I watched most of 2012 from behind a pub bar so I never got to see it for London..

Channel 4 are definitely showing the Paralympics as they’ve been advertising it for a while with the song from Bugsy Malone 
Pretty sure Last Leg are doing their shows too as I’m sure they mentioned it at the end of the last series.
An acquaintance of mine is a Para athlete and heading to Tokyo (my clutching at straws claim to fame
) so I’ll be tuning in.

I dont like the presenters and commentators on Discovery & Eurosport find them all really irritating. Maybe I prefer the BBC team because they are familiar to me though.
Was nice too Mark Cavendish on Eurosport this morning though I have a real soft spot for him.

The BBC decided to buy partial rights from Eurosport but it’s basically illegal for more than 200 hours to be shown live.
I watch Eurosport but what annoys me about the BBC is their schedule is really unpredictable so I have no idea what they’re gonna show. Then instead of showing the full event they cut to the studio for pointless discussion but maybe that’s to do with the 200 hours.
Another crash in the velodrome, NL went sideways straight into team GB rider on the higher part of the track.
I don’t even remember there being crashes in the past? I wonder why so many this year?
I guess it may have a lot to do with a lack of competition experience over the last year or so?
Anyone watching the race walking?
I can’t take it seriously I’m sorry. I’m sure it’s very athletic but they may as well just run
Watching the men’s skating final. So exciting. The skateboarding and bmx events have been my favourite to watch this Olympics. So glad they’re a part of it.
I wonder if any of them are from Leeds? I see loads of them training around my neighbourhood
Brexit.
Looks like the gold rush has abated and its going to be more of a trickle as we approach the last few days. Our medal target was revised to between 45 and 70, so we've done well to achieve that, though questions are going to be asked of some of the underperforming sports.
Covid has obviously had a massive effect but in general it has been a good Olympics and plenty of young athletes to give us hope for the future.

Most pointless sport out there XD
I watched some of the park skating yesterday and found it boring 
I’m from Leeds too!
Matt Walls was outstanding, he really deserved that win.
Excellent race. It's really impressive how they can do the maths to stay on top of what position they need to be in to get the points they need etc.
Loving the camaraderie and sportsmanship that’s been shown in the skateboarding. Everyone is just so hyped for each other. With other events, the competitors look like they’re about to enter battle, which I understand of course, but it’s refreshing to see a more relaxed approach. I hope they don’t lose that as the event grows.

Concerns me the lack of competition and training for young athletes, they have lost so much crucial training.
