lichtie23 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 What a let down it is when you go to beach volleyball on the red button and it's blokes. Were you all set with the tissues by the bed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamdunk Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Did anyone catch the weightlifting last night? There was a Kazakhstan boy who was stomping about like the bushwhackers and his coaches seemed like they were from a 3 stooges film. He won bronze XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Quite a few fourth places for Britain so far. Maybe the boost of home advantage gave us a nudge up last time out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kejan Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I am enjoying it, and I'm probably moaning for the sake of it, plus it is the BBC. The constant wee jabs at 'Russia bad, Blighty good' are grating and arrogant - of course let's gloss over the missed British drug tests, and thank god for the red button, but too much "Here's Johnny Britain who has finished a respectful 61st in the jousting competition'' on the main channels over the likes of Djoko-Del Potro, Swiss-Aussie beach volleyball. The Rugby Sevens bronze medal match was quite funny to follow - from the ''we've got a great chance of a medal'' to Woodward saying smashed, destroyed etc over and over. Can't really warm to 'Team GB' though. Good luck to the athletes, but too much bunting, 'oh, jolly/golly, we are Brits and best' pish from the media ruining it. Kosovo claiming a gold was fantastic stuff. Same with the Brazillian lassie in the judo. Hopefully see some wee nations pick up a medal. Wonder if Kirabati have a chance? Or if that event is already over? He won a gold at the Commonwealth Games. Enjoying the swimming, water polo, handball, and football so far - good old Fiji scoring a goal has to be the highlight and leading right up to half-time.

Salvo Montalbano Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 The BBC coverage has been a bit annoying to be fair. Constantly changing channels (for stuff like Eastenders as well), the non-live live action (events being trailed as live but actually 5 or so minutes after the radio coverage and apparently Five live have been tweeting results spoiling the TV coverage for those who follow them on twitter) and having those stupid animal animations at the start of every different section are such stupidly simple things to fix.

Guest Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Japan very nearly Scotland'd it. Had to win a line out to win and over threw it. Managed to survive the overtime onslaught... just. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, whilst we've had a few close misses, I think we're doing better at this stage than we were in London. He won a silver in London at the C2 (another British pair won gold) so hopefully that'll go better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Although the schedules may not be identical - at the close of the Tuesday at London 2012 we had 2 Silvers (Armitstead & Team Gymnastics) and 2 Bronze (Addlington & Equestrian Eventing). So we are ahead of that by a Gold over a Silver, with the day unfinished... That said there's been quite a number of 4th place finishes so far - at home, maybe those become Bronze. Perhaps to illustrate that, these were the only 4th places at London 2012: * Lawrence Clarke, 110m hurdles * Dai Greene, 400m hurdles * 4x 400m relay * Daley & Waterfield, 10m synchro diving * Men's Hockey * 4x 100m medley relay * Kerrie-Anne Payne, 10km open-water * Lizzie Simmonds, 200m backstroke = 8 Only a couple of days into Rio and total is already: * Richard Kruse * Team Gymnastics * James Guy * Max Lichfield * Hannah Miley * Women's Rugby 7s = 6 At home the extra atmosphere, support, adrenaline etc. helps people over the line.
