"This will inspire thousands of youngsters up and down the land to get into the gym/onto the mat/into the pool...... just amazing..." However, there is no chat about "da yoot" beating a path to the local paddock to get involved in horse dancing. I wonder why this could be? It’s actually not as ”posh Tory twat” as you’d think. I grew up in one of the shit areas of Edinburgh and I used to go horse-riding and actually did some dressage and jumping. It’s true that to get to Olympic level would be tough and expensive but that could be said about stuff like Sailing etc as well.

Bully Wee Villa Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I'm not sure "it's not just for posh people, it's like sailing", is the most compelling argument I've ever read, if I'm being honest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Golden God Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Late to this but Skateboarding is an absolute joke of a sport, watched 10 women doing “tricks” and only 1 didn’t f**k it. Samantha Quek is a Tory c**t and can f**k off. Why did the BBC show some random rowing race last night that that Croatia (I think) won when Ireland were winning there first gold of the games? There’s more people here with an interest in Ireland than probably anywhere else. Also again f**k Quek. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Back Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) No golds in the rowing for the first time since forever. Will that be their funding cut? ETA just after I posted this the BBC are running a segment about this very subject. Edited July 30, 2021 by Left Back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Shandrix Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Just watched some Women's boxing. It was a British girl versus an American girl. You can tell I was paying close attention. Anyway, I'm genuinely interested as to why every time they threw a punch both women shouted what sounded like "juice juice". Anyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betting competition Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Couldn't sleep so watched the really exciting BMX semi-finals on the red button and then on BBC 1 as they started showing it live. Once the semi-finals was over the BBC then moved to boxing which wasn't live and they missed the mens final!

It's like the grunters in tennis as far as I know Basically there's a theory if you grunt or shout when hitting a ball with a racket/bat/club or in this case punching it puts your full force behind it or gives it an extra bit of force 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Not bothering to show the men's BMX final live when Britain clearly had a medal chance, then showing the women's final and announcing the result of the men's final over the top of it is probably the nadir of the BBC coverage so far.

Jimi Shandrix Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 The female commentator on Eurosport just called the Women's football team England. That's a bit shit really. I'm sure there's two Scots playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
