CBL3, jim! Those geriatrics in the East Stand have to be escorted to and from their seats.

All the hip young (ish) folks are in CBL3, then?

 

[MCFC1993]

Well done Lizzie Bird, qualifies for the 3000m steeplechase final, snatched a qualifying place on the line.

They're definitely hip, most of 'em replacements, but I dunno about young!

Do the refreshment kiosks up there sell Werther's Originals and Sanatogen multivitamins?

Equaliser, India can only park the bus.

I saw the conclusion of the first set of beach volleyball between China and Switzerland. Thought it would go on for the rest of the morning!!
Who won? I had a FT call from my sister in French France so missed the rest. :-)
Thanks for the help. :-)

Switzerland won, Eccles

Switzerland won Eccles

Not much of a prize, is it? I mean to say; Eccles? They could have made it Prestbury.

Chief Constable. No; not c**tstable!

I’d ban every fucker who makes that cringy heart gesture with their hands, not just in the Olympics but in all sports, and in all walks of life. I’d start with Son of spurs

Like watching City! Completely dominating and their keeper is having a worldie

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Mens hockey were a bit crap weren't they? Awful.

They don't jim, I get kitted out before I've left the blue car park - Werther's in pocket, no bleeps at security, and then a pie 'n Bovril. It's all part of the gymnastics training!

BBC Olympic coverage is truly shocking as already mentioned by others on here.

Just getting ready to watch the Mens 110m Hurdles and they switch to boxing.

They do not have enough options on their iPlayer.

No in Prestbury they get the Foden family parties and end up complaining to the police!! Eccles is much better. :-)

Thank you @BringBackSwales for the information. I’m glad Switzerland won. :-)

 

[Protein Junkie]

Big shock!

Defending Olympic champion Hansle Parchment will be relying on the repechage rounds to book himself a place in the semi-finals of the men's 110m hurdles.

So much for being good on paper :-)

Need Discovery+/Eurosport for this and the next couple of Olympics.

Eurosport 1 has had the athletics all morning.

These dancing horses are cracking me up. Is this an actual sport???

 

[MCFC1993]

Bol and Mclaughlin through comfortably, I am rooting for Bol, her attitude and enjoyment for racing are much better for the sport.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

What a complete embarrasment to man and beast...walking round a parade whilst listening to Edith Piaf. What's it all about.
