More embarrassing 'makey-up athletics medal table' **** from the BBC..................

I bet you complain about the licence fee too, don't you.

I thought the BBC have covered it pretty well all in all. Few duffers for commentary but better option than any other broadcaster over here by a long way

So when they do it for the Swimming, Gymnastics, Rowing, Boxing, Judo or anything else it's made up too.

Come on, people will moan about anything. The BBC coverage has been top notch all bar a few mess ups. They are covering every event, every day.

Edit: What's wrong with Celebrating excellence so far?

Edit 2: It's the same as showing a league table in Novemeber.

I'll let you lads moan about the license fee on that side of the water..........unfortunately I've to pay Sky for supplying BBC on their service over here.
I do complain about paying the license fee over here in Ireland, and all I get is the advert-plagued RTE for my trouble.

Watching Bolt in slo-mo against the other guys, his acceleration from about 30m to 80m is just nuts.

Shame Gatlin got the bronze, but the rest of the field were class. Bolt and Blake are fantastic for sport.

Great stuff

Ahh.....I'm only joshing mate !
Just show the medal table for what it is though, Britain are doing well in that from what I gather.........highlighting a specific table is little more than filling up dead-air.
Britain will be left behind in an athletics table when its all counted out, so why bother to highlight it ? (apart from when you're sitting on top of a handful given out)

[Chazza]

[Neil Young]

Paul Lewis @PaulLewis
It appears Dutch judo bronze medalist @edithbosch punched the drunk man who threw a bottle at the start of 100m final. #Olympics #Bolt

[Leyton388]
