Climbing walls is an Olympic sport? I’d much rather watch Boules, which I don’t believe is? This is shit…imo :shrug:

Big crowd seem to love it though. Bloody boring to me

The Skateboarding was exceptional, the final run improvements were superb, each rider putting pressure on the next and eliciting a response. Brilliant and such a genuine Olympic spirit between all the competitors. This was the content we came here for.
Awesome skills from such young participants, no fear

Loving the skateboarding atm………atmosphere between the girls is just fantastic, all just living their best lives. Never seen so much smiling amongst competing sportspeople.

That's been a bit indicative of a lot of the sports I thought. A lot of good sportsmanship.

i understand the reasons why (money) but I am very disappointed in BBC coverage so far. With only two live channels (one on Iplayer) they keep having to chop and change. Its very hard to get a feel for anything. Its almost just a succession of GB highlights. Take the track cycling for example- they show one heat, come away, show something else entirley, go back and show a catch up of what s been missed. show soething live, and repeat . its difficult to get "into" it

Men's Team Sprint - Silver. 🥈

Losing to a WR isn't too bad though.
