I watched most of 2012 from behind a pub bar so I never got to see it for London..They started during the 2012 London ones! Seems only fitting! I love Adam hills and have done for a long time! We can only hope (I don’t see how they won’t)

A boy I went to school with is also going so I’ll 100% be looking out for him!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.
The BBC decided to buy partial rights from Eurosport but it’s basically illegal for more than 200 hours to be shown live.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!
I don’t even remember there being crashes in the past? I wonder why so many this year?Another crash in the velodrome, NL went sideways straight into team GB rider on the higher part of the track.
I guess it may have a lot to do with a lack of competition experience over the last year or so?I don’t even remember there being crashes in the past? I wonder why so many this year?
I can’t take it seriously I’m sorry. I’m sure it’s very athletic but they may as well just runAnyone watching the race walking?
I wonder if any of them are from Leeds? I see loads of them training around my neighbourhoodAnyone watching the race walking?

Most pointless sport out there XDAnyone watching the race walking?
I’m from Leeds too!I wonder if any of them are from Leeds? I see loads of them training around my neighbourhood
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.Matt Walls was outstanding, he really deserved that win.
Concerns me the lack of competition and training for young athletes, they have lost so much crucial training.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.
