weekevie04 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 You didn't miss much with the medal ceremony unless you wanted to see Murray mime along to G.S.T.Q. The match itself was excellent. Murray's all round game is superb, although he does tend to let his opponent back in to his game. Was amazed at the amount of broke serves yesterday, maybe that's a bit harsh on JDP as he was excellent too - although found the net quite often. I play a bit of squash when home and pretty disappointed that IOC didn't include it. No idea why I'm saying that, but what sports would you like to see cut/added to the Olympics?

I was surprised to see Trampolining was an Olympic sport. And as much as I enjoy Golf it just doesn't seem to fit in at the Olympics.

Youc an probbaly make a case for the inclusion of 20/20 cricket to give likes of Sri Lanka a chance to win medals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one round my way has a rowing lake in their back yard or exercise yard for their horse but my next door neighbours do have a trampoline!

Mox Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Football, golf, dressage and tennis off the top of my head should be cut. If the Olympics isn't the pinnacle of a particular sport it shouldn't be included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckielugger Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 great stuff Andy..although mad tennis with nearly every game a break of serve or so it seemed! both players looked totally knackered by the end but amazing courage once again from Andy. the "english supporters" commentary was just funny & nicely embarrassing for the BBC.... delighted to see Bolt put the appalling cheat Gatlin firmly in his place once again.

Coldo Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) Cavendish taking out the competition - nasty! Commentators keep on saying it was accidental?

weekevie04 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Cavendish wipes out the Korean rider - unintentionally possibly - yet the BBC haven't mentioned how he is. He was carried out on an stretcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
