Nice one. Seems they were out-bid for the next 10 years. These streams are great quality and you dont have a QR code popping up every 5 minutes telling you to watch something else.
Fantastic news! And more money saved for Doctor Who and Strictly Dancing so everyone should be happy.

Though BBC said that back when they had dozens of feeds, 90% of people only watched the main two.

Just been watching the Ladies Street Skateboarding.
I still don't get how Japan has so many top skateboarders, when there are almost zero skate parks, skateboarding is looked down on and outlawed pretty much everywhere, and I basically never see anyone skateboarding. *shrug*

Few of them can legally buy a beer. |

Few of them can legally buy a beer. A lot of them are the same ones from Tokyo, so they're 3 years older than they were back then. 
The girl from Thailand is 12 I think.
The couple of skaters who are like 22 do look a bit like Tim surrounded by kids though.  |

I wish the BBC had fewer talking heads and back stories.
Some great events so far though. The archery right now is tense.

Wearing a plaster on your chin seems like a sensible idea, surprised not more doing it.

They're built for accuracy than power so probably not much use against mutant monsters or armoured up marauders.

Wow, that was tense - how many other sports need a magnifying glass to decide gold!

More sports should need magnifying glasses, glad to see Korea win, I know they always seem to but I'll take them over China any day.

This skateboarding final is the least cool thing I’ve watched in ages. 95% of it has just been people falling over.

British bronze in canoe with a very dramatic fuck up from the defending German in the last run, wow.

I watched the ladies skateboarding too and yeah, Yoshizawa was the coolest one there. 14 and an Olympic Gold.
Fascinated with the fencing right now.

He's got that twice-divorced drinking problem detective look. I bet he's only 25.
