I used to think that but have changed my mind. Let all the sports in. I wouldn't mind an extra week or two of Olympics.

I agree, lets use it as a festival to showcase all sports and make it a little longerso that all sports get a decent amount of coverage.  I'd add T20 for a start.

First ever diving gold and an excellent bronze for Max Whitlock in the PE.

Being a teacher is now an Olympic sport?

No, but running and jumping about in your vest and pants is.

It was indeed an excellent bronze. The commentators here decided it as the Olympics best ever Men’s Individual All-around Gymnastics with all winners finishing with over 90 points.

Twenty20 should be the first sport added. It would be a wonderful spectacle and add hundreds of millions of extra fans in a very short space of time.

Rugby 7's concludes later doesn't it? Escaping work shortly so wouldn't mind watching that. And does the indoor cycling start today?

Sounds like a decent night's sport. Couple of Pakistan wickets followed by half a dozen GB golds, please.

Just making it interesting! I hope Konta gets a medal. A massive plus for "birds" tennis if so.
