For non pervy reasons btw.

I absolutely love the gymnastics.

Men's and women's.

I find it totally amazing the sheer perfection that they strive for and the control of the human body.

The strength of the men is just awesome.

But I love pretty much all of the Olympic events.

With the exception of tennis and football.

Also I find the sprint kayak race's and canoeing brilliant.

I do like watching track stuff - 100m; 200m; 400m; long distance (men's or women's.) Will we get to see new medal winners? I'm interested to see who will pick up the men's 100m....

Then there's field stuff like Javelin; Pole vault; Shot put.

Yes, skateboarding is there. We have an outstanding young lady called Sky Brown competing. She is only 13, but wait till you see what she's capable of! It's a tough sport - a lot of core strength needed to pull the tricks they perform.

Just letting those people who especially like swimming that because the Olympics have taken so much US tv money they have basically moved the swimming finals.. so instead of them taking place in the evening sessions.. they are going to take place in the morning sessions so it coincides with US prime time….

So look forward to overnight uk time swimming finals!!!

If you don't want to watch it, that's great (nor does Mr KC because he's not a sport's fan) but even non sporty people should be able to appreciate the hard work and sacrifice that goes into qualifying for the Olympics.

It’s a proper long hard course… think of it at 260km semi hilly classic type course… I think you are looking at one of van aert, alaphilippe, or van der pol…but I would not rule out any of the Slovenians for example

Be interesting to see how the countries play it with the smaller teams and no radio mics…

Yep, and you can't make an animal weighing the best part of a tonne do what it doesn't want to do! To do dressage like that, the rider needs phenomenal core strength and a bum and thighs of steel too. All the horse riding events require riders (and horses) to be super fit, but a lot of people seem to think the rider just sits there......

North West

I'm watching swimming replays and was so chuffed to see the Tunisian guy win the men's 400m medley. Almost till the end, the commentators ignored this underdog, swimming in lane 8 and were focused on the European and Australian swimmers (one of whom came rank last). Really good to see someone outside of the usual suspects taking a gold medal.

The hockey has been epic too, and the diving, tbh I really enjoy seeing sports that aren’t usually shown much on the telly

I know most of you are probably watching the main Olympic channel… but the woman’s archery finals. That have just taken place was epic! Wow!

Fun fact: Great Britain is the only country to have won gold medals in every summer Olympics

We need to get as many early medals as we can because there will be few medals coming our way in track and field

I’m pissed off with the coverage. The rights sale has left the majority of us without wall to wall coverage and a lot of minor events aren’t getting shown

You can see it if you have sky, virgin or bt

Eurosport have 6 overflow channels that you can see most of the other live sport going on… plus bbc have a red button overflow as well…

So Eurosport are on sky 410 and 411… and the overflows are 983 thru to 989… bbc red button overflow is on 982
