I can't help but laugh at the speed walking race
I know, it is so tactical. He played it perfectly though, I am so pleased he won. Really nice to see some new talent coming through also with Matt and Jack Carling (Jack seems a bit edgy and will take risks which I love). Matt just seems so smart with his positioning.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.
Honestly I could win that and I have a really dodgy ankleI can't help but laugh at the speed walking racewho decided that should be a olympic sport?
A few months ago when discovery plus started all Sky q people got a free year - but my activation code didn’t work. I wasn’t too bothered because it looks like a shit channel - didn’t realise it has the Olympics so I missed out. It’s annoying they went with them like so many major sports events. BBC only have any say in UK events. But it is rubbish you can’t have 24 hour Olympics and see all the lessor known sports live. It will diminish interest in these sports like taking the cricket off free tv did.Is anyone else annoyed that the BBC don’t have full rights anymore? I was under the impression that the Olympics are one of the crown jewels of sport that HAD to be shown on terrestrial television? If the games went anywhere else if should have been ITV or Channel Four, NOT Discovery plus which isn’t even on most people’s Sky packages!
So many of the medal winners haven’t been funded!! The bmx guy etcTokyo Olympics: Liverpool millionaire aiding GB's medal haul

Can’t believe she wasn’t funded and we haven’t added any athletes in 2020! No wonder track and field isn’t going well!!
He sounds like a thoroughly decent chap. But this is what the lottery money is for - all those adverts we’ve seen recently and turn out they haven’t funded anyone new for a year!Tokyo Olympics: Liverpool millionaire aiding GB's medal haul

You wouldn’t have thought that when they first all get going, I thought wow this will be over quickWomen's pole vault developing into a really good contest after a sloppy start.
I asked my partner that same thingHow do you get into pole vault? It’s not something you can start using little poles over 1m

I think they start doing athletics as a kid and then get introduced to some of the more exotic field events but I’m sure they’ll talk about it once this is overI think most people have wondered this over the years, me included
Agreed, it is so good for her to finally get a medal. She is always there or thereabouts. Hard work pays off.So pleased for Holly! I’ve watched her for a long while now and she’s had some really harsh results over the last few years! Wooo!!!
I think a lot start as high jumpers. Or they're just involved in track and field and give it a go over the years. I'd love to have a crack!How do you get into pole vault? It’s not something you can start using little poles over 1m
The use the harness for the "lead" round which is on the big wall and the speed round. They don't use a harness on the smaller bouldering walls. They tend to be more about solving the puzzle of finding the right path rather than seeing how high you can go.Im enjoying the bouldering. Looks really difficult and no harness!
Edit; they use a harness in some rounds. Still getting my head round how it works.
