The Rio Olympics

[hector62]

All for banning the drug cheats but I would also ban lottery funding as that gives us an unfair advantage. Should be an even playing field for all athletes.

When other countries ban this style of funding then sure...

Just don't buy a ticket if you don't like the system...

I personally think it's great and am happy for some of the money to go in that direction when I buy a ticket. I get the pleasure back on weeks like this.

one thing that is putting me off the olympics is the constant reminders that drugs cheats are competing

FFS if you cheat with drugs the ban should be life after all the effects of the training you did while on the drugs doesnt wear off because you have stopped taking the drugs
ban the cheats for life IMHO

There would be nobody left.

Some sports on today are boxing, fencing, weightlifting, basketball, badminton, water polo, table tennis, handball, volleyball and beach volleyball - not that you'd know it, with the BBC almost exclusively showing GB events. Preferred when they used to show a mix of most, if not all, of the sports taking place.

sky 472-480 have alot of sports and then there is the bbc website

obviously the BBC 1 show will concentrate on the GB medal chances

ever since the atlanta games we are getting more and more brits with medal chances we dont get the mix of sports on the main bbc channel

i am still smarting at being in hospital during the london games and missing just about everything that a brit wasnt winning

Anyone up watching the tennis?  
Incredible match, willing Murray on obvs but Del Potro is such a likeable character.

[Marky147]

Yeah, it has been a super final.

[Woodsey]

Anyone fancy picking the winning time in the men's 100m?

I'll start: Usain Bolt beats Gatlin in 9.75 seconds.

Gotta sleep in a min but based on the semi 9.68

[Ironside]

loved to see del potro back with make usa open intresting with all the top seeds hoping to avoid del potro in the early rounds

400m Micheal Johnson's WR broken from lane 8

WOW

[muckthenuts]

I think his reaction suggested "shit, didn't mean to make it that obv that i'm on PED's"

[Magic817]

GOLD in the rolling around on the floor and still the not so bucking bronco to come

Great description of the first GB man to win an Olympic gold in Gymnastics

[Marky147]

Bet Murray is absolutely dead on his feet, that was some game.
