Whats the hardest sport to do? I vote for gymnastics, we did a fair bit of it at uni and most of us there struggled to do much more than anything basic....

sync swimming or sync diving IMHO

Nah, diving is effectively gymnastics with a soft landing and you don't need to learn such a broad range of skills.

Sync swimming below both the above.

Is there no daily highlights show ?

In the morning they'll show highlights of the previous day's action- time difference means there's no round up show at say 10pm as the live stuff doesn't finish till after 3am.

Realised about the time difference but just expected there'd still be a 60-90 mins highlights show.

The Claire Balding/Mark Chapman fronted show between 10.30pm-midnight is about the closest you'll get to an evening highlights show. Seems to be recapping the major action from the morning/afternoon. Being a bit of a night owl, my plan (if I haven't seen the key action already that day) is to watch that, sleep for a couple of hours, and wake up to watch the swimming/athletics finals at 2am.

Good gear, super work ethic, and great genetics.

What are we supposed to do, other than laugh?

I make jokes about things much more important then sport Cheesy

Horrrendous crash for the Dutch girl who was leading the Womens Road Race.

Hope she is ok.

She is ok according to bbc.co.uk.  cyclists are made tougher than the rest of us.

3 fractured vertebrae apparently, but nothing to threaten her long-term recovery.
