It was, very exciting and over in 12 seconds. Reminds me of the good old days when I was sowing my wild oats.

He's an absolute donkey of a footballer but he scores goals. Watching him today was like watching a baby elephant. People don't listen either. They kept accusing Roy Keane of calling him a league 2 player. He said that his all-round game is league 2 level. Huge distinction. This guy is a...

Another gold for the Americans in women's 100m hurdles. Visser is stunning.

Yer, that is just the way it is between men and women. Players at a similar level, the men will always hammer the women. I mean I was a good footballer when younger (still am to a point now) and when i watch women's football i think I could more than match them (in my youth). It's just that men...

I agree with some of that, not all. But the bold I agree with fully I think.

Raats misses all three jumps but he gave it a good go so I am not gonna chew him out.

Tamberi makes his third jump! Superb.

The joint gold medalist guy from the high jump in Tokyo, Barsham, just jumped and cleared. He was injured the other day so pleased he's fine as it's a much better competition with him and his Italian mate.

Yeah you're right. But sadly the rules can never work that way. But they really do both deserve gold with that minsicule gap over an 800m race.

It did seem a fast race. The Algerian guy is brilliant but left himself with too much work.

Arop to win (y)

I would have given it a watch tonight but the downside of the Olympics is all the big sports are on at once and I am watching track and field.

Yeah I have been waiting for it.

It looks like it takes immense skill and agility.

Fair points. They all take immense talent though. Those two and breaking.

Yeah I am not saying it doesn't take loads of skill and it surely has loads of worth. I could never do it and when I have seen it in films etc it looks brilliant. I just never thought of it as a sport. I guess it's one of them sports where it's demonstrative ie it's down to subjectivity of the...

Horatio doesn't respect gymnastics :(

Is its name actually 'breaking'? Or do they think it sounds like less of a sport if they call it breakdancing? I didn't even know it was in the Olympics til a month or so ago.

Yeah, it's just that sports favour men almost every time. Some other realms of society favour women. I still believe women should be very supported in sport, though. The elite women in track for example are still better than 99 per cent of men as most men aren't elite either.

Yeah. I still think women are closer (relatively speaking) to men in sports like track and field and swimming, than football. Not close, as I believe the top 500/1000 men could beat the number 1 woman in track. But I feel they'd have better chance than a woman's team playing against a men's...
