The Olympic Games 2024 Paris

Looks like the first medal for Team GB

Couldn't have happened in a better way!

Wow great bronze in 3 m pairs diving , but four years training by the Aussie girl to go from potentially silver to out of the medals !!
But I’m sure we will have heartache stories by the end

The opening ceremony has just started on BBC1

Yawn

Rugby 7s has been enjoyable, they should do something similar with football by making it 5 a side futsal instead of the pointless u23s competition it currently is for the men.

Isn't Futsal included at this Olympics?

Nope and it never has been, they play it at the youth Olympics which might be what you're thinking of.

Home crowd again inspires the French to hold against the odds, looks like a cracking Olympics already, even enjoyed the 10 m air rifle competition
Peatty looked solid , but again it’s all on the day, like running can prepare but if it’s a bad day it’s a bad day had many of them in races

I love the Olympics just watching the Hockey, GB v Spain. Absolutely love any sport that’s on during the Olympics.

Not sure how it’s been broadcast this time, last one was disappointing as it wasn’t all on BBC like most other years.

Discovery+ are doing full coverage

Discovery+ are doing full coverage

They're doing one month of Discovery+ for £4 during the Olympics. Still not happy that it isn't free but considering I'd pay more than double that for a Southend match on NLTV it isn't bad value.

My wife and I were going out last night. We were almost late because we had to stay and watch the end of the match. That was unbelievable.

Well done to all our medal winners today. Pity some of the French crowd chose to boo Tom Pidcock as he cycled across the line and when receiving his gold medal, very poor sportsmanship.

Pidcocks come back from a puncture has got to be one of the greatest in olympic history in all sports, just incredible.

 

[The Original Tribal Chief]

It had a ‘it’s a knockout’ feel about it, and that was **** as well .

Stuart Hall laughing over the top of it would have improved it.

If it had been the first set I would have agreed.

Some very dubious decisions in the boxing already and not just for UK boxers.
