Rio Olympic Games 2016

Murray through.

Anyone watching the womens' fooball?  Sweden v USA.  5 mins from the end of extra time, USA have possible winner ruled out for a foul, rightly in my opinion.  Sweden go up the other end and the ball gets crossed in to the centre forward in an onside position but then strays into an off-side position.  The US defender makes a pigs ear of clearing the ball and it spins to the Swedish player who says thank you very much and scores a perfectly legal goal only for the stupid lineswoman to flag it for offside.

Now gone to penalties.

Fucking dressage again!!!

It's a red button thing surely, not prime time?

It's not a sport. Impressive control of the horse, but it's posh wanker bollocks. Fuck it off prime time. So boring as well. Even the commentators sound bored.

I think they are only showing it because the British posho is pretty much nailed on for a gold medal

USA out on penalties to Sweden.  Bit of an upset there.

I think that's the first time the US Ladies have ever failed to win gold in sahker.

Silver medal for Britain in the team stripeless zebra taunting. Also in with a chance of a medal in the trampolining.

Bryony Page has a medal in the trampolining. Crying her eyes out! I didn't even know this was in the Olympics!

[cdbearsfan]

Finished with a silver medal.

Katie Johnson - Thompson doing brilliant in the heptathlon high jump....just gone clear at 1.95.
Jess went out at 1.92
Only 2 girls left in i think, A Belgian & KJT...the belgian gone clear as well.

The Belgian was lucky not be DQ in hurdles. Wrong card issued for the False start. Given a Yellow conduct card, should have been Yellow and Black. As it was 2nd FS she could have been DQ. Wrong interpretation of IAAF rule 162.8

Team GB through to the final with a world record time in the cycling team pursuit. Hopefully they can carry that through to the final, I'd like to see Wiggins get another gold.

Unless they fall off they should win comfortably.

and then Kenny and Skinner looked strong in the individual races as well, cycling looks like it's going to be another good source of medals this year and heptathlon looks good again.  Add the rowing and it just shows success breeds success.

I'm enjoying watching sports that I wouldn't usually watch, like Judo and Trampolining. It's a change from my usual diet of football, cricket and rugby.

Yeah that's why I'd love them to add things like cricket but also extend it out to 3 or 4 weeks so a lot more of the 'niche' sports can get prime time coverage.  The gymnastics has been superb and we've watched archery, table tennis and badminton (me and the kids). I wish we'd had time to catch things like the judo which has always fallen behind something else.
