2016 Summer Olympic Games - Rio

[Buzzo]

Looks like it's Going to pens.

Brazil really really want to win this. The crowd are going ape**** for everything. Jeering every German touch.

I think they will blow it if it goes to pens.

[Buzzo]

The atoms with these pens is insane.

There is so much pressure on the Brazilians, the crowd giving the Germans loads of stick.

I've been watching the Balkan derby needle match which was the water polo gold medal game featuring Croatia 🇭🇷 vs Serbia 🇷🇸 in between BBC4 beach cleaning tractor shenanigans.

It went Serbia's way.

Watching the javelin, I'm brought back to the days of Steve Buckley. We used to be good at this. And most athletics, come to think about it.

66 medals for Team GB

More than in London. A fantastic achievement. So many amazing people who have put their lives on hold for four years or more to achieve what they have. And now they have their more than well deserved moment in the public eye.

They all put the football industry in the shade.

When? Prior to Beijing we used to win **** all medals on anything apart from the odd rower. Steve Backley in with a shot of a medal was rare snippet of excitement for us.

Pathetic attendance - Mo Farrah in a mainly empty stadium for his medal.

Pathetic attendance - Mo Farrah in a mainly empty stadium for his medal.

That's because the games are unaffordable to the average Rio citizen, who didn't want them in the first place. It also coincided with the football final, which was the one gold medal that Brazil really wanted.

I'm sure Mo Farrah will be fine

In the 80s.

Backley and Mick Hill getting battered by Zelezny ....Ade Mafe losing out in the 200m heats, John Regis trailing in 8th in his 100m heat in a season's best 14.37, Tom McKean tripping up in the 800m, Peter Elliott from Rotherham tripping up in the 1500m........etc.
