Olympicsnell

I was impressed with the GB showing at the europeans, and yes we did it before tokyo as well, but this performance just felt stronger. I'd hang my hat on at least 2 golds in Paris, and hopefully with a strong camp that results in the development of above mentioned sprint finishes maybe get a couple more. It's certainly a good spot to be under rating everyone. Just very hard to tell at the moment with nations peaking for the final chance qualifier, and majority of GB boats (hopefully) not at thier peak yet Main concern of a boat i guess would be the women's 8, unsure if they can move people out of this to make the other boats stronger because i dont follow the rowers that well, but losing to a romanian team by a length who had double the amount of racers over the weekend doesn't look strong

The whole way through i was going to ask how many you thought we could get, and then boom, got in their first anyways. More the merrier, i'd honestly be happiest seeing Kiaran and Owain as they came so close last time, and anything less than qualification from amy will have GB boxing with questions to answer, looks like that had to close comments on thier team selection post as the families of the British boxers were up in arms, as you say whitwell had more than enough opportunity to qualify, i dont think they can have any complaints personally.

on a daily basis, how often are you wrong?

How long do you think it would take to get from the airport to the mountain biking venue? i've talked myself out of going to paris for what i initially had planned, but as a long shot im thinking of trying to do the mountain biking as a day trip from the north west of england, flights and everything work out fine, would there be anything like an express bus to the venue?

Two of my personal top five will be the same nationally i suspect, Super Saturday At 2012 Redgrave's 5th At 2000 My other personal 3 to round out the 5 would be Chris Boardman individual pursuit 1992 (first games i watched) Men's 4x100 2004 Mo's double (but rio 2016 as i was at both) (humble brag)

Connor Bainbridge having a strong day two and is currently ranked 1 after 7 races, looking good for the quota at this point

Decent enough start for Connor Bainbridge 4th overall after 5 races

no he hasn't, like most of the people on here im gonna have to block you now, just annoying

i don't know how i'm going to survive the actual olympics, because watching him get that quota was intense, swiss guy properly fell apart right at the end

i think its broadcast on youtube, will sneak that on and watch a sport i didnt think i'd be watching this week

When is the final of this please

No Freya Anderson. You were wrong. No Kieran Bird. You were wrong. Team under 30 because of cutbacks, wrong wrong wrong

The men's road race is going to be a free for all, i can't wait, the road race (off the top of my head) is a week after the mountain biking yes? so i'd be happy to see him go in both

With mountain biking do you think GB will manage to take 2 quota's in men's and women's? i know on the last update they were in the last spots, just wondering with pidcock not racing if that will cost Charlie his spot

Archibald looking very good in the Omnium, Richards struggled today in the olympic distance mountain biking but heat/going all guns blazing yesterday probably took its toll

i'm gonna listen to you here because when it comes to being downbeat and negative you are the expert

Gave it a good go GB, had them on the ropes

That men's 8 was impressive, very solid opening world cup for British team as a whole i thought, probably men's double sculls is still a way off and i was hoping Thomas would go for the single scull quota spot but if it improves the four then so be it

Evie Richards smashed it today in the short track mountain biking, looked very good olympic race distance tomorrow

is everyone else aware this is free to watch on youtube, starts 11.30pm GMT

yes but you also said GB wern't sending a team to the euro's so i'll wait for a second opinion

49 - 11 was a nice ride whilst it lasted

Can i post links to games here, its not an illegal stream and its broadcast on Youtube, so i'm gonna give it a crack and risk a telling off later

James Guy on instagram had posted that he has been officially selected for the olympics, however that post has vanished now, hopefully that means team news is out soon and he had to take it down because they are still notifying everyone

Scare stories for an olympics?? *laughs in zika virus*
