Given the circumstances, I thought Japan did a fine job of hosting the games although some of the officials did seem a little, well, over-officious. Plenty of times I saw competitors told in no uncertain terms how and where to go next - plus the debacle with the boat at the start of the...

It is a completely pointless event and massivley frustrating to watch as I just want them to break into a run. It's like a grand prix where you're not allowed to get out of first gear. One lap round the 400m track and then **** off back to the village would be okay. But 50km?! If there was a...

Have to say, I am amazed and proud of how well our athletes have performed and how high we feature in the medals table. To be honest, we will never compete with China or USA and the host nation traditionally perform strongly, so to be where we are is a fantastic achievment. Given so many of our...

Saturday night - perfect for wallowing in a bit of Olympics coverage and we get……frigging Eventing FFS BBC testing my patience with this one.

FFS I’m emotionally drained. After watching the men’s, women’s and now the mixed relay triathlon in the space of a week I feel like I’ve swum, biked and run every inch of that frigging course with them. Great event and so thrilled for them all that they are all coming home with a gold medal...

4 massively likeable athletes too. So chuffed for them.

Has to be GOLD! Surely!

Come on Yee!! Run like a *******!

Bike ride not going well for Yee

Grrrrr…. Am already transfixed and reconciled to an early hours bedtime. Again.

No shame in competing at an Olympic games - its a massive achievement regardless.

I'm no expert but from what I've seen the British rowers do look like they are going backwards quickly. Unfortunately just not as backwards quickly as everybody else.

Ah - is this still the olympics? For a minute I thought they had cut away to a live feed from Goldstone1976's garden.

Yep - every time. My particular downfall was the men's Triathlon starting at just after midnight one night, followed by the women's event the following evening. You can't start watching a triathlon and then call it a night halfway through the bike ride. Then last night I ended up watching rowing...

I've been lured into staying up by 5 Live (I was listening at around10.30pm as its about the only time El Presidente isn't likely to be on) as they said the track and field starts tonight? But now I'm sitting up at twenty past midight watching frigging olympic handball? The only consolation is...

To be fair, that's more in-depth than the BBC coverage this time.

Yes. I’m gutted it is the triathlon too as similarly I was about to turn in. But now I’m going to end up watching this and convincing myself that it’s really important I know who wins.

Women’s triathlon now. Got totally absorbed in the men’s event last night. The bike ride could be eventful tonight as it’s pouring down in Tokyo

The triathlon is really showcasing the best Tokyo has to offer. I must visit one day to experience the oil refineries and elevated motorway intersections for myself.

:lolol:
