Big Ted talk like Thierry Henry and has charisma and var var voom with the French crowds who chant his name.3 -
Ok so the athletics coverage. Hearing lots from the panel on the BBC coverage and seeing none of the decathlon earlier or other stuff clearly going on, cheers in the background. Discovery has the pictures but no commentary to provide context. Understandable as this panel costs money but I think that, like football, they put too much faith in talking heads.
British bloke in the trampoline soon I think.2 -

Actually I feel the standard of BBC commentators has been pish-poor this year, and I really cant see how Jeanette Kwakye warrants a sofa position. Shes no Des Lynham, more Des O'Connor with her fake laughter.
As an aside, when I see some of the football presenters out there now, it baffles me how Scott Minto ended up doing Charlton TV, when he's much better than many of the ones on regular TV0 -
Women's 800 metres:
26 year old GB Jemma Reekie wins her heat.
17 year old GB Phoebe Gill qualifies in 3rd place in her heat; a year ago she was a school's runner !
22 year old Favourite GB Keely Hodgkinson wins her heat.0 -
Loving the trampolining on the red button. British bloke has done OK, Columbian almost got to the end of his routine and head butted the side covering, and a kiwi has just gone over the side completely.

really pleased for Phoebe, that was a really mature run for a 17 year old, held her line at 700m which caused the Italian to have to change line and took her out of it. a lot of athletes would have moved and let her through1

It’s been a really good day for team GB and hopefully it should be a good evening in the pool and BMX.0

Brilliant swim by Duncan Scott to get the Silver behind the French Super star Leon Marchand who wins his 4th gold in front of his adoring fans.

Is it like speedway, who goes round the first bend always wins?0

Beth Shriever dominates 6 races and then gets Gazumped in the final and finishes last !
Beth has a great attitude and good to see an athlete not crying and seeing the jeopardy in BMX and knowing the final just didn't go to plan.
I find it a strange format.5 - Sponsored links:

I thought we’d have a BMX medal but we weren’t there tonight. Shame but I enjoyed the racing.0

She won all her heats. So got 6 points. Wtf was that all about then ? I heard afterwards that there were other heats that she didn't take part in (and that the eventual winner (Oz) won), who must presumably have got 6 points as well. No clue why there were 3 heats & then 3 semi finals......that really didn't count for very much in the end. How many competitors were there to start with...50 ????1 -
One good thing that came out of today was that I've now got Discovery+. No cost as I've got TNT too (which I was going to cancel last month).
It does mean that I can watch the final round of the golf on Sunday.......now just have to figure out how to sync up my laptop to my tv. (Worse comes to the worse I can just use the HDMI leads like I do for Charlton tv).0 -

I’ve got Discovery+ £30.99 for a month 😳I think and will cancel at the end of month.
Is that where I can watch the athletics live , got it late last night and every time I clicked on stuff it sent me to Eurosport which I already have 🙄
Bbc didn’t appear to have anything live athletics wise , it’s such a fucking faff with bbc ,iPlayer, Eurosport and slow wanky discovery plus app on sky go
it’s getting on my nerves twatting around
edit ; thanks to those who said what to do earlier
ive not read hardly any of this thread , sorry if I’m repeating guff others have posted

The BBC show the 3 on 3 basketball between France and USA and it was nicely poised with 3 minutes to go. They announce it is on the red button and change channels. They could easily have shown the conclusion and missed out all their adverts and opening credits. The red button is not instant and some people may not have access to it and there wasn't even a mention of it after that. The BBC really are making a mess of this.3
