Wasn’t too poor, but for their standards and history I guess I agree! Sweden are very good… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against Djokovic but RF will forever be my number one no matter what. But now they’re all equal on slams I sadly enjoy seeing the other 2 lose. Novak will always be my least favourite of the 3. It’s always good seeing young talent come through, even more so against Novak. Hopefully someone like the Zverev brothers can stop ND from doing the calendar slam. Best of luck in the final. I hope your country get behind him as much as we did behind Murray in the last 2 Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toinho 2,210 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 We’re currently 5th on the medal tally, I expect us to slip down to 10/11th by the end but we continue to punch above our weight. Extraordinary stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phelps was different class! Ledecky showed her class in the 800m, Titmus got closer than I thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,309 Posted August 1, 2021 Administrator Share Posted August 1, 2021 Decent day to watch. Woke up to the BMX, GB smash it with Worthington pulling off some crazy moves. Unreal watching it. Then watched the 7-way playoff for Bronze in the Golf. Quite tense! Then Rojas smashed the world record for triple jump. Huge jump! Then just watched the mens high jump be shared by Italy and Qatar after they finished level. It was put to the 2 competitors what they want to do, the Qatari said 'let's share it' and they decided to share the gold. Love that. Even more so that Tamberi (?) the Italian was injured last year so would have missed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching Tamberi look at Barshim and then he goes "lets share it" was a super sportsman moment. Rojas was also superb. The only other big thing today was India moving into the semis of Mens Field Hockey against Great Britain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Profesor 1,457 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Volleyball is my favorite sport to watch at the Olympics. Men's and women's. And it's not just because Brazil is good at it. The level is so high, increbile athleticism at display and lots of great teams. The games are amazing to watch. I'm low-key rooting for Turkey to do well. I think the turkish girls are capable and deserving of winning a medal. (Hopefully not at our expense. haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
