bonzo Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I think when they don't show a replay of the event you fear the worst,but they say she walked to the ambulance. It was the same in the men's race Chris boardman is going nuts about it saying the hill was to dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckielugger Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Was watching women on bikes too and did fear Dutch girl could have a broken neck minimum and possibly fatal - hit head hard on concrete at full speed - looked super nasty. Boardman had said repeatedly descent was too dangerous and no adequate safety protection for riders . Did look like Chris's worst fears had happened - must have brought his Mum's recent fatal crash to mind immediately too. Hope Dutch girl proves ok.

That's great encouragement for the clubs in these days of elite performance centres. A pity Ross Murdoch missed out on the final, he seems to have been out of sorts, didn't even qualify for his favoured 200m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weekevie04 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Been enjoying it, more so the red button and the lesser known sports. Enjoying water polo, handball, swimming and the tennis was last night was very exciting - Murrays going out and big Delpo knocking out Djoko. I know it's the BBC and all, but wish they'd lay off the ''Russia bad, mother Blighty good'' shit a little. Or ''plucky Johnny Britain did brilliant to come 58th in the fencing''. Will be up tonight for Le Clos and Phelps. I didn't see the London ceremony, but seen and heard on other sites and newspapers ''ours was much better than Rio''. I thought the opening ceremony was excellent this year. I enjoyed the history of Brazil segment greatly, and the colours/co-ordination was excellent. I was half-expecting more from Gisele and her last catwalk, I've no idea what, but a long speech or something ;), but it didn't happen.

Probably for the best if it was going to be tainted... The hypocrisy of the BBC and wider media is mind-boggling. Barely mentioning this. Heard one commentator saying 'We know she's clean. She's a Brit'. Really? Would you like me to name some? I can start at 'A' and work my way through the alphabet if you'd like. 'C' is particularly good. 21 hours ago, bonzo said: I think when they don't show a replay of the event you fear the worst,but they say she walked to the ambulance. It was the same in the men's race Chris boardman is going nuts about it saying the hill was to dangerous. Was watching it live and said right away to the wife that she was hurt bad. There's an alternate video on You Tube and the insensitivity of the cameraman is astonishing, although I suppose he's not allowed to touch her. 5 hours ago, fishcumnock said: Women's beach volleyball the highlight of viewing for me ,fit ! ????

Our lass is watching the diving at the moment. It is unfathomable pish and the attempts of the expert commentator to make every dive sound crucial is grating my cheese. Ooh - here comes tom Daley and the other, less marketable one whose name they can't seem to remember. Off they go. Splash. Pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
