Just seen an interview with him. Interviewer showed no emotional intelligence and kept going. Amazed he carried on. Feel sorry for the guy. We all make mistakes and she just seemed so critical of him.

I'm not even sure he was expected to qualify,won his heat.

Well he didn’t

Thought that's what he said

 

[Grendel]

He said it but the rules allow you to stop by raising your hand. He did it in the trials he’s a slow starter and tries to beat the clock - lesson learned

Italians have properly done us this summer! Exciting 4x100 though. I don’t think I can remember an olympics where the Americans weren’t in the final of that.

Can't think many would've bet on them winning the men's 100m either. Fair play

Our gold rush will tail off now, the events where you get to sit down while competing are over

Been shit at them this year, poor years in the rowing cycling

 

[CCFCSteve]

I’ve ended up loving the olympics....didn’t think I would without crowds. Not sure you can say we’ve had a poor year in cycling DOD ?!! We haven’t been dominating like previous recent Olympics but pretty good so far !

How wrong you were

 

[David O'Day]

How wrong you were

A couple of golds is still a poor year for what is normally a powerhouse set of events

8 golds in 2012 and 6 in 2016

 

[David O'Day]

I'm also talking purely velodrome based events and road racing

Whole olympics and we’ve won many golds since you said we wouldn’t

I didn't say that though did I. You will find that was COV and I just said we weren't as good at "events you sit down for".

You’re correct sorry

 

[David O'Day]

You’re correct sorry

No worries

did I see we wouldn’t win many medals?

Didn’t mean that & wasn’t slagging anyone off, was just mucking about that we’re usually the best in the sports you sit down in.

Just pointing out hadn't said anything that could eve be thought of as saying we wouldn't win any more medals.

Balding and Scott give me bloody strength. Like an Olympic version of the 1 show. Mindless dross. Just show me the sport and stfu

they are shocking - the bbc need to drop this banter rubbish - balding ruins Wimbledon as well with her droning nonsense. Scott has no ability to front a show - why is she even there

Balding is terrible. She seems to know nothing about sport. I can't watch her programme. Is it only me that is not interested in watching athletes parents celebrating?

Some of the other presenters are good though.

That Wimbledon programme with Balding was a disgrace. Can't stand her.

 

[Macca]

I’m fairness I should add that the problem is the directors and the fact that a reasonable portion of society don’t have the attention span to watch anything without gimmicks

 

[Macca]

Gabby, Denise and MJ are better. More about the actual sport

Would have liked to see your average person maintain concentration for the Madison this morning!

 

[CCFCSteve]

The Keirin and Boxing well worth watching….amazing performances

Really proud of all our athletes, a great games in difficult circumstance

Ps balding is just cringeworthy now, she used to be ok but the comedy stuff is dreadful. I don’t mind Scott on football
