Ha! You're right Boston, not exactly mouthwatering viewing, much prefer the winter Olympics, more exciting events and also,after the euros, a bit of a damp squib ,some of the new sports might be interesting but not holding my breath,am itching for Rs to get back at it though

Men's road race looks tough, the humidity out there is something else.

Let us know when the gymnastics and swimming are over, might start watching it.

Just looked at the BBC presenters list, Clare Balding, Alex Scott, Matt Baker, Gabby Logan. Could be a long three weeks.

What a machine Adam Peaty is, just won his heat with the fastest qualification time and barely looked out of breath

Good finish. Even if they were left competing for Silver.

I have loved the Olympics since I was a child and seeing as we had no TV we would drive the much older neighbors nuts showing up late at night to watch them on that shaky black and white TV.
QPR fans cry about or ignore the 86 Milk Cup Final but the dagger blow from my earlier days was the Montreal Olympics in 1976 where Irelands great hope Eamon Coughlin crushed our hearts by finishing 4th in the mile after cruising into the final as heavy favorite .
Last 12 years its been all about Bolt for me that man was incredible .
I cannot get excited this year with the time difference,zero fans,and the looming thread of a complete Covid cancellation its losing its appeal. I even missed Ireland on the tape delayed parade of nations as it was not in alphabetical order for some reason

I vaguely remember the last Japanese Olympics, not that much but set me up to try and be an Olympian, travel to exoctic countries for free and run around which I thought was so neat.

County cross country, down the field a bit was the best I could manage, somehow the GB OC missed my great talent.

Will still watch a fair bit but the magic is definetly not there without the crowds.

Yep a great sprint for places but Billy's break for gold was pretty special considering just how hard the race was.

Check out Sky Brown, she's only 13 and representing GB in skateboarding.

This was her a week back winning gold at X Games:

And what can go wrong if you make a mistake!

This isn't competition but a pretty mental jump:



Also have a look at Shauna Coxsey in the climbing event. Should be decent viewing and she may be in with a chance of a medal.

Men's street was good to watch. They definitely put on a good show and I liked it that the odds-on favourite didn't win. I think the Park comp will be very special.

made all the better by the commentators discounting her and then lambasting her for going to early at 40k when she left the other 2 behind

Fantastic result for Pidcock, he’s the future of British cycling. Can’t wait to see him on his road bike at the Tours.

It was worth taping just for the post race interview.A couple of f bombs were dropped and I was only half listening until the swearing started.
And a big hand for Arthur’s son Tom on finally getting his hands on a gold medal.Sorry if people were taping it for later.
