"Excellent. SPORTGASM I've just had one in preparation for the next few weeks. "If you have sky+ or a mobile phone… download discovery+ app…. Anything that isn’t shown on the BBC will be shown live there.. And also.. sporting controversy (apart from anything dressage) The Olympic football also starts today… all I will say about the Argentina vs Morocco game is that it ended as a 2-2 draw after 15 minutes of stoppage time.. it was madness!!!

The Olympic football also starts today… all I will say about the Argentina vs Morocco game is that it ended as a 2-2 draw after 15 minutes of stoppage time.. it was madness!!! You have to find it! "More madness… right… Argentina scored minute 16 of stoppage time to make it 2-2, riot starts in stadium.. players taken off field… everyone thinks game is over.. stadium is cleared… after an hour told that match had been suspended… players come out…. Goal is checked… and then it’s been disallowed by VAR! So it’s 2-1 Morocco…. | |||

"I'm getting cross at the TV coverage. This is the first Olympics with equal male and female participation and they've rearranged some of the running order to make some of the female finals happen in the peak times. Yet, the BBC did not show Katie Ledecky's 4th straight gold medal in the 800m free as it happened and when they showed it retrospectively, it was only the last 200m or so. Would they have done the same for Michael Phelps, the only other swimmer with the same record? We've had every one of Leon Marchand's events (quite rightly) but we've not had the same from the big ticket women's events. "I completely disagree the BBC coverage has been loaded very heavily not only for the female events but the presenters as well I can't believe you think this particularly with all the Simone Biles coverage.

But there were no Brits in many other races shown in full when they had other big names in. Like Marchand (who I admire greatly, by the way). We saw more decathlon on the athletics with no Brit representative (again, I like these events!) but Ledecky was making history! I firmly believe if it had been Phelps or similar, then it would have been shown. | |||

"Well I'm not particularly a fan of basket's ball but that final game was pretty epic. And a huge CHAPEAU to Paris for being amazing host's and putting on a fantastic games. Already looking forward to the LA game's." Yep, it’s a shame America won the basketball, the look on LeBron’s face when France went ahead was a picture! Nerves and a lack of pace from the French in the fast breaks, coupled with not shutting down Curry cost them that momentous victory. I would have loved to watch LeBron go up for a silver medal in his gold trainers…… | |||

"And it's going to be worse in 4 years NBC own all of the rights for TV so expect the coverage to be 99,% American sports they've already changed the format track and Field is now in the first week rather than second. All to keep the American audiences happy they want to see USA winning everything from day 1 to get the audience figures, forget about the couple of billion worldwide." Actually they don’t…. They are being sub leased to OBS (Olympic Broadcasting Services) so everything is being broadcast live…. It’s just that NBC can if they want have their own commentators over it if they wish….. And the BBC/Discovery deal is still in place…. Where that if an event isn’t being show live on the BBC (which are allowed to show 2 live at any point) or Eurosport….. then it will be available on Discovery + | |||

"Also…. As closing ceremonies go….. I don’t think that was a patch on London! " I rather enjoyed it
I thought that French group Phoenix were rather good.
Though the RHCPs were a disappointment. Again! I've come to the realisation that they're just shit live!

"Also…. As closing ceremonies go….. I don’t think that was a patch on London! " Actual Tom Cruise jumping off the building was pretty cool tho. But I agree it was a bit mehhh. London 2012 closing felt like more of a celebration of the event. That said I really did enjoy the games. Quite baffling why with all the amazing lakes and rivers in France they didn't use one of those for the open water swimming and the triathlon. | |||

"The BBC coverage was annoying keep swapping from channel to channel. Made worse if you paused for 10 minutes or more then come back and miss out due to them switching it to BBC 2. Not sure break dancing will be back after the hoohar of the Australian ray gun scoring zero points" When did break dancing become a sport? Whatever next? PlayStation games? | |||
