Welcome to the Olympics 2024

Really disappointed with the BBC coverage here this time round Geof. It looks like Discovery+/Eurosprort are the main provider and the BBC are showing what they allow them to. Very poor, the Olympics is something that everyone should be able to enjoy but for the first time we've been restricted due to commercial priorities. We've seen very little of the football other than a few highlights. It's yet another example of commercial greed. :(

That sucks, mate. Another example of money before people.
 
Jess Fox does it again. Flag bearer, two golds, and still another competition to go. She'll be sick of chat shows when she comes home. The Matildas/USA game is about to start!! USA must be massive favourites.
 
I am loving the olympics...such variety of sports......what people can achieve with drive and dedication is beyond belief.........the crowning moment for me so far was the inches win by our girl 4 's rowers over the Netherlands...now that is timing ...NO VAR needed either ha ha!

Wasn't that great, I've found myself screaming at the TV twice now, that one and the mens triathlon.
 
I’m not going to discuss the women’s boxing ..

What I will say is that inclusivity and wokeism has dictated that there are exactly the same number of Male and Female Contestants.

That must be the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard .

Equality has gone out of the window though with the inclusion of some of the female participants.

“Female “ being used to describe appearance.

I didn't see the bout I think you were referring to but I was talking to my mate yesterday and he could not believe the fight was not stopped .... and that the fight even started in the first place. If he wants a medal all a male has to do is wear a dress! :mad:
 
What a silly girl Molly Caudery is, she has been a sensation in pole vault this season with a world best @ 4.92m, chose to enter the competition @ 4.55m and failed all 3 vaults while 20 competitors qualified for the next round with vaults of 4.20m and 4.30m.

It’s hard to keep up with how other nations are doing overall because there is so much going on. But I’m glad you guys are as happy with your results as I am with ours. Big International Sporting events seem to be the only time all nations come together. There is a lot to learn from that!
