Suntanning is cancelled because the highest medal that can be won is Bronze.

You probably have better coverage on TV than we have in the UK ..the BBC has completely lost track of what they are doing there have been so many complaints about the coverage my six year old grand daughter could do better..

So do I. I've forgotten what it's like to move any faster then walking.

I thought I was a good badminton player until I watched it from the Olympics. Oh well better keep practising.

Re: Olympic sport O/T

The Beeb has been limited to the way the program is run as the Olimpic Committee sold the viewing rights to other channels that are paying channels
Example of the crap broadcast was the Men's Tri athathalon we were in second place at almost the Finnish when they say you can watch on I player so you press the red button and just miss the English guy actually wins..
And talk about game fixing our girl in the skeet shooting was in gold medal position final shot it was said it was a miss but video shows a hit even the crowed said it was a hit but no overulled..
I have always been an Athletics fan and but this has spoiled it for me. ...
And see that ITV pulled one over Beeb and put on the Moto GP over the weekend.. full coverage

Very little coverage of the shooting, enjoyed some shot putt a and Javelin the other night.

The "hammer" is quite good to watch even if it bears very little resemblence to a hammer

, try hammering in a nail with a bloody great weight on the end of a piece of wire

Who needs a signature anyway......

The IOC promote fairness in sport, then why not do the right thing, admit the judges got it wrong and announce a draw and upgrade Amber Rutter's medal to gold. Justice would be seen to be done.

Yes, Jerry, I thought I was good at riding a motorbike till I saw you but, in my case, there'd be absolutely no point in continuing to practise.

Re: Olympic sport O/T

Thanks for your kind thoughts Jerry.
Lucky/unlucky?
I am well aware that some/most of my health shyte comes from my old working life.
Unlucky in that I'm paying the price, lucky that I have survived so long and aim to survive a while longer

Re: Olympic sport O/T

Dave, the blue badge ordeal is easy enough. My Brother got one for mild asthma, other Brother for prostater cancer, mum for arthritis, Sister for PTSD, Grandson for ADHD aged 14. Just smile at them. I got mine back in 1979 and been reassessed about 30 years ago. They just renew now.

If anyone wants to watch the shooting, watch American news programmes.
