    Yeah I agree with that definitely.

    Yeah the volleyballs being light would be like kicking one of those floataways you used to get at the shop for like 80 pence and when you kicked it they fly into the air as if you were Bobby Carlos or Juninho, as you say. maybe exaggeration but it seems the volleyballs would be a lot lighter...

    Georgia Bell is fairly pretty too. Not Lieke Klaver level but I wouldn't throw her out of bed for eating crisps.

    It's a long story. It was Rangers, but as I grew up I realised that I have different political views to the club and most fans, so I stopped supporting really. Some people don't mind that, but it felt weird for me to want them to win when I don't have the same political/social ideals as the...

    Yeah I remember you saying you didn't have much interest in T and F but you got into it. Duplantis definitely moment of the athletics for me. I watched most of the opening ceremony the other day, I didn't watch it live but skipped through it on repeat. Some of it looked breathtaking tbh, like...

    Good point too, these things tend to cycle around don't they. I just wonder if we are reaching a case of diminishing returns with fitness and nutrition. Like with 4k being about as good as most eyes can see, so do we really need 8k? What do you think? Is there are a lot more to come from...

    That's a brilliant way to put it actually - a team of specialists that were in the same style and it resulted in something unbelievable. It can't be underestimated how important it is to get players who fit a system. That's partly why when people compare teams player for player in position it's...

    Swimming and athletics has been exceptional. Liked the climbing, handball, volleyball I watched too. I watched a couple of other bits and bobs but swimming and athletics dominate the entire two weeks, in morning and evening at least.

    This is daft. The Americans must have better gear than everyone else. They smashed everyone ffs. I know they were the faves but still. Lieke Klaver, Femke Bol, Amber Anning, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Gabi Thomas...what a sixsome that would be o_O

    true. Back from the errand in time for the women's relay. I saw Kerr winning on the TV in the Chinese takeaway place (for my elderly neighbour). Lol everyone is watching. Thankfully the Chinese place is only 2 mins walk.

    Another gold for the Americans, getting silly now. Tebogo nearly chased down benjamin.

    Yeah British commentators said they got wrong info. Then started talking about it being the right thing to do and it being a little disappointing in the spirit of competition that the two guys in 2021 shared (though they understood why they did).

    McEwen isn't gonna clear this height. Can Kerr?

    They refused to share gold, unlike Barshim and Tamberi three years ago.

    Also have to run a quick errand for neighbour at 8.10 pm UK time. Hope I don't miss the second relay

    I think McEwen would have had silver no? For clearing with a later jump? Might be totally wrong. If right I don't see the benefit to Kerr.

    Yeah I said that too. More players can build a career based on fitness and athleticism now. Plenty aren't actually that good at football, relative to players from the past. The game is more tactical now so it becomes more mechanical as you say. I like both tactical football and magical football...

    What jumps by McEwen and Kerr. This is shaping up amazing.

    No opinion myself as I said as I haven't watched him. But speaking more widely, it is definitely possible to enjoy watching players who are entertaining even if they're not great players or good enough for the top level. I have seen plenty when I watched Rangers and Celtic. Matt O Reilly will...

    Kipyegon far too good in women's 1500m. British girls finishing 3rd and 5th, well done. The blondes in 2nd and 3rd are stunners.
