I'm not an expert on mountain biking, but I would think having one's back wheel fall apart is a bad thing.

Fingers crossed, SWE-Rissveds going for a medal. The first french girl looking to strong but the other two …

 

[Swegulls]

F***, truble with one tyre

 

[TomandJerry]

Ouch that would have hurt!

Ouch that would have hurt!

Yep, looked a nasty one.

 

[Swegulls]

It would be hard to walk that course!

Prevot must be a machine!

Any Brits to look out for in badminton nowadays? As far as I remember you were (and some random Danes) the only ones to keep up with the Asians. Gilks and Gowers springs to mind.

The archery between China and South Korea was intense.

The women's Archery was good - came down to the last arrow with Korea winning for the 10th games on the trot! Not sure why all the contestant's faces were covered in white foundation though.

Olympic tennis is such a loads of old bollocks though.

For the vast amount of athletes at the games, they’ve been training and building up to this one moment for 4 years.

For the tennis players, this isn’t even their biggest event THIS month.

f*** ‘em of out of it, along with the golfers, the footballers and the rugby players.

Exactly this.

I watch those sports you mention regularly, and they’ve given me an immense amount of joy. (Murray’s slams and the Ryder cup etc) but the Olympics is not a place for these mainstream sports and multi-millionaires.

There is something amazing about watching relatively unknown people in niche sports, that they’ve trained for years for, relying solely on funding competing for medals for their countries and that spirit has to remain at the core.

Bronze for GB&NI in women's canoe slalom.

Incredible start for team GB at the games continues. Kim Woods, unbelievable.

Cheered when Funk hit that fence, brilliant stuff and a real fun sport to watch

Anyway, it’s Andy Murray time…
