[Other Sport] Olympics viewing strategy

[Bry Nylon]

Commentary is getting on my tits now…

‘How do they prepare for a 6.30am start’
‘They get up earlier’

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.

There's a roof garden on top of the concrete monstrosity at the end of the lap though.

Yee gets Silver, Brownlee 5th. Well done chaps

Another silver medal.

Less than 3 hours now until Peaty.

Great race…..Blummenfelt was fantastic, Yee will probably win in Paris.

Adam Peaty.

...and he's just sworn on live TV in the post-race interview! (I think we'll forgive him that...)

Well done Adam!!! GB a goal up against the Canucks in the men's hockey

Mountain biking on the red button at the moment. Brutal course, great viewing.

Mathieu Van Der Poel, who was one of the stories of the Tour de France (held yellow, won a stage, is Raymond Poulidor's grandson), had a horrible fall from a jump but is back in the race, albeit a minute down.

Tom Pidcock looking good for GB.

Pidcock now leading!

Daley and Lee are winning the 10m platform diving with 1 round to go. Less than 2 points in it

I discovered only last week that Adam Peaty's girlfriend is an extreme genuine beauty.

She's in a different league to most of the plastic footballers' WAGs who I'm not usually that impressed by.

Tom Pidcock riding his way to Gold in the mountain biking...

The Dutch must have upset the cycling Gods with the jolly Matthew Van De Poel flying off his bike

Scenes

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Smashed their last dive and have won GOLD!!

Four Olympics, lots of medals for Tom, but finally he gets gold. Just one point in it at the end.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

GOLD for Pidcock!

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Adam Peaty is an absolute monster. He has the 17 fastest 100m breaststroke times of ALL TIME.

Could be 4 GB golds today with Lauren Williams in the Taekwondo Final at 1:30pm.

With scores changing quickly and the outcome often being in doubt until the very last seconds, it's highly recommended viewing.

A quick heads-up that there's the Women's Triathlon from 10:30pm tonight. If it's anything like the Men's, it'll be well worth watching and not too late a finish.

GB has a decent shout of a medal with Jess Learmonth and Georgia Taylor-Brown who are World ranked #5 and #7 respectively.
