The Games of the XXXI Olympiad

[Pavilionaire]

The GB Olympic Cycling Team is probably the most successful team this country has ever produced, a joy to watch.

and if they're going to win the events they have no right to win, a haul may well be on the cards.

Yeah that one was definitely a bonus. Top, top stuff.

What we're also seeing is their influence over the other teams, esp swimming, where there's been a lot of cross over with the coaches.

It'll set up the whole team, esp as it's coupled with no Aussie medal and a frankly bizarre ride by them in the team pursuit.

The GB egg chasers are up against it here

More than all over here, can we throw in the towel?

 

[Blackadder]

We went over a minute without conceding!

 

[Blackadder]

29-0 at HT. Time to get on GB LARGE?

 

[Sheebo]

Last 2 days have been fantastic - turned it around after a slow start. The track cycling really could give us a huge boost in the medals table

Fiji far too strong in the tackle, offloading the ball on most occasions having taken out a GB tackler.

Fiji - the best team in the 7s by far. But GB have done really well to take a silver medal.

A great tournament overall. Having watched and coached 7s in Dubai, it's definitely worth its place in the Olympics.

All of that. Fair play to Fiji, easily the best team in the tournament. First ever Olympic medal for them

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Well done Fiji, best side won.

Hats off GB, unexpected silver.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Well done Fiji, awesome ability.

 

[whitelion]

Totally outplayed. Well done Fiji on first Olympic medal.

Fiji are historically so good at 7s as they never had enough players on the island to properly focus on 15 a side.

With magical handling skills, they are definitely the purists choice.

Really enjoyed the rugby 7's and it looks like the players did too.

Does anyone think Olympic Football might benefit from being a similar format, e.g 5 a side?

Should ditch football, and replace with futsal.

Or not being there at all.

As has been said a thousand times already, qualification for an Olympic sport should be fairly simple:-

'Would winning Olympic gold be the very pinnacle of that sport?'

Yes - You're in.
No - fook off.

So you're ditching not just football, rugby, golf and tennis, but also road cycling, sailing, boxing...
