Michael Johnson doing well to be so magnanimous - he must be a bit gutted!

He's one of my favourite sports broadcasters. He's very knowledgeable but also clear and emotionally invested. He's repeatedly had to deal with records he clearly holds dear being broken by Bolt and dealt with it with dignity.

I can't work out how come he broadcasts for the BBC - he's an absolute Legend. How come he's not on US tv?

If I recall right he thinks NBC sucks by comparison to the BBC

Read an article in the last few days saying such. Stuck in the past, crap stereotypes etc

Muhammad Ali about to fight for GB in the mens Flyweight.

For a Quarter Final place.

Venezualen gets 3 warnings for holding in the first round

[ChesterDave]

Come on Ali put him ont he floor.

[ChesterDave]

Is it possible to actually have a point deducted for holding?

[ChesterDave]

Must have been close to 20 warnings from the ref in the 3 rounds.

GB second in the medal table...

...do we put to much funding towards this?

I really don't know a thing about gymnastics, but just sat here watching the news and it showed Max Whitlock's ground performance (or whatever it is) and it all looked pretty so so. The american girl that won it the other day looked great, landed better, looked more springy (I know, I know), looked head and shoulders above Max. Are the women just superior at gymnastics?

No.

If this much funding went into it and the team came away with nothing, then it would be a waste of money. Otherwise, it's money which is spent for a specific purpose successfully.

The spending has been vindicated.

[ChesterDave]

I don't know how much Government funding goes into it, if any. But I think they had a graphic up earlier saying the Lotto Funding is at £347m for Rio.
