Crewton Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Great moment for Ukraine with Gold and Bronze in the women's high jump. Take a bow Yaroslava Mahuchikh and Iryna Gerashchenko. DenmarkRam and Comrade 86 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Git Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 (edited) No VAR in the trap shooting may have robbed the English woman Amber Rutter of the gold medal. She hit both clays in one section, but despite protesting, was only given one hit. This was in the final to decide the gold medal. She got silver!

EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 The bbc is only showing a small amount of the Olympics. I am not sure if it will be available on iplayer but if you have got 10mins to kill try to catch the basketball 3x3 final. Its Like rugby sevens on speed.

StaffsRam Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Great start at the velodrome, how good were our women sprinters? 3 rides, 3 world records and the gold! Anag Ram, Alph, angieram and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 BBC coverage can be really weird sometimes. It's a bit like F1 on channel 4 when they seem to think people are more interested in the presenters and pundits. I thought we were going to miss the Pole Vault World record because of the repetitive punditry. Anyway, another good day. 1 gold behind 3rd place Australia. 42 medals in total and had a few dodgy decisions against us. Obviously have to give some medals back though if all the 2nd generation Brits get deported by the "natives" so the introduction of brick throwing for the LA games is a must.

It’s because Discovery has most of the rights this time. (Which you can get free with sky, if the sign up website actually works - it didn’t when I tried at the weekend) Alph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Yeah, Discovery+. We don't have Sky so we just paid £3.99 for a month and then cancelled. A bit galling when the Beeb have traditionally shown quite a lot for free, but on Discovery you can watch anything you like for the duration and at the end of the day £4 ain't too bad for the privilege. It was the same for Tokyo, Discovery had the wall-to-wall rights and the Beeb could only show two events simultaneously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
