no corrections to be made here,

annoyed more now than i was at the time that men's sevens didn't qualify to make the next couple of days a even more exciting

QOTD:

1. Yes

2. Carl Hester (Dressage - Equestrian) and Helen Glover (rowing)

 

I'm gutted about the men's 7s failure too, I'll be at the quarter finals and would have been great to support them. Excitement levels though are escalating!

BBC's schedule. They are showing the rugby sevens this week, but not any of the football or handball - too big a cut of their 300 hour allowance obviously.  Then once the actual competition starts, they're keeping it vague to allow a lot of jumping about from place to place depending on prospects.

 

BBC Sport - Olympics - Next on

[Mkbw50 438]

In general I imagine that BBC One on the main screen and then Eurosport on your other screens for specific events is the way to go

I bought discovery plus for £3.99, which gives me access to every event, which I don’t think eurosport does.

 

For QOTD

Yes

Helen Glover and Tom Daley

If I remember correctly from the winter Olympics, on Sky at least, Eurosport had a separate channel for each of the events but I am not sure if they are doing the same thing for Paris.

 

For anyone who has Sky and hasn't done it already, definitely worth setting up your free Discovery+ subscription.

I would have supported this nomination before the video - Hester deserves it but impossible to do now

Believe the 7 extra ES Channels pop-up tomorrow on Sky & Virgin. To resume - 4 of them will be dedicated to the big fortnight long team sports & three others will be divided up as need be with the shorter-running sports like archery, canoe slalom, badminton etc etc.
