She's a sexist dinosaur. I'm looking at Deniece Lewis and thinking, "what a lovely dress".

Yes I will reprimand her later ;)

Johnson looks mustard tonight.

Joined this thread a bit late, are we doing cluedo puns? I was cleaning the conservatory

I can’t do any sport now, but before things progressed as they have, I went golfing (full 18) three times over the course of 20 years and did not enjoy it any of the times. Perhaps my mind would have changed if I had gotten older but still had some mobility, but I think I just didn’t enjoy the inactivity and waiting. Now that I am forced in to inactivity, the last thing I want to do is watch others experiencing it.

Like me, I can’t do any sport now. If I hadn’t got seriously ill back in 2014 I’m sure I’d be doing something.

One for the pub trivia loving Americans (or just Handegg aficionados) : Vashti Cunningham, who is competing for the Women’s High Jump podium is the daughter of (and is coached by) NFL great QB Randall Cunningham.

Honestly wish they’d bring back tug-of-war to the Olympics. That would be an absolutely insane event now.

Much more of a legitimate sport than golf, or a few others currently included.

That’s a great video with a great sound track. I had no idea Great Britain were world champions. Let’s get it as an Olympic sport! Look at the size of the GB coach, he should be anchoring!

I am very sorry to hear you are in a similar position. At least we can still watch and talk shite about it!

The first video is very interesting, as well, showing when it was still in the Olympics.

Genuinely would love a return for it, especially as I reckon GB would have a decent chance of winning gold.

I think so yes, although I don’t follow rugby league so not sure

I'm not a big follower of it either, but come October, it's constantly on Sky Sports News.

My wife has just contributed to 8 days of Olympics by saying wow those shorts are tight!

Was she watching the men's pole vault
