And it’s pretty shocking that happened to the Men’s eight who were actually quite good in 2018/2019 compared to many others. Their were at a similar level to the men’s four but the four look so much better compared to them and are still a realistic medal prospect.
-
I can see Kamminga staging the big upset in the final and beating Adam in the final.
-
Makes it to the final in 7th. Can she recover from that to get a medal. It’s an open event. Great swim from Aimee Wilmott. Hopefully a medal chance.
-
It’s odd when you see GB did pretty well at the Europeans in some of the events that now several European Boats have beat them in. Was it a case of peaking too early in the season rather than mental softness
-
Just about. The final heat was mayhem. Be interesting to see if Willmot can get through in the Women’s event - both got bronze in Budapest at Europeans.
-
Surely the biggest shock of the games so far. Home favourites not doing well with him and Uchimura in the Gymanstics.
-
Not a great start for GB in the Men 400IM.

Boxing knows it will be axed in 2024 if there is another corruption scandal.

Women's Football Tournament at the Summer Olympic Games 2020

I can’t see her playing in Russia for much longer. Surely she will get interest from bigger clubs. -
Another dreadful British performance. I wouldn’t be shocked to see GB under 30 medals. It just feels like it will be a shit Olympics for GB.
-
I think in 2024 GB won’t enter more than 3 or 4 boats. All the planning will get ripped up when the ton of manure coming their way causes funding to quite possibly totally cease.

The GB medal total will end up back in the dumps like Atlanta within a games or two. What other country would allows a non winning atttude to dictate policy. And it will be impossible to then switch back because the criticism will be led by the likes of Piers Morgan.
-
I got banned from another forums for calling out the anti winners. Apparently I was mocking mental health - I’m sorry but if you not mentally able to take anything you shouldn’t be in sport.
-
Funding will get cut - I know there insisting it won’t but it’s inevitable once the British Press tear into all of Team GB that very few sports will survive with their current funding.

The British Eurosport co commentator cursed him. She was saying she expected to see rowers pull out due to Covid in later rounds.

Summer Olympic Games 2020 Ceremonies
Orangehair43 replied to vinipereira's topic in Summer Olympic Games Tokyo 2020
I’m glad GB only sent 22 athletes. This feels like it will be a Covid super spreading incident. -
Thornley the only boat today who looks she might be be able to contend for medal on a good day. Rowing is one of the sports looking ahead already to 2024 and hoping funding doesn’t get before hand.
-
Do we know if any of the three infected were sitting near each other. At least so far all three are separate sports. The flight landed several days ago so most infected on it should test positive by Saturday if infected on it.
-
While compulsory would have been good there was no way some NOC’s could have got that past anti vaccination board members - countries would have withdrawn. the Second would have brought the Japanese Government down - the public anger at people not being tested would be something they could not survive.
-
I mean you infected for a day or two but it very quickly clears up and you return to negative testing. It’s a lot more common if you are partly or fully vaccinated.
-
False positives are pretty rare. Being only middy infected is more common than the test being wrong.
-
And most of the contenders from Australia and New Zealand have only competed domestically since last year as well. While in some events (such as Swimming) domestic times can be useful for judging form in other events it’s a lot harder to comapare without direct competition.
-
I can see the IOC pulling everyone on the flight out of competition.
