Olympics - Paris 2024

[Arthur Wedge]

I signed up for it free of charge and I have Sky, not BT Sport.

Must be the ability to watch TNT sports that you need to pay for

1st round today.

Have Tommy or Fitzpatrick got a medal in them, or are we going to see Team USA take all three - it is possible given they've got arguably the two best current players in the world, with Cantlay and Wyndham backing them up.

Players seem to be talking the relevance of the Olympics up - at the end of the day, an Olympic medal is something to treasure.

Shame that yet again some players that should be there, are not.

Wyndham, currently +4 after 4!

I've always wondered if this was the technique employed by people playing walking football? If a pass is overhit, do they waddle after it at full pelt, or sneakily break into a sprint?

My best 5K time at Parkrun is 19 minutes 15 seconds. I was chuffed with that. Yet, the world record for the 5K Walk is 18 minutes 7 seconds. My best 10K is 39 minutes 18 seconds. The 20K walk world record is 1hr 16mins 36 secs (half that being just over 38 minutes)

Given that I somehow won the Parkrun with that time (as none of the better amateurs were there to my luck), and just outside the Top 100 in the 10K of a few thousand, I think it is absolutely ridiculous these guys can walk faster than me at my peak. Full respect, even if they do look ridiculous. I'd love them to turn up to a Parkrun, imagine being lapped by a walker, even though you're putting in a very good time yourself

Bet Larry Grayson would have been good in this

Discovery+, that's where the golf is.

I spent ages looking for this channel on Sky Go and Firestick, then it turns out the golf is on BBC as well. Oh no wait - they keep cutting away to show rowing or swimming or some other nonsense.

The advantage of the BBC, everyone (with a TV license can watch it). The disadvantage, there are so many sports that they need to flick between all of them as they go on in parallel (not sure if the Red Button allows you to watch what you want uninterrupted?)

Are the Olympics also on Eurosport?

Thank you! Why did nobody mention this before? Spent ages looking for it in the channel list. Installing it on the firestick now.

Ahhh nope - it's not free, it's asking me to sign up and pay. Oh well, looks like I'm not watching the golf today then.

You not got an iptv subscription?

 

[Orikoru]

You not got an iptv subscription?

Yes but couldn't find it on there - presumably as mentioned above because it's an app and not a channel. I don't use it very much to be honest and it's hard to find anything as it is. I've given up now, no golf for me today.

Aaah, I got rid of Sky last month but I always thought it was a channel not an app

 

[Arthur Wedge]

So close but still a brilliant silver

Good. He’s one of those that shouldn’t be there.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Will that be the end for Glover. Some career

We paid £3.99 cancel anytime. Watching golf now

 

[AmandaJR]

As Red Deil advised £3.99 will get you the app and every sport that's on live.

It's free with Sky Q but not regular Sky unless you have TNT Sports.

Get me all tech savvy!!!

3 rowing medals. I'll take that. I'm not loving Katerine Grainger's punditry. She's kinda negative...

I was in the car for the rowing and pundit on that was painful. A/ No wonder the GB team came second, they only had Helen Glover in the boat....... B/ Not sure how they didn't win, all they needed was Glover's experience, nothing more

Sounded like a great race, both boats gave it everything, hats off to the Dutch. We nicked the one yesterday, today they held on. Heads held high all around.
