Off Topic Olympics

Synchronised swimming?

 

Good call, that and women's beach volleyball.

 

How did they allow sub standard judges to be part of the Olympics? It's a huge let down for athletes who have trained for years for their events.

I think GB women's hockey has just became my new favourite sport

 

I enjoyed that game. NZ looked the quicker, more skillful side but GB took their chances. At least a silver now.

 

just watch us in the BMX

 

I must say I used to try and watch as much of the Olympics as I could, however nowadays, some of the included sports are a joke. Obviously I have no idea of your TV coverage over there but ours is a disgrace.

 

BBC do a cracking job, it's on all day where you get the more high profile sports. You can then get other sports on the different BBC channels plus you can get it on the red button. They also have some sports available to watch online, so great coverage overall.

 

The BBC do a first rate job of the Olympics, you can see almost everything as it happens through the red button feature. They put a lot of resources in it. If you want a direct comparison try channel 4 for the Paralympics, I'm not knocking them but they are nowhere near the quality of the BBC, in fact I wish that was on the BBC as well.

 

I can't stand the BBC for a whole host of reasons. I mean, as much as I like Claire Balding is she really worth a half mil salary?

However, the coverage has been excellent as Jager says, but with one annoyance. Having to change channels every hour or sometimes every half hour is poor, paticularly if you want to record something. But I agree, overall it's been very good.

 

If you use the red button you don't have to change over I find, you select the sport you want on the blue button then away you go. My annoyance is sometimes there is no commentary and nothing happening on screen as you wait for the next event.

 

Well done to the Brownlee brothers. What an achievement! GB gold and silver!

Simply outstanding.

 

They were awesome I'm in York today and lots of happy heads about after the win.

 

Just just found a new sport I like, women's diving. The British girl is rather perky!!

 

This must be the perviest thread on this site

 

Disgusting. Those are young women you're talking about!

By the way you could hang a coat on those nips.

 

Diving is great

 

Just don't tell Burnleys manager
