    I'm annoyed that the Paralympics have banned the entire Russian team, regardless of the athletes being clean or otherwise.
    The Paralympic movement should the world leader in the fight against prejudice and stereotyping, not actively and proudly pursuing it as a policy.

    I hope channel 4 stops playing that Yes I can advert.

    They have to start giving some tickets away to the locals. The boxing arena is sparse to say the least.

    Absolutely in awe of the cyclists in the Olympics road race. How the hell do they go so long without checking their phones?

    Ling gets bronze in the clay shooting.

    Boring. They should shoot at sprinting criminals

    Looked like a housing estate over the back where they were shooting.

    Our boys are doing really well on the pommel horse.

    I've been practicing all day, but it's just not the same on the ironing board.

    Thanks Rob, I was aware who Eric the Eel was, though.

    Awesome.

    This is why I love the Olympics, I won't watch diving/gymnastics etc for another four years but I'll watch (and get into) anything where British competitors are involved.

    Yep, if you don't knock the Germans into fourth place, then it has to be the French. :-)

    I dont understand how gymnastics is in the Olympics when other circus acts like tightrope walking, the flying trapeze & sword swallowing isnt.

    Bit harsh - they're extraordinary athletes.

    This commentator/summariser on the gymnastics is a complete tool. Having to turn the sound off.

    Consists of 'oh heu hooo, gotta love that, GOTTA LOVE THAT.' No analysis nothing.

    The gymnastics is amazing when they show it. Most of the coverage is them waiting to move on to the next apparatus and warming up. All you hear is cheering in the back ground of something you can't see! V frustrating.

    To be fair they haven't been helped by the normal commentator Mitch Fenner passing away just before the Olympics.

    On a knife edge this.

    Have you tried " the rings" using the shower curtain ?

    They certainly don't seem to show too much of team GB.
