    You have to remember the GB rugby team haven't played together before May (ok most are the English 7s) where as every other team has been building for the last 2yrs.

    Getting Silver is really the best they could hope. More impressive was getting there undefeated and the teams they beat on the way.

    We looked like we knew we were beaten before it even started. Put so much effort into our tight quarter and semi finals, that we looked totally gone by the time the final started. Fiji were immense though, although 7s is supposedly their national sport so not exactly unexpected.

    Just waiting for Ireland and hurling to be allowed in.

    Anyone watching the women's 10,000m? How quick is this Ethiopian?

    that was by a long way the greatest women's distance race of all time. sub 30 in the 10,000m not getting a medal is ridiculous

    That rowing was brilliant. Love the mutual respect Redgrave has with the teams and coaches.

    Jess' arsecheeks are too big for the high jump, all the other girls are rake thin, but as she's got the curves she's bumped into the bar

    The Canadian chicks tanlines are a bit distracting tbh.

    when she puts on the t-shirt that's just long enough to cover her pants/shorts so all you can see is the tan line it looks like she's wearing nothing underneath. someone really should tell her

    Challenges what he perceives to be racism on one thread, goes on to post a number of posts which could be perceived as sexist on another. Good work.

    Some great competition going on but the games are being spoilt by the number of empty seats in the stadiums/arenas. Awarding future games should also be dependent on the host city filling the majority of seats or paying a fine.

    Of your can't beat em, join em right?

    Not sure how commenting on tan lines are sexist though, especially as I made the exact same comment about some of the male gymnasts, and male golfers with their cap tanlines too, but hey whatever, you try to score those nonexistent points mate

    I agree, but my wife thinks it's great.

    Same as trampolining, how the fuck is this an Olympic sport!

    Callum Skinner must have had one of the shortest ever Olympic Records on record.

    Well done boys.

    Wtf is up with the skeet shooting firing stance? Resting on the hip?

    Worst sport I've ever watched. But I was glued to it.

    Oh fuck that. It's still going on. This makes no sense.
