How these girls do anything on the beam is a mystery to me! They are solid chunks of wood and must be so painful to land on if you get it slightly wrong!

I was a gymnast at school and i hate the beam , if you slipped and did the splits , landing on yer minge you walked like john wayne for a week ,lol

Apparently he punched his opponent and broke her nose straight away that’s why she stopped fighting, bloody joke if true, any other woman facing him shouldn’t risk injury just give him a buy and not bother getting on the podium in protest.

Just heard that the beach volleyball between USA and Brazil was going to a 3rd set.
Switched on tv and found out its men.
What's that all about,?

Each of tomorrow's men's 1500m heats has 15 runners, that's too many, expect fall's.

Expect appeals as well, ridiculous, should be an extra heat at least.

Jospeh Clarke going for gold now in the K1 Canoe Slalom, he's last to go. Olympic Champion in Rio, chance to do it again.

Saw footage of the previous bout involving Imane, the poor opponent was a bloody pulp with huge swelling.

So that's where you got your walk from...

Will the bookies take bets on Imane Khelif ? Because I think he's got a chance of winning.

Missed out on a medal, 5th place, couple of errors cost him.

Is that the bloke who identifies as a woman in boxing?

 

[BringBackSwales]

Lost 3 and 1.

Bottlers. Andy Murray such an exception, a British tennis player with bottle

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Lots of armchair experts out there.

When ever I watch the Olympics it always seems to me as if it's too easy to win a load of medals in swimming. If you are good at swimming you generally seem to be good at most swimming styles over most distances. And there are a huge ammount of medals to go for, dare I say many more than other sports?

Seems similar to a lot of individual sports were you get one or two who are vastly superior to the rest and win everything like tennis.
