    This olympics has shown me how shit athletics actually is. No crowds really effecting the track and field. 

    BMX earlier on was brilliant.
    I don't know a good pile up in the 800 is always fun

    The quality in the high jump currently is insane.

    Person from China randomly pops up to get the best time in the 100m. 

    Hmmmmmmmmmm.
    Not randomly at all. He's been famous for some years. I even mistakenly thought this was his second time into the final...

    Ranked 14th best sprinter in the world this season. 

    At 31 years old runs his fastest ever time by a 0.1 gap (big gap in sprinting). 

    He's suspicious. 



    Takes a year off before the Olympics so I wonder if he was tested in 2020.

    Superb High Jump competition.
    First time I've seen Tamberi the Italian, when he hasn't been half cut!

    What happened to the Jamaican's? Their women are rapid, but not a single man in the final.
    Zharnel Hughes trained in Jamaica throughout his childhood until he chose to represent the GB team due to being Antiguan. 
    Not even Antiguan, Anguillan - tiny little place, entire population is about half the capacity of the Valley!

    Never really watched the olympics before, always thought they would be pretty boring. 2012 I was lucky enough to be working at hyde park in an Olympics event around the athletes (BT London Live) so that passed me by purely because I was in the heart of it if that makes sense. 

    I tuned in today for the first time and haven't been able to switch off. I didn't realise how quickly it would switch between different sports and how little time would be "filler." You really don't need to be interested in the individual sports to get excited.

    Especially when the Portuguese triple jumper looks like that, my lord.

    That Venezuelan triple jumper was 6 feet long at birth i reckon. Never seen someone so gangly. 
    She’s basically in the sand after her hop & skip ffs. No one else had a chance.

    Wonder if that's ever happened before. 

    Think they wanted it all wrapped up before the 100m final.

    BBC commentator: She's won gold, now can she put the icing on the cake?

    Mid jump: No!

    Landing: And it's a new World Record!

    She was so relaxed, I thought she wasn't going to complete the jump - then she got the WR!

    I've just measured my floor to ceiling and it's 2m34, mental to think the high jumpers just jumped higher with only a run up!!!!
