He's not quite at his peak anymore, so to take a medal of any colour is a great achievement. We were all willing him to get that first touch but it wasn't to be. The overhead shot of 7/8 swimmers virtually touching together was a testimony as to how close it was.
Team GB has performed so well at the past three Olympics. As with Adam Peaty, we shouldn't assume a medal as a certainty in that we might not be finishing quite as high up the medal table a fortnight today.
currently watching the diving. it's a bit like me watching the gymnastics - everyone seems fantastic but then the commentator says "oh, that was really disappointing..."
Just got back from dropping the car for its MOT so missed the diving. A bit like gymnastics in what they do is fantastic but I don't like sports that are solely dependant of judges' scores. So, I won't be watching dressage, skateboarding, synchronised swimming, etc. either.
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).
