Cricket used to be an Olympic sport.The Olympics leave me a little cold now with medals being taken away and given to someone else years later because of cheating.

I don't think it's right that they have the prefix 'Russia' before Olympic Committee as their name. Even the commentators are calling them Russia.
They should be called Olympic Athletes and carry no flag, IMO.

FFS Jade Jones you were supposed to be nailed on for the Gold medal but you got knocked out in the first round and I stayed up for this.

It's about the taking part,not the glory.Every morning in assembly our dear old headmaster used to say a prayer, that had in it the words,may we love the game above the prize.

Some of the sports are not very easy on the eye and it's hardly surprising theyre never watched outside of the Olympics. That Taekwondo looks like two very drunk blind men trying and failing to emulate Bruce Lee. I wonder what your average Taekwondo fan would make of watching Orient?

British swimming has always flattered to deceive, but suddenly, as if from nowhere we’ve got some real contenders, apart from Peaty. Can’t wait for the relays, we have a real chance of more medals 🥇

Felt sorry for the young lass in the canoe slalom. Made some mistakes and literally gave up. Must be devastating that years of training goes up in smoke in seconds. It was written all over her face.
