Just watching some swimming but they are showing some ladies football penalty shoot out. One of the ladies is called Minge



Childish I know ;)

You've got to be dead from the neck up to not find that a bit funny.

Same as the BMX racing. Why so many races before a one off final?

I can't take to that sport, it's basically whoever gets to the first bend first wins.

Yeah, the number of races acknowledge how much luck is involved in winning any one. Having loads of races gets rid of the luck element, but then they bring it back for the final.

Every time I get in front of the telly to watch a 'niche' sport they find another ten swimming events. If they kick out swimming it'd be over 'n done with in an afternoon!

Really disappointing with the bbc I thought the point of i-player was you could watch events you have missed.
Can't find the men's road race anywhere. It's all bloody swimming and athletes

Not sure what the issue is there. She wasn't taking part in the race; why would she need to be in the warm up area?

She was taking part, she wasn't allowed in the warm up area as they'd changed the entrance rules and she allegedly hasn't been told.

France 1-0 down to Brazil.


Naturally, 16 mins have just been added. Hilarious.

16 mins injury time in France v Brazil football. SIXTEEN! Even the commentators are querying it. France are losing 1-0
