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

There's a lot of "sports" that shouldn't be anywhere near the Olympics. And that is certainly one of them.

These dancing horses might end up on a French menu somewhere.

Was someone riding a horse called Jaegerbomb?

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.

The i-player is awful I can't find any coverage of the men's road race.

Jesus christ been away from my firestick for a couple of hours what the actual fuck is the BBC's coverage all about. Tommy Fleetwood going for a medal in the golf and we are watching a women's cycling race with 120km to go until the finish line.

When and why did golf become an Olympic ‘sport’!!?

I'm flicking between golf and Djokovic/Alcaraz in the tennis.
Wife just said " I thought you going watching the olympics"

Jesse Owens, Chariots of Fire, Olga Korbut, Kip Keino.
Those were the good old days.
