sparky88 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) Adam Peaty is possibly Britain's greatest ever sportsperson. Massively underappreciated. He's like Usain Bolt for his particular distance and discipline- probably even more dominant actually.

peasy23 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Caught a bit of the final of the women's street skateboarding earlier, best 4 scores out of 7 tricks count. At one point it looked like anybody getting 4 scores in would win a medal. 2 13 year olds among the medallists with Japan getting gold and bronze and Brazil silver.Kudos to the lass from the Phillipines who spent most of the final bouncing around on her arse or her face but did so with a huge smile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 What about the BBC's commentator's 'casual' racist comment describing a Fijian who's "hands are about as big as a bunch of bananas". Really, in the current #BLM climate? Wrong choice of simile. Who employed him!I got the impression that it isn't the BBC's feed for the audio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 10-10 in Williams fight in the Taekwondo final - one round to go.This could go either way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Williams loses the gold.Fantastic last round - Williams was 18-13 up with 30 seconds to go and was still 3 points ahead with 10 seconds to go. The coach threw it away by making a challenge that gave her opponent a breather - Jelic scored 14 points in the last 30 seconds. Fucking stupid challenge.She scored more points than all 3 previous opponents of the Croatian Jelic combined.Final score - Jelic 25 Williams 22 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Can't really blame the coach when she was gesturing to him to challenge. British taekwonders are brilliant at losing the match in the last five seconds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I’ve no issue with Russian athletes who have proven their cleanliness being allowed to compete in the olympics in their own right under the Olympic flag, but they shouldn’t be allowed to enter any of the team sports IMO and there is no way that “Russian Olympic Competitors” should be given its own entry in the medal table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
