Tokyo 2020 Olympics/Paralympics

Do the BBC show any athletics? Just catching up this morning and pretty sure athletics started last night and DAS ran in her first heats in the women’s 100 but absolutely zero mention of any athletics on the BBC coverage.

Bit odd, isn't it? I think the emphasis in the breakfast programme and then the 9 am show is to start with the medal-winning.

Half an hour yet before the football, and that overlaps with some longer athletics heats later on.

10.00 - GB women's football QF vs Australia
10.30 - GB women's rugby sevens QF vs USA

Awkward clash

Yeah, but the footy is like watching City!

Looks like the rugby's going to be delayed a little due to thunderstorms.

Watch the football and just flick over to the rugby, simple

Did I just hear the commentator say there are EIGHT Man City players?

Just got caught up on the BMX racing, phenomenal from both our riders. Bethany Shriever is from Manchester as well.

her back story regarding funding is a tale of great fortitude and steely determination - a gold medal absolutely won with hard work

Just saw some of the boxing. No head protection - I thought it was mandatory in amateur / Olympic boxing?

You did, it's a disgrace, there are 10 in the squad. Typical anti-City bias.
