JKD Posted August 2 Author Report Share Posted August 2 29 minutes ago, marsh man said: Far to much going on at the moment with medals coming in left right and centre to comment on any one final JKD . This have spurred me on to train for the next one , I was thinking of clay shooting but I couldn't see the clay so that won't help , I have been thinking of the B M X racing , maybe they might include the over 75s on the next one , come to think of it , if the good lord don't need me by then I will be able to ride in the over 80s . my god they don't half get a move on . MM Yeah, it's been a busy day with many more medals for Team GB 😄 I think it might be best for us to report and commentate on here,,,, much more relaxing 😆🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Watched the BMX live earlier, I'd just said to the kids watch this girl, she's amazing, hasn't lost a race yet. Now I've no idea why they do so many laps, I thought they were getting points or something, but she got closed out in the final, I thought she was guaranteed the Gold, but no medal yet she took it brilliantly, great show of sportsmanship 👏👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKD Posted August 3 Author Report Share Posted August 3 Well, it's been a brilliant start to the weekend with more medals from the rowing crews 😁🥳😄 How are the BBC going to keep up with all the events going on ?! 🤷♂️😆🤣 It's a shame they have no real control over what is broadcast. It is what it is 🙃 They are showing things that weren't broadcast live,,,, sort of in-house record-pause-rewind 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 Just seen the boxing when we came in, it's just not right. I've trained and sparred with women, when it's training then your just bodies, it doesn't matter about size or sex. But playing rugby league and mixed teams stop at under 12s But when you get up to the elite levels it's poles apart. Funny how you don't see any women wanting to compete with the men!! Not sure if it was Australia or USA but one of the women's swimming teams said if a trans gender tried to qualify then the whole team was dropping out!

I'd ignore the boxing,,,, they'll sort out any issues as it goes along. I'm now hooked on the Judo !!!

chrisjpainter Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 Femke Bol is a shark dressed in an orange vest. She's just relentless! A wonderful, wonderful race! But a great bronze for the Brits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKD Posted August 4 Author Report Share Posted August 4 Mens Cycling,,,, a big hats off to Remco Evenepoel for winning the road race, earning him his 2nd Gold of these Olympics 👏👏👏 Already the Time Trial winner, he got his tactics spot on once again ! 15 hours ago, Mice! said: I'm not looking, I was watching it this evening but was getting glared at as they were waiting for me to go out 🤣🤣 I'm also very biased when it comes to Judo, where everything can change in a second!!

JKD Posted August 4 Author Report Share Posted August 4 Amber Rutter got Silver 🥈 Despite not missing a shot in the final 10 [ as shown in the re-play] . Apparently no VAR at these Olympics 🤷♂️🙄 Took the decision like a true professional 👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&W FOX Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 First the umpire took them to the wrong station during the shoot off, obviously clueless about the rules, and then judges failed to see the last clay of Amber's that had the back edge taken out with her final shot and said it was a miss. Shocking refereeing for an Olympic final. Congratulations to Amber on the wrong colour silver you've just won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DammitMissedAgain Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 VAR at the ISSF World Cup, but not at the Olympics? Makes no sense to me. She was incredibly gracious about it all. Credit to her sport. Well done on the Silver - great achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
