    A Chinese winner would be interesting. Can’t see NBC not suggesting he is doping.
  2. Orangehair43
    That would be fun.
  3. Orangehair43
    Why do they do the finals by draw rather than going in qualification order from 8th to 1st which would mean the last one up would be in theory the favourite.

    The poor worldwide ratings for the Games will make getting bidders for 2036 and onwards even harder - it will have a long term impact on the games.

    Through that didn’t seem to affect or that much..

    Sad news. When was the last equine fatality at the Olympics before this ? I don’t remember one at 2012 or 2016.

    Cross-country was where all GB eventing medal hopes collapsed in 2016 so it’s good to see a great performance today.

    Gracenote have adjusted their predicted medal total for GB upwards from 52 to 62. Interesting because in the original 52 were two individual medals for Dina and several other week 2 medals that feel fairly unlikely. They now predict 16 golds instead of 14 as well.

    They would have to do it so each member did one or two of the disciplines rather than a brief swim, a tiny bit of fencing , a couple of jumps and a few shots and a short run as that would look daft and not be exciting as they would always have to be gaps as people dried and changed outfits.
  12. Orangehair43
    They used to have a team event.
  13. Orangehair43
    It be even more crazier than it already is.
  14. Orangehair43
    It only needs one or two of the likely medal contenders to suffer an elimination for their hopes to be over and it all to be shock up.
  15. Orangehair43
    I suspect the team event will be mayhem in terms of not being able to drop an eliminated rider score.
  16. Orangehair43
    probably have more chances of fourth places in Athletics than

    I wonder why they don’t get on through - apparently ETH coach was SAFP but is they more?
  18. Orangehair43
    I think Shelly and Shericka like each other as they celebrating together - it’s Elaine and them two that don’t get on.
  19. Orangehair43
    1,2,3 for Jamaica. Broke Fl-Jo’s OR. Thompson- Herrah doesn’t seem to be popular with Fraser- Pryce and Jackson at all - they barely congratulated each other - that will make the relay interesting.
  20. Orangehair43
    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.
  21. Orangehair43
    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.
  22. 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.
  23. Orangehair43
    It shows GB Athletics are scared of the funding collapse that is coming.
  24. Orangehair43
    Dina Asher Smith has pulled out of the 200m and has explained her major injury issues.
  25. 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.
