    Decision to not pick Becky Downie might backfire here for GB- had she been in the GB team a bronze might have just been achievable. Instead it could be fourth behind a team who WADA wanted banned - that would be a cruel way for funding to be cut - No ROC and funding might have been maintained is a realistic possibility GB gymnastics.

    NBC were not showing it live anyway as they were delaying it to prime time. They only cut to when she pulled out.
  3. Orangehair43
    They have a set order and don’t really deviate from it.

    Canoeing was more of a mild disappointment. She hadn’t been looking great in qualifying and I was expecting her to not make the final.
  5. Orangehair43
    Through she did do one performance and was clearly not at her best in it.

    Billes suffering from mental rather than physical issues according to her coach. 3,2,1 till Piers Morgan launches a tirade against her.
  7. Orangehair43
    And everyone will be waiting to see if she will appear at the all around or some or all of the finals. Is she allowed to pull out of say two of the finals and only do two. Or does she have to do all four or withdraw from all of them?

    America are still competing and looking good for the silver or bronze so I presume they still showing it.
  9. Orangehair43
    I really do hope The Gadrilova twins continue to progress as by Paris on current form they could be medal contenders.
  10. Orangehair43
    NBC saying Biles will take no further part. If Biles doesn’t recover for the all around and the individuals it’s not impossible to think America won’t win a gold in Gymnastics as the rest of team are unpredictable and could easily fail to win any of the rest of the five events.

    Wow. What happens
  12. Orangehair43
    The Olympics is rating badly there already - this will wreck it for them.

    Billes not looking at her best so it feels like ROC’s day. I don’t want GB to finish fourth - As that would mean ROC being allowed to compete might well be what ends British Gymnastics as a competitive force in global gymnastics because I am not sure even a apparatus medal later on in the week will save the funding in the way a team medal would have.

    I know. But it seems they going to try and qualify with a mostly the B team which doesn’t really work that often for GB over the years. Back in 2916 they only made once change from semi to final.
  15. Orangehair43
    GB focusing on the 4 x 200m relay rather than individual events. That is an interesting but risky decision.
  16. Orangehair43
    A great result. The rest of today has been rather mixed for Team GB so far - some great performances in the Rugby (Just about) and Tennis and Sailing but some disappointing performances elsewhere. Boxing not looking as sharp as expected. They will do well to match their Rio total medal - which probably means Team GB not making the 45-52 medal range.

    I think it will be gone or heavily amended so that it can be like Judo and Takewondo and not need judges.
  18. Orangehair43
    That’s better. It would have been a tedious watch otherwise.
  19. Orangehair43
    Am I right in thinking all team members go consecutively? Or are they going in rotation so we don’t have to wait till the end to see the top 3?
  20. Orangehair43
    Good chance of a gold today in team dressage.
  21. Orangehair43
    Disappointment for GB to not win a gold at these games. Be interesting to see if funding levels survive two silvers and maybe one bronze. The sport has become more popular in the UK through - I don’t remember this hype even back when Jade Jones won in 2012 and 2016. British sporting history is often defined by cruel and agonising last minute defeats which is sport perfectly fits.
  22. Orangehair43
    Unlike the Gymnastics yesterday the BBC pundits really dislike the Russian swimmers and did not approve of the Backstroke result.
  23. Orangehair43
    Firs time since 1908 two different Brits have won gold medals in Swimming and also first time since 1908 two British Men have medaled in the same event. A great result.
  24. Orangehair43
    Not according to the official Tokyo website.
  25. Orangehair43
    According to the official Tokyo 2020 website God Save the Queen (rather than the local Bermuda Anthem) will be played for Duffy’s medal ceremony which will be fascinating to see.
