    No.

    To make up for the change in what they can wear there is a change in format.

    It will now be known as Beach Rollerball.

    I've got tickets for this next Saturday.

    To be honest, I'd rather go to Horseguards Parade to watch The Changing of The Guard.

    Must be my age.

    If you press the red button on BBC1 you can watch any Olympic sport that is happening. So far I've seen archery, swimming, dressage, beach volleyball, cycling ......

    One channel here. You get what they show and that is it. I am without satellite at the moment though so things may improve. No doubt at 8pm they will cut away for the Royal news followed by a Thai soap, maybe returning in the middle of the night.

    I've been trying to watch sports that I don't usually watch today and so far the best have been Handball and Beach Volleyball. Shame it got cold in the evening and the ladies had to cover up.

    At one stage yesterday on the Bbc channels there was Mens beach Volleyball and Womens Football ....that's just so so wrong !

    Must admit to becoming a fan of woman's handball, it's certainly not the cleanest of sports, fouls ever few seconds, and a goal nearly every minute, most entertaining. Only watched it because we got tickets for it on Wednesday evening and as we never seen it thought it might be a good idea to get a clue of what's happening. Really looking forward to going now, but still don't understand the rules, but who cares.

    Agreed. Why on earth show men's when you can show the crumpet.

    What an absolutely fantastic afternoon, finished off by the British girls winning. If you get a chance to go, then grab it. Best afternoon out for a long while!

    Great morning there today. If interested on men's side, keep an eye on Latvia. Dominant against what appeared to be a decent South African side.
