Olympics 2016

Monday  17:00

Just  sitting here  watching  Dressage  on  BBC 1

Should  be  getting  van  set up  for  Dorset,  but  utterly  mesmerised  by  the  superb  control  these  riders  have  over  1/2  ton of  horse  flesh  !  So  little  movement  from  the  rider,  I'm  beginning  to  think  riders  &  horses  are  all  robots !

And  it's  another  gold  in  the  Individual  Dressage altho  possibly  already  accounted  for  due  to  time  difference,  replays  etc  etc  ==  but the  first  time  I've  seen  it  ===  so  "Whooopeee"  from  Brian

Just watched the dressage,  brilliant, well done Charlotte!  

It's been good, the lottery funding has really produced results, keep toning those finger muscles on the scratch cards everyone! 

To be serious it's all been impressive. I haven't spent time watching a lot but I was willing the rowing teams on! 

Will it soon be over?

I've really enjoyed watching so many different sports. Great to see the Brits doing so well, but also love watching the amazing performances from athletes from any country.

What's this Two times' this and 'Two times' that I am hearing from the BBC commentators. Surely it should be Double eg Double Olympic gold medalist!

Will it soon be over?

No! another week of enjoyment, and then there's the paraolymics to follow.

What's this Two times' this and 'Two times' that I am hearing from the BBC commentators. Surely it should be Double eg Double Olympic gold medalist!

I  suppose  they  are  trying  to  make  the  BBC's  output  more  USA  friendly  -- 

Watched the cycling, pity about the Cavendish collision but the winner made a good recovery and MC got silver.
