Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Am watching Nadal and Alcaraz.

Felt sorry for Josh Tarling in the bike time trial - he got a puncture which overall probably lost him about 30 seconds and then finished 4th by 2 seconds. The fact he’s (just) younger than DragonSon probably also makes me feel maternal towards him.

Eurosport is better for live coverage, BBC too focused on reflection and stories IMO

I think the BBC is because of rights issues. Since Discovery+ got the coverage for 2020 it’s gone downhill fast.

True, Cheg. I remember the days when you could follow umpteen streams on the red button.
Still think they could show more live sport though, Eurosport have the rowing at the moment. OK it's only the repachage but always good to see other nations competing rather than focusing so much on GB

I switched off BBC coverage as too much talking in a studio and not enough sport

The BBC now is only good for the big stuff. The swim finals and the athletics. The rest is definitely too much chat not enough sport.

That is a good explainer from the bbc.

About This Thread

Maintained by Curly45
Couldn't find a thread so thought I would start one.

Who else is off to watch or who is watching at home?

We're doing Lille and Paris and a mix of sports. Currently trying to find travel insurance that includes ticket cancellation as some of the trains in the UK might be difficult and we have some internal French trains to do as well.

Also need to work out the new Paris metro ticket/app combo (Navigo I think).
