Albertlegend Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Just watched half an hour of skateboarding, 25 mins of guys falling in their arse, I have no idea the difference between the tricks that do land to get the scores they do and Jagger Eaton looks like a cock! Perfect Olympic sport! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Superb solo performance from Kiesenhoffer to win Gold in the women's road race . A huge shock given the strength of the Dutch team. I know things are different compared to a pro race and IIRC they don't have radios etc, but it appears the Dutch were oblivious to the fact that the Austrian was miles up the road on her own. Annemiek van Vleuten broke away late on to take second and initially thought she had won gold.Kiesenhoffer is an amateur too which makes it all the more remarkable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the woman who beat Jade Jones she'd moved to Germany and wanted to represent them due to her disapproval of the Iranian regime, but had to make do with the refugee team instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the least BBC have shown since Athens. It's because the IOC sold the rights for all of Europe to Discovery. They then sublicensed the ability to have two streams to BBC. I wouldn't mind but they are showing Salford fluff whilst medal matches are happening. And then pretending events are happening live on BBC1 when they happened 10 minutes ago . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's kind of out of their control because if the IOC deal with Discovery. It will be the same in three years for Paris 2024 when events will be happening in primetime in UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Gold medal favourite John Rahm out of the golf after his second positive covid test in two months. First two PCR tests were negative, third and final one returned a positive. Not enough time for Spain to send a replacement, Patrick Reed taking DeChambeau's spot on the US team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
