[Other Sport] Paris 2024 Olympics & Paralympics ***Official Match Thread***

[Flounce]

Done a lot better than I expected. But then again I thought he retired five years ago.

Had a shit load of very serious injuries requiring surgery. I think I walk better than him now and I’m considerably older

Retirement coming up now

This is quite sad to watch, absolute mullering

Yeah he looks like he's one ankle strain from being eligble for the Paralympics

Too much f***ing lobbing

Regrettably I do actually agree with some that the BBC coverage hasn’t been great this year. It seems they spend an interminable amount of time in the (really nice) studio and not enough time actually covering the events.

Auntie normally delivers with these big events, the BBC are the safest pair of hands possible and usually superb, but I don’t know if it’s a budget thing or what, it just feels very thin in content.

BBC coverage is 20% Olympics & 80% discussion.

And as for showing the shooting. Why? We couldn't even see the clays!

They found their feet a bit too late tonight. Gave the Americans too much of a head start.

Thank you Andy, some fantastic memories over a brilliant career.

Balding's blubbing.

It’s French tv coverage so the BBC has no control.

Absolutely incredible

 

[crodonilson]

Ole! Ole! Ole!

How good is Beth Shriever?

Magnificent

Andy Murray loves tennis. Most players with his medical record would have quit at least two years ago. Fair play, we knew he was a good tennis player but his grit and determination are second to none.

Thank you Andy for all the great memories and for putting Britain back on the tennis map.

Don't really get the criticism of the BBC here. If you want to "choose" what events you particularly want to watch (there's many events on apparently!) you have to pay for Discovery+ and Eurosport. The BBC hasn't the budget and the Olympics isn't protected like the WC. I've been quite happy flicking between the two live streams on iplayer. Accept that or pay up.

No the bbc should pay up , and give us decent coverage, it hardly shows any live sport nowadays,
if it does not want to pay let ITV OR CHANNEL 4 take over

BBC don’t want to pay the going rate , so we are getting very poor coverage

But then the BBC haters would moan that they spent too much when most licence fee payers don’t watch the Olympics.
