jmothecat Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Haven't managed to watch any so far. Watching the women's rugby sevens now though and enjoying it. Hope I get the chance to see some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooky Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 That's us in the semi-finals of the ladies rugby 7s. We'll play either New Zealand or USA tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I could watch and enjoy probably any sport, apart from gymnastics. I just don't get it. Good result for Britain in the ladies 7s though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Don't get them having about that Brazilian gymnast she wobbled at least 3 times on the beam there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Brazilian woman's beach volleyball team played in front of a low crowd. I'm assuming tickets are expensive or maybe there are other reasons(not sure how much the Zika virus has effected the number of people going) Do friends and family of athletes get free tickets?(had a quick Google, couldn't find anything on it though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Great to hear. Was going to set my alarm but the Mrs warned me i would have to sleep on the sofa if I was doing that. Felt that was far to much hassle. http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/36685693 ....for anyone who missed it or fancies seeing it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Absolutely stunning swim from Peaty. He's a machine! Well done to Jazz Carlin as well who picked up silver. Good night in the pool for the Brits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I see Phelps won another medal. Iv never liked the guy. Especially after I seen him ignore fans at the Dunhill Links at Carnoustie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the British Handball team being set up for 2012 from people who had never even played it before. I think the host nation gets automatic qualification - 2012 was the only British handball team to qualify in the history of the Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Anyone seen the British gymnast's landing? Like she botched a powerbomb on herself - looked sore as f**k.

Sooky Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Even if New Zealand beat us in the Rugby 7s semi-final, the bronze match is against Canada who we pumped 22-0 in the groups. Surely a very decent chance of a medal you'd assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
