It probably has damaged our medal propects - although lets wait and see first - but winning medals isn't so incredibly important that it removes all moral questions from consideration. We aren't fighting a war, so we can't just suppress inconvenient news. EDIT: I should reiterate, I'm not looking for a fight, and I'm not looking to spend all evening in a back-and-forth on this. This is my opinion, in as considered a manner as I can give it; if I persuaded you, great, if I didn't, I didn't. Have a good evening anyway. Cheers HV - that's fine, we'll just agree to disagree. The question re. being a racing cyclist was not to demean either you or your views but rather that would have heard how an number of these riders are often viewed in the local cycling world - 2 of them have strong local connections. Fingers crossed for the track squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Yeah I'll be honest and admit I cheered when he did... the last bloke messed it up too, no penalties but dropped just under 2 seconds in the final third Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Watching Japan vs Sweden in the football, it's in Salvador in a brand new 55k stadium I'm assuming built for the World Cup, I'd be amazed if there was 10k people in there why haven't they made it affordable for locals or given them away?

Most events have been nearly empty, there's been hardly anyone at the boxing for example. It's been one of the many problems with these Olympics.

These international sporting events only really care about the money and the TV rights rather than the locals. I think a lot of the events are priced at nearly a month's minimum wage in Brazil or something daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
