up to BBC they'd be doing constant Max Cam

the fact that they are not wearing helmets scared me
