How the heck did Argentina do THAT in the rugby 7's?!?! Spent most of the match with 6 men, but scored 3 tries while undermanned, then in the closing stages were down to FIVE men... and still managed to win!Comment

Yes. And even more hampered by some of their presenters!Originally posted by treadwater1 View PostComment

We all know where that idiocy comes from. USA where the story is all important not the performance.. The swimming presenters are some of the worse ever and the commentators constantly talk juvenile arentifunny babble. You all know how it works with the bbc; once your foot is in the door you tend to be there forever.
Are we to suffer Jackson for example.Comment

Bianca Walkden, so unlucky to not make the final of the Taekwondo earlier in the day, manages to win a bronze medal.Comment

Virtually not shown on either BBC OR Eurosport, but GB's women's artistic gymnastic team have just won a bronze medal! That's the first time a women's gymnastic's team from these shores have won in the team event since the Amsterdam Summer Olympics in 1928!Last edited by RunUnlimited; 27-07-21, 14:05.Comment

I still can't get over women's gym finals without romania - so good for so long! -
Agreed re Gymnastics. I actually thought I had dozed (knackered due to nocturnal viewing) and missed GB's fantastic achievement. It came as a big surprise. But apparently nobody else saw it unfolding either! Hopefully I can now see all of GB's performances as I'm now watching Eurosport which has a dedicated catchup for each apparatus.Last edited by felix51; 27-07-21, 15:50.

Wow didn't think the british team had a hope of a medal especially without Becky!Comment

Absolutely no chance before these Olympics. And even after they qualified for the team event a couple of days ago, they were expected, at best, to get maybe 6th place... 5th if they were inspired. Indeed, after the first 2 rotations, GB were in 7th place! AND they were faced with what was supposed to be one of their weakest apparatus in the uneven bars as their final one to tackle. Apparently though, they nailed the vault and uneven bars, registering some of the highest combined scores of any of the finalists! Italy, who had been 3rd for virtually the whole competition, folded badly on the beam and finished 4th.Originally posted by SprintRelayFan View Post
