Adopt a Kenyan or Ethiopian!!

Can't do it...not interested unless you have GB on your chest. May seem unsporting, but I can't raise any interest in foreigers...unless they have a good back story that I can empathise with.

Presumably Lochte was doing an insurance scam....puts a cheap price on his honour.

Coe will always be a hero to me. Out of nowhere, we had Coe, Ovett and a little later Cram. For a brief time we ruled the world in 800 and 1500m...Coe and Ovett were just swapping world records. What we wouldn't do to be that good again.

Coe was one of my sporting heroes when I was a boy. I tend to switch away when I see him now

Alistair Brownlee should be put through an x-ray machine.

He is Steve Austin...

Brownlee walks home for Gold and Brownlee gets Silver. Well done boys!

Terrific one and two in the triathlon. Pleased that Jonathan got a silver...lost it in London due to a mistake. Well done, lads.

First ever bronze medal in badminton men's doubles!

Badminton was/is dominated by Asian countries. We used to turn up with decent county players and lose badly to elite athletes. Players now taking it more seriously....once again due to funding.

Our strongest rider crashed in the BMX, looks pretty disoriented. Not sure if he'll be participating in run 2 or 3.

It's the "Phillips (GB) competes" milestone thing on the player.

Yeah, he's dropped out. Wonder if he's concussed?

BMX racing is insane.
