Stadium light show was cool.
Hoping for an upset and a miracle run from an underdog.

It looked like he had it to me.
Which is a shame, he seems like a bit of a dickhead.

I'd never heard of her 'til last night, but now I'm a fan.
Did any of the tabloids go with 'Unbelieva-Bol!' as a headline? Should've done, if not - what a finish!

Climbing is an interesting case because one of the three disciplines is largely ignored by the climbing community at large and the other two are basically training exercises being played competitively. Also the IOC have dubbed the Olympic set-up “sport climbing” which is already the name of a different climbing discipline which has been established for decades. Adventure and extreme sports being brought into the establishment is interesting to me in general. Skateboard, BMX, Surfing, Climbing etc have all thrived and grown at various times because they were outsider pursuits and now there’s subsidies and funding attached to some athletes and some interesting growing pains and Creme Brulee-ing as a result. I wonder if its on the consideration list to add something like fell or trail running as another outdoor pursuit. Ultra marathons are getting more and more popular so you could roll it into one event. Who wouldn’t want to see the coverage cut away to some lush mountain the runners are busy on? It much simpler than that. Olympics TV audiences across all age groups are declining. The viewing figures for the Under 30s are causing a lot of worry inside the IOC. Your product needs to deliver that demographic for advertisers. Toyota have already decided to end their sponsorship of it. US TV viewing is apparently up something like 67% from Tokyo. Mainly down to Snoop Dog.

Pleased that D'Amato was the one to benefit. She narrowly missed out the other day.

Is the battle kayaking getting shown today?
I swear every time I look at either BBC channel its gymnastics (admittedly jawdropping) or some kind of swimming/diving.
