It wasn’t in 1907 and it won’t be in 2649. In 2649 there will just be BBC1 and STV/Grampian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, plenty of road rash after that, will be bone dry by the time the men race later on. A home win for Cassandre Beaugrand with bronze for Beth Potter. The swim looked ridiculously hard, when they turned at the far end to come back into the current they looked like they were treading water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WullieBroonIsGod Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Another Scottish medal. Bronze for Beth Potter. I know all of these athletes at the games are elite in their own way, but I am especially in awe of the triathletes. Absolute machines 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Bloody hell. The New Zealand boy had a look of “where the f**k did you come from?” about him as Yee went past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 That's two coming-from-behind golds for GB this morning. Yee in the triathlon, and now the women's quad sculls - in a photo-finish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Another boxing bout, and another defeat for a British boxer who won the contest but couldn't win over the judges. Chantelle Reid deserved a lot better, and there's a bit of a pattern here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Just watching the BMX Freestyle stuff. These 2 idiots commentating are verging on incoherent. So far we’ve had “the conscious brain switches off” and a “nobody wins if someone doesn’t complete”. f**k off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I've never agreed with the idea of a "medal table" for these games. It is individuals and teams in disparate competitions. Some nations are tremendous at some events (eg South Korea winning the women's archery for 10 games in a row) and utter bobbins at others. This "table" makes a false equivalence that somehow all nations are competing with each other at all events. And it generates headlines like this pish. USA are lagging in the Olympic gold medal table. Should American fans panic? Panic? About not winning "enough" medals? This isn't the spirit of the games, sorry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suspect the governing bodies(and that usually means direct or indirect national government) who spend an absolute fortune incentivising athletes and who target funding of sports based on their likelihood to get medals would completely disagree. If they don't think they're getting value for money for the spending then that comes with massive consequences 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
