I get that they don't have rights but I don't understand why they're reshowing the swimming team painting each other, it was fing annoying and boring the first time

Ah, would that be why all we are seeing is swimming? If so this really us a monumental cock up by the Olympics ruling body. Surely they should be ensuring maximum coverage by national TV companies by making the price affordable. Have they killed the Golden Goose ?

They do the same in Canada. What a stupid way to do a medal table. As if a bronze counts the same as a gold.

Exactly. By their logic 100 bronze medals would be better than 99 golds.

From the CBC website:

"The International Olympic Committee organises the medal table by medal stature, placing in first that country with the most gold medals. CBC’s focus is on the athlete’s journey, so we rank countries by total medals won."


Oh, do f*** off. I think the "journey" to a gold medal is a bigger deal than silver or bronze.

Currently 10-9 in the Murray/Evans match tiebreak.

3rd match point....and they take it! Through to the QF!

Tough potential match next against 3rd seeds Fritz/Paul from the USA. But you never know...

Mint from Murray and Evans. Well done chaps.
And well done the swimmers. That was a good couple of minutes.
