Tokyo 2020 Olympics/Paralympics

Wait, the Olympic cames have started?
I really should turn on the TV one of these days.
 
Can’t work up any enthusiasm for these games, unusual for me.
Hardly any ‘out of competition’ testing around the world in the last 18 months also takes the edge of it even further for me.
There will no doubt be even more ‘out of this world’ performances than normal.
 
Saturday 24th July

All start times listed below are in BST, which is 8 hours behind local time in Japan.

Most of the action should be available on BBC or Discovery+.

11 golds available today but only 4 for Team GB; Archery, Cycling (Road), Judo & Shooting. 1 medal chance in each except for Cycling (Road), where there is a possibility of multiple medals, unlikely though.

- Sineod McIntosh finishes 12th out of 50 in the Women's 10m air rifle, only top 8 make the final. Only 0.095 between her average and 1st's, ridiculously close. She choked the last shot which could have qualified her, she averaged 10.45 and shot 9.3 on her last shot, 10.6 would have put her through.

- Setback in the rowing as favourites Helen Glover and Polly Swann now have to row in the repecharge to progress.

- Upset in the mixed team archery, Team GB beats China to make to the quarter final, BBC yet to show a minute of it. Shown plenty of Denmark-Japan mixed double badminton though...

Are they gonna show the whole of this road race? Over 6 hours apparently.
Probably, cycling gets big numbers in the UK and there's a chance of a medal, plus a crowd and the iconic Mount Fuji. Not great for the other sports though, as they are only using BBC 1 and the red button.

I'll probably get discovery+ for the month to get a wider range.
 
First gold goes to China, surprise surprise.


Women's 10m Air Rifle Final:
Yang Qian (China)
Anastasiia Galashina (Russian Olympic Committee)
Nina Christen (Switzerland)


Good to see that Russian Olympic ban working.
