• We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!

And we're off......The Olympics....(no spoilers)

Fijis 7s just utterly stunning.

Country has never won a medal until now, their first is going to be a greatly deserved gold, congrats Ben Ryan and your amazing entertaining team!
 
Woke up and watching the live swimming, Phelps really in the zone prior to the upcoming 200m medley final.

Japan having a good day/night 👍
 
What a final, 200m medley, Phelps & Lotche and the Brazilian have pulled away, there flying these 3 but the latter 2 have gone too quickly and ran out of steam, Phelps has pulled away with China & Japan in tow now, Phelps wins convincingly but no world record,

Baltimore Ravens stopped there football match to watch it live 😳🤔
 
Another great race in the pool but for the women this time, 1st Black woman to win a gold in swimming and gets an Olympic record time, no Cambels in the medals or anywhere close!
 
Shared gold means no bronze🤔

It would seem if there's a tie for 1st they drop the bronze medal, is that the same for the silver but what happens if there's s tie for bronze, they have to give 4 medals then surely so why not all the time when there are ties?
 
The USA Vs Braxil volleyball is a great match and getting really lively, there's no love lost on show here.

Because only the top 3 places are awarded medals.
 
Looks like the game really is a bogey in athletics. Stunning new world record in the women's 10k but instead of celebrating the achievement we all shuffle round awkwardly, not believing it was legit.

Absolutely not.
All season she has been incredible going undefeated and on the circuit its about winning races not times.
Obviously today she felt great and just went for it.

I'm not passing comment on her performance, just the reaction to it. The game's up when you can't just trust a good result.
 
Team GB in the table tennis go through to the quarter finals at the expense of France.

Brazil & Australia in extra time in a very scrappy football game, my god the Brazalian women whinge more than the men 😜
 
Hoping Usain Bolt manages to deny the drug cheat Gatlin the gold medal. Pity I'm too old to stay up late and see it live.

Yep. Work day tomorrow and no way I can wait up that late but I echo the sentiments and hope Bolt beats a proven drug cheat. No doubt it'll be all over the news first thing when I get up so I'll see it. Shame it won't be live as it's really THE event of the games.
 
Think 100m was usurped by the mens 400m, that was a sensational run by the Saffer breaking a 17yo world record and some.
Bolt only had Gatlin to beat and did so reasonably easily in what was for him a so-so time. Without a fit Blake, Gay, Powell etc the 100m field seemed a bit diminished this time round.
