Yes, Murray got a lovely send off from the crowd. Also Fritz and Paul were very classy.

Given the challenges with weather and outside broadcast all the music would have been pre-recorded. Rowan Atkinson has said that the Chariots of Fire piece at London 2012 was prerecorded and the orchestra were miming along as much as he was. They can’t risk their real instruments being ruined by the rain so have cheap replicas.

Yeah, I think even back in 1991 Whitney’s wasn’t a live vocal at a famous rendition of Star Spangled Banner. That one wasn’t pitch corrected as it wasn’t a thing then, and it’s likely she performed it in one or two takes in a studio. There was an awful live performance recently by Ingrid Andress, so there are live performances at these types of events on occasion - I think Prince did a famous live event at NFL, and it was raining then, which could have led to technical issues. Anyway, it was great to see Celine out there regardless, with what she’s going through.

I’m surprised that nothing has been said about that swimmer who broke a world record Wednesday night and was a full second ahead of everyone else.
I assume drug testing happens straight away?

Why would there be an assumption there was drug cheating involved rather than hard work in training and good coaching support?

I didn't realise it started that early. Was going to put it on at 9 for the first of the decathlon events. Thanks, K5 Gus.
