Tokyo 2020 Olympics/Paralympics

Fair play sounds like a good choice for you if you like the road racing. I normally get the Eurosport pass for the Le Mans 24 hour race week but I consider that quite a niche event so don't mind paying a little to watch it without any issues.

The Olympics is meant to be the biggest thing in sport though, yet it's mostly hidden away on a couple of apps?

Yes, good for motor sport too isn’t it. Plus tennis, winter sports, lots really.

Yeah, but all the “non-niche” stuff if you wanna call it that, won’t be hidden away, it’ll be on free to air still. You’re right it terms of % of total sports content, but the % of most watchable events will be high on bbc. I think that’s the model anyway. Still something like 20 hours on bbc each day I reckon.

(edit - remembering the Moscow Olympics as a kid - think we had about 6 hours a day in total!)

Yee looking very good, definitely getting a medal.

Brownlee needs to hang in there and hope 1 or 2 of these have gone too soon.

Silver for Yee, the Norwegian had too much.

The Norwegian pissed it at the end.

Yee looks a prospect. Fair play to Heston. His experience shone through.

 

[RandomJ]

Pushed himself so hard he threw up at the end. Mad bastards.

Great effort from Yee. He’ll only be 26 come the next Olympics too.

That looked unbelievable though, the way the Norwegian winner ran/sprinted away from the other two in the finale there, esp in those conditions.

It's a tough event, half of them look like they need to go to hospital.

Yeah feel sorry for those that nearly killed themselves and end up going home empty handed.
