Rio Olympic Games 2016

[ACVilla]

Bizarre reports emerging regarding Ryan Lochte and his teammates.

Despite some fantastic individual performances and great successes for us I'm afraid this Olympics will go down as one of the worst in living memory.

Roll on Tokyo 2020.

Relating to the gunpoint robbery?  Sounds well dodgy, CCTV at the Olympic Village blows a hole in their story allegedly.

Yes John. The stories emerging don't make sense. Then reports coming that Lochte and a teammate were not allowed to leave the country but had apparantly left two days earlier but two other teammates had been detained at the airport on their way home.

Despite generally being good at sport the BBC have been shite for the Olympics.

Watching the hockey tonight and ey must have switched channels twice. Why don't they just show the whole bloody game on one channel and stick with it.

It feels like they have been bought by ITV.

Yes it 's been poor. I'm sure they would have had a few complaints if they had, say, made BBC2 the dedicated Olympics channel, all the main coverage on there, no switching, but surely they would have been allowed to for an event that only happens every four years?

I think it has been improving (or I'm getting used to it). The coverage on the iPlayer is the way to go for me.

It's not great having to switch channels but I do have some sympathy, 7000 hours of sport and the BBC is showing over 3000 hours of it.

And they also made the sensible decision to push the 10pm news back while we watched Kenny make history. They got that right, at least.

Yeah I think the BBC have done a decent job really, I've been using iplayer rather than sticking to the schedule.

My only complaint is that I'd like them to have everything available on catchup, all neatly organised by sport and date so if you want to go back and watch, for example, the race where the dutch girl road along the wall (which was fucking brilliant) then you can easily find it.

Shocking isn't it, they don't deserve to retain the rights. Even Sky with their continuous adverts would do better. Hugely dissapointed in the BBC.

I strongly disagree that Sky would be better.  It would be a disaster for sport in the UK.  Part of the beauty of the Olympics is that the BBC allows pretty much everyone to have access to it which is vital for the minority sports.  I appreciate that I've twisted your words slightly there as you're referring to the quality of the coverage rather than the merits of the actual broadcaster (apologies).

In defence of the BBC - from a coverage perspective - I think it's best enjoyed via the iPlayer app and BBC website rather than watching the traditional  BBC1/BBC2 TV channels.  It's the same for Glastonbury too.

Have any newspapers reported on the alternative theories?  I'd be interested to read if links are available.

I haven't read anything apart from what is being reported mainstream but it's all just a little bit strange, not least the American officials initially stating they hadn't been mugged and then changing their official line to they had.

Brownlee brothers first and second in the Triathlon.  Great achievements both.

Absolute dedication to their chosen sport. A credit to this country.

Oh dear it looks like they have been found out. Not good for the USA.
