I was lucky enough to travel around Japan for 6 weeks a few years ago - Started in Sapporo and ended in Naha with many stops along the way. Once in a lifetime trip. Very expensive but totally worth it.
So so happy for Kellie Harrington winning gold for Ireland in women's boxing at 6AM irish time. I went to bed after 1 after watching the marathon, then got up again at 5:50 to watch the fight .
London was outstanding, I am biased but nothing will top it for me, Rio and Sydney 2000 up there though. Sir Steve winning his 5th gold was so special.
It might have been mentioned already but Olympics rewind on BBC Iplayer is so worth watching. So many good moments.
Felt instantly comforting to see live scenes of Paris and it was daytime compared to the night-time darkness in Tokyo Selfish, but much better for the UK viewer.
I was going to do the same but left it on and have enjoyed it, love the casual clothes worn in the Park scenes especially the baggy trousers. We were in Tokyo for a couple of nights stop over and have been meaning to go back but after seeing this it is definitely the next long haul when we are able to travel.
This is an interesting article about the funding each GB sport receives, and what they will be receiving for Paris.

Skateboarding I think got the lowest amount of funding, I suppose that isn’t totally surprising but Sky Brown has brought a lot of attention to the sport and we do actually have a few young up and coming skaters right here in the uk. The problem is we just don’t have the quality skating facilities and funding that they have in other countries. The potential is there imo for us to compete in Olympic skateboarding it just needs the investment. Hopefully the ‘progression funding’ will help.
Honestly my only concern with Paris is that some of the niche sports will get even less coverage as the time zones will be somewhat normal so there won't be that weird AM slot where they can show whatever they sort of want to without focusing overly on the Brits
