You do know the dad is a Fred the guy off First Dates on CH4Agreed, 100%. The achievement that the medal is a symbol of is absolutely outstanding. I can't begin to imagine what the feeling must be like to stand on that podium (any step). Just watching those girls that won the bronze in the synchro diving being interviewed, and one of the interviewers is the dad of one of the girls. You'd have to have a heart of stone not to find that emotional.

Also noticed that everyone sings the national anthem unlike footballers at the Euros.

Mate the skills they have on those bikes, takes some balls to do it.Will he dressed in a hoodie, back to front baseball cap and tracksuit bottoms (tucked into his socks, obviously)?

Yee was fantastic, great running at the end.
Wilde was great throughout, amazing he does all his training by himself
Did the other team GBR finish or just pull out altogether?
Though the comms team were a little poor

Yes, but he represents NI in the Commonwealth games. Go figure. :-)Doesn’t the Irish gold medalist swimmer come from NI but chose to compete for Ireland?

I think he basically paces it out to get Yee in a good position, after about 500m in the run he pulled out, he’s part of the relay team.Yee was fantastic, great running at the end.

The commentators/presenters maybe.....like 5 times an hour. Maybe they get a bonus payment for mentioning it? ;-)did you know that they have a piece of the Eiffel Tower in them?
I think someone mentioned it.

Seen three GB boxers and all three have been on the arse end of a shit decision. To think that boxing is on the verge of being kicked out of the Olympics because of such things.

Ahh thanks BM.
Crazy knowing all that work to do that around then
I love it all to be honest, I can get into any sport when we have a competitive interest in it. The Olympics is the greatest sporting event in my opinion.Not a fan then?
