Olympic swimming would be great if, instead of regular caps, they had to wear hats from country of origin, eg sombrero, bowler, cowboy hat

It really would be

[baitman]

love the hats idea.

a good variation of swimming would be underwater walking.

they would have to stop walking to surface and take a breath, then back under and get going. a weighted lead belt to make then negatively buoyant on each person.

i might email the IOC

Nighttime beach volleyball is half as good as daytime beach volleyball.

Joke refereeing in the boxing

[baitman]

did you see the ref disqualify the iranian boxer...

the ref was maybe right, but in the first round of the fight, he could have used some discretion and had a warning word in between rounds.

BBC, 20 minutes ago where showing the same boxing match on 2 of the three feeds available on Freeview. The Basketball was not being show and BBC1 had a 2nd repeat of the mens team event. The Hockey coverage has been shocking, although they have now turned it back on after a 2 minute switch off. Pretty poor if you don't have Sky.

And no beach volleyball in sight on FV.
