Victorian Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Still buzzing from that. Not a single UK athlete deserved an overdue success more than her.

PortyJambo Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 It was live on BBC1 where I watched it, apart from them cutting away a couple of times for field events and a swimming final or two, which is kind of expected when it's a 30 min race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) I think someone suggested the track & field moved to the iplayer when they cut away to highlights. They didn't make it clear that they were going back to it. Edited August 3, 2022 by Victorian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 Well swimming events lived up to hype. Don't begrudge England won in relay and we grabbed bronze in any case. Ross Murdoch swam his best for years, Shanahan did well with 2 bronze while in relays, loads of Scots swimmers got medals thanks to the rules. Honestly think the atmosphere in pool is best in multi sport games and they rattle through events at pace. GB will have awesome swim team in Paris 2024.

If you had full all inclusive Olympics, it would last about 5-6 weeks, number of competitors would run into thousands and village would be enormous.

Yes of course it's going to be much bigger, more competitors etc etc, however I still think a lot of places will look at the Commonwealths and see if it's feasible for them to do similar.
