The Games of the XXXI Olympiad

[Triggaaar]

Wow. That was pretty bloody fast. Over one and a half seconds ahead of the rest, smashing his own WR, again.

Just heard the commentary of the Peaty race on 5Live, Had to turn the radio off as John Hunt ( Horse Racing Commentator ) seems to have been given swimming commentary and he is annoyingly over the top and shouty.

Jazz Carlin took a very creditable silver in the 400m freestyle swimming.

Got to say that was extremely impressive from Peaty. For a 100m race he demolished a high class field.

Scotland lose the tennis.

Lost the doubles, but we still have a British player in the singles. Djokovic is already out.

Indeed.

And Djokovic's tears after losing shows how much it means - any sceptics wondering what tennis is doing in Olympics should see this.

Murrays losing doubles means both will probably play in mixed - likely Konta/A Murray combo, which looks potentially a medal possibility.

Yes, there's something not quite right with Novak at the moment. He exited Wimbledon early, and knocked out of the Olympics in the first round.

Yeah, but won Rogers Cup in Toronto to be first player ever to win 30 ATP tournaments - dont write him off yet. US Open will be acid test as to whether the king is dead, IMO.

I doubt he's dead, but definitely having a wobble. He refused to discuss it at Wimbledon, so wonder if there's a health issue.

Possible, also wonder whether he has got all he can get from Boris too, perhaps needs a new coach; think he will deffo get one if fails to win US Open.

Jazz Carling? Sounds more like a chilled night out than an athlete.

Why is the Hockey Pitch dark blue?

Why is the Hockey Pitch dark blue?

To make hockey 'more visually appealing' apparently.

Was enjoying the women's rugby 7's until it became 7v5... pointless

 

[Prince Monolulu]

We could have 9 on the pitch here and they'd still be too strong.

Well done Ed Ling.

Gold, Silver and Bronze now for GB.

Mens gymnastics team final now starting on BBC 4

These trunks on the divers are a tad snug.
