    I think most countries didn’t really take it seriously. Poland (as a country with a strong relay pedigree) did and rightly deserved their gold. The USA and GB were among those who did not.

    The 800 women seem fantastic. I really hope one of them gets a medal. The other stand outs have been Netta and the men’s high jump and pole vault at least making their finals.
  3. Orangehair43
    I imagine a lot of broadcasters would be similarly over optimistic - Particularly at at a games where the star quality of Atheltics - both domestic British stars and global international stars - is at a low.
  4. Orangehair43
    It shows GB Athletics are scared of the funding collapse that is coming.

    Dina Asher Smith has pulled out of the 200m and has explained her major injury issues.
  6. Orangehair43
    Helped doing well in the relays and Dina and KJT being in form which they are not. Plus in 2017 Mo Farah was still there.
  7. Orangehair43
    Speculation about her fitness and that fact her endurance appears to be gone. The main mention came from Stadium based reporter Jeanette Kwakye.
  8. Orangehair43
    The BBC have just implied Dina Asher - Smith might pull out of the 200m entirely.
  9. Orangehair43
    The BBC are constantly saying there is not?
  10. Orangehair43
    The BBC are implying the Judges are biased towards the Japanese.

    First time since 1980 no Americans race in the final (through of course their 2000 runner has since been DQ). In terms of having entrants in the event it’s the first time since 1948.
  12. Orangehair43
    It’s not. It’s suddenly all about Neita and winding up Michael Johnson about the fact no Americans have made it.
  13. Orangehair43
    The BBC have virtually given up on her already. There all smiling instead about Neita and how it’s the first time since Beijing a British women has made it. The BBC will struggle through once British press start tearing into the Athletics team.
  14. Orangehair43
    Yet the international hype for the race seems near non existent outside of Athetics fans.
  15. Orangehair43
    I doubt their want to break that themselves. It raise a lot of questions.
  16. Orangehair43
    Laura Muir feels only possible individual medal GB is getting on the track with Dina in shit form. GB Athletics is going to be in massive Shit and will get funding cut in a sport that is so hard to really improve from one games to another.
  17. Orangehair43
    And it being held on a Grand Slam court.

    I think with Athletics it was decided to catch up on them a bit later as that is a bit quicker.
  21. Orangehair43
    The BBC do not have the rights to air more than two events at once - the deal their did with Discovery to keep rights for 2022 and 2024 (As discovery was talking about setting up their own freeview Channel) have prevented that.
  22. Orangehair43
    Great results in the Mixed events. Athletics looks a total disaster and I think the aftermath there will make the Rowing aftermath look tame.
  23. Orangehair43
    Not sure I agree about that.
  24. Orangehair43
    Canada is the opposite of GB. GB’s men are noticeably better than the women while Canada is the opposite.
  25. Orangehair43
    It wouldn’t work now a days because the majority of people would see the result on social media even if the broadcast media totally ignored it.
