Spellczech Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Really enjoyable Olympics. Only new sports I didn't get into were the surfing & karate - were a bore compared to the rest which were amazing. Not a massive fan of elements the BBC coverage - All the family and primary school PE teacher interviews add nothing at all; and the interviewers efforts to make competitors cry was uncomfortable viewing.

Chris Hoy said he could only remember someone riding off the front once before, so it was a bold decision that had to be taken in the blink of an eye.

Rowing pretty much only ones who let themselves down. Roll on Paris 2024. Timings will be ideal for viewing We normally do better in the athletics, in saying that injuries to two real medal hopes didn't help, KJT in the heptathlon & Dina in the 100m & 200m. Where we are a bit short right now is the 400m, especially the mens and we used to be so strong in it, however 3 years down the line, who knows. Seem to be fine for 100m, 200m, 800m & 1500m, it's just the 400m where we seem to be a bit short in both the flat & the hurdles. In saying that you have to be off your rocker to run the 400m, ran it once at Meadowbank at New Year, thought my heart & lungs were going to explode , never again, went straight back to the 110m sprint after that.
