The BBC seems very restricted in what it's allowed to cover. They show as many interviews as actual sport.

Marchand has been brilliant for the games. Great for the host nation to have a success like him to energise the whole games.

Plus replays. They often imply coverage is live but I've seen most of it on Eurosport.

She's on fire. I just worry someone will take one for their team and take her out in the final.

Because their aggreement with Discovery/Eurosport only allows them 2 live channels at any time.
Eurosport is much better anyway

Ditto. Not really sure what went wrong except gate 6 gets you squidged unless you've got in front...
Still dumbstruck by the bmx. The Brit trounced everyone all the way up to the final. The final 
. Good job I don't bet, I'd have put the lot on her.

Two groups though so she hadn't faced the rider who set the fastest time. I still thought she'd get podium though.
But then at least come second. I get the other rider being faster but she got mullered by riders she had been waltzing past in previous rounds. I don't know whether nerves got the better but she was like a completely different rider. A pale shadow of herself.

I guess hers is an all or nothing strategy, and once the door was shut at the 1st turn it’s over?

Professional men’s football poisons and corrupts everything it touches…and is so inconsistent with the Olympic ideals…makes me wonder why on earth it is there. The Olympics don’t need football…see for proof of that the joy and fun of the first week.
