    Boxing needs to change its scoring system to something like Taekwondo or Judo to survive.
  2. Orangehair43
    I honestly wouldn’t care if they shut our boxing programme down. Corrupt sport.

    Is Norrie injured or just can’t be arsed.

    I find that three only format too harsh. I’m not a fan.

    I am not surprised at that. In recent history every Brit predicted to do well in the Judo loses in their first fight while it’s the surprise ones who do well. Judo’s funding level must sadly be in doubt Unkess anyone else does a surprise run later on in these games.

    The BBC have pretty much said if will be very difficult now for the women to make the Gymnastics team final. Becky Downie did well - will it be enough for the final?

    I think with the swimming we now need a shock medal in an event where we didn’t really see even a bronze happening or no other 50;50 or better chances to be lost to make the total numbers look healthy. Particularly as the Women’s side is pretty bad

    How much is China paying you?

    ‘Great Britain definitely had a chance at a medal here. I don't want to be too harsh but I would put it down as a missed opportunity. If you do contrast it, we had our best games in over 100 years at the last Olympics and now we are clinging on by a thread here with Adam Peaty. If Adam Peaty can somehow win gold tomorrow, we will have forgotten about this first day...’ Steve Parry about as pessimistic as I am.

    The opening ceremony has made the tensions between a lot in the USA and the IOC worse.

    It just feels like swimming deserves an excellent meet in primetime after two games or finals in the middle of the night but that might not happen.
  15. Orangehair43
    To be fair the res tof them don’t look as strong for the 4 x 200m as well.
  16. Orangehair43
    Good result for swimming.
  17. Orangehair43
    Hoeofully it will force the IOC to act and get rid of China. They must know the USA is not droping the WADA investigation.
  18. Orangehair43
    I will go on about it until doping is eradicated.
  19. Orangehair43
    First to lose out to the doping nation In the pool.
  20. Orangehair43
    Or do what the Chinese do and dope.
  21. Orangehair43
    The commentators pretty much did so - it was quite unusual but a clear sign of just how much dopers like Qin are hated in the UK.
  22. Orangehair43
    They have now delcared Peaty the winner and that Qin is out of form.
  23. Orangehair43
    The BBC are supporting the booing of the Chinese team.
  24. Orangehair43
    Get used to it. Podium protests are coming. There are many known dopers in the Chinese team.
  25. Orangehair43
    It is coming from those who want clean sport.
