  2. 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
  3. How much is China paying you?
  4. ‘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.
  5. The opening ceremony has made the tensions between a lot in the USA and the IOC worse.
  6. 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.
  7. To be fair the res tof them don’t look as strong for the 4 x 200m as well.
  8. Good result for swimming.
  9. Hoeofully it will force the IOC to act and get rid of China. They must know the USA is not droping the WADA investigation.
  10. I will go on about it until doping is eradicated.
  11. First to lose out to the doping nation In the pool.
  12. Or do what the Chinese do and dope.
  13. 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.
  14. They have now delcared Peaty the winner and that Qin is out of form.
  15. The BBC are supporting the booing of the Chinese team.
  16. Get used to it. Podium protests are coming. There are many known dopers in the Chinese team.
  17. It is coming from those who want clean sport.
  18. The BBC commentators are totally ignoring every Chinese swimmer as much as possible.
  19. I wouidnt be too shocked if we lose every boxing fight.
  20. He better get used to hot and dry racing conditions of LA.
  21. Tarling the first bids disappointment finishing fourth What’s the LA course like?
  22. What a start to the games. First time since 1980 winning two medals on day 1.
  23. Best ever Olympic eventing dressage score beating the record of David O’Conner of the USA from 2000
  24. The men’s relay can finish anywhere between 3rd and 5th. Will be fascinating to see the reaction if they finish 4th with China on the podium. I doubt they will be very happy.
