PussEKatt Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Hockey would be ok if you could score from anywhere in the oppositions half instead of only from inside that circle area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Seat68 Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) I played hockey once at school. Whacked a kid across the head with the stick by accident. Never played again. I no longer teach. Edited July 24, 2021 by Seat68 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Denmark scoring 47 goals against home nation Japan in the Handball tournament. New Olympic record. Was kinda embarrassing to watch Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Watch the last bit of the cycling. Happy for Ecuador and Carapaz to get a gold. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Just watching this women’s road race. My god the commentator is terrible. Every K that ticks down he says it’s going to be a big (says the amount) to go. Yes we get it, people don’t normally lead this long, but change the record.

hogso Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Enjoyed watching the diving and taekwondo this morning. Now that it's started, I am glad it's on, as I'm finding entertainment in seeing these 30 min / hour long snippets of sports I generally never see. I like that feeling when you become an expert in any given event after watching for about 5 mins. I find myself very quickly saying things aloud like 'ooohh bad dive that, sync was out, very big splash. 5.5'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 France beating the US of A in the opening round of the Basketball tournament. The US has been in terrible form so maybe not a huge upset but still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted July 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25, 2021 Street style in the skateboarding was decent. Might suffer from the same thing football does long term - the Olympics isn't the pinnacle of the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 This BBC / Discovery deal has really done me over. The BBC coverage used to be amazing but now I'm stuck with two events. Asparagus to nothing but I was watching the gymnastics earlier and there was the most annoying northern co-commentater droning on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lichfield Dean Posted July 25, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2021 The women's road race was hilarious. The cyclist that came second thought she'd won. And everyone behind her thought she'd won. Why? Because the actual winner was not a well known cyclist and she launched an early attack and all the favourites effectively forgot about her and spent the remainder of the race faffing about with their peloton "tactics". Also, they didn't get any radio info about the positions of riders (unlike in other road races and tours). Of course, they all started blaming the lack of radio comms rather than the fact that they were concentrating so hard on the tactical side of things that they basically forgot to race. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC coverage used to be amazing but now I'm stuck with two events. The coverage is quite annoying, but not much the BBC could really have done about it. Discovery paid around £900m for the exclusive rights across Europe - about three times the annual budget of BBC2, or the equivalent of 24 years of Radio 1. Given the Brexit morons have decided that the BBC is the next thing they should try and ruin, it's probably not the most sensible thing to spend that much cash on.

My mom stayed up until 3am to watch the rowing the other night because two lads from a village near where she's from in West Cork were competing and the BBC didn't show it. Is there any way to watch every event in the UK now? Edit: I've just done some research into this... It's all on Discovery+ which is £6.99 for a month so probably worth signing up for a month if you want all the coverage. OR appasrently you can get 12 months free if you're a Sky Q customer. I haven't done it yet but I'll investigate and see what happens Edited July 25, 2021 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
