Malinga the Swinga Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 Watching last 5 minutes of GB v Belgium reminded me of Euro indoors I was at few years back. Last game saw teams stay in own half and 2 guys passed it back and forward for 20 minutes between them. Draw saw one team win competition and other stay up. They need to play games at same time or this is what happens. Belgium basically played walking hockey whole game but reckon it's them v Aussies for final. That would be a cracking physical game.

Other sports have questioned the high funding for rowing previously. Maybe there are youngsters coming through and it's normal to have a dip. Rowing is the top funded sport, so they just said on BBC News. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 Great mixed relay performance in swimming and with the mens 4 X 100 relay tomorrow, that looks one to watch. I record it and watch without looking at results. Will be between US & GB. Must admit I can't be bothered with athletics. Imagine asking them to sacrifice individual race to run relay like the swimmers have done. They're the divas of the team, or at least, act like they are. Shame women's rugby 7's finished 4th, but they gave everything. Triathlon good as well, with top performances from all 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While athletes getting faster and stronger, with technology getting better and more accurate, it's a shame the standard of human refereeing, umpiring and judging is getting worse in all sports. They now consider themselves part of the 'experience' instead of just doing their job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 Once the athletics starts, it slows down the whole pace of Olympics with the qualifying jumping and throwing events taking what seems like forever while other events continue much faster. You don't get a few attempts to swim and box. You don't get a do-over at golf if you hit bad drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
