A lot of people slagging the golfers but 5 or 6 hours a day for 4 days, with one gold medal to be won. Gymnastics has far too many gold medals available (and it’s soppy and boring as fuck, full of people who need a bacon butty)

Enjoyed the golf, but when it's not the pinnacle of the sport it still feels wrong to be an event. I think a lot of them were more positive about it afterwards but the Olympics should be your crowning moment and in golf you'd still rather win a major than the Olympics. Football shouldn't be in it, especially when it's an U23 tournament but for a few over age players. Gymnastics is shown way too much. Team all around. Individual all around. Then individual apparatus. Too many medals.

Agree about golf and football, same with tennis, but once it’s in then it’s a huge amount of effort for one gold. Gymnastics is fucking awful and completely overdone by the bbc
 
The commentators knowledge is poor too. In the mixed triathlon this morning the gb girl was well ahead in the cycling and according to the commentators she was a miles better runner than the other 2 and they wouldn’t get close. Look how that turned out
 
Gold medal men’s singles Badminton match has turned in to a coronation for the Danish player.

His Thai competitor just has no answers for anything. Getting absolutely crushed.
