Punksnotdead Posted July 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 Looking forward to the triathlon relay but I don't think I've got enough rum left to last until the end of the race! Must learn to pace myself better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punksnotdead Posted July 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Seems like an all round good egg that Alex Yee. He's got my early vote for sports personality of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCountryGirl Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Windsurfing looks like bloody hard work. Obviously I know that all Olympic sports are hard, but windsurfing has none of the grace and illusion of ease that you see in some others.

Padgey Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Just watched the 4 x 100 mixed medley, that was epic. So deceiving when the men are against the women. Edited July 31, 2021 by Padgey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got my early vote for sports personality of the year. at 23, he looks like an amazingly mature athlete as well.. No panic on the bike when the Frenchman tore past him, just picked up, tucked in and then took the lead when he wanted at the end.. Adam Peaty when asked after this mornings mixed medley what had changed for British swimming said "One word.. Belief".. When Alex Yee jumps aboard the belief train (after his silver in the main event "I am just a guy from South East London..") he could dominate the event.. Very impressive.. and these mixed medleys are a great format.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Music Girl Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Stayed up to watch the mixed relay triathlon so saw our first gold in real time! Great stuff. The BMX highlights were bloody great too. They both seem such brilliant down-to-earth athletes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgey Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 It's not looking good for Dina Asher-Smith, if she does qualify as a fastest loser it looks like she'll struggle in the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much hype and pressure on her. She was only 4th favourite so shouldn't have been expected to get a medal. The 3 Jamaicans & the Ivory Coast girl look streets ahead of the rest.

Yeah, fair play to her - considering how little training she could do, she did well. No idea why she kept it a secret, but that's her prerogative I suppose.

reflekting Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 7 way play off for Bronze in the golf, the stuff dreams are made of. Like tennis and men's football, I'm not convinced these should be in the Olympics. It's dominating the airtime over other sports which need coverage.

I love golf (probably controversial on here), but I agree it shouldn't be an Olympic sport. However, it is, so they have to show it don't they?
