    Couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke then Tom, great that he’s got the medal all that hard work and toil he’s put in.

    Tears in my eyes with pride and relief at GB’s Tom and Matt winning GOLD. Funny how patriotism gets you at the Olympics. Brilliant.

    So pleased for Daley, pressure at a young age and finally an Olympic Champion. Superb round of diving, not that I'm an expert.

    Knackering just watching Tom Pidcock going around that course.

    Great stuff today with that last dive from Daley and Lee immaculate. Imagine the pressure they're under to do that.

    now it's underway I am enjoying what little I have seen .. the Triathlon, surely the hardest won medals .. the events so far have been those where the missing crowds are not really obvious .. it'll be different when the athletics start and the lack of spectator atmosphere will really show.

    Three brilliant golds! 
    And quite a silver for Alex Yee - Lewisham lad - any chance he's an Addick? Probably outpaced a few on here in the local park run.

    I hadn't realised that the BBC can only show two events at the same time (even on the red button) because Eurosports outbid them for the rights.

    Discovery bought the world wide rights, we are lucky it's on Eurosport else it would all be on discovery+

    It was Discovery who I believe bought Eurosport a few years ago but yes that is the reason. I can't criticise BBC over it though, Discovery are huge.

    Discovery bought the rights for all of Europe, thought with the agreement that there would be some free to air coverage in every country

    If the time zone had been more favourable I might have bought a Discovery + subscription, only £6.99 for a month, and they have a promo £29.99 annual deal

    Wife got a discovery + membership last month for all the reality junk they put on there. Was very pleasantly surprised the other day to see I've got all the Olympic events at my fingertips. It's worth noting if you've got SkyQ you can get discovery+ free for 6 months

    Tokyo 2020: S Korea TV sorry for using pizza to depict Italy

    Skateoarding as an Olympic sport??

    What a load of woke nonsense!!

    God I'm getting old
    Will hazard a guess more people skateboard than row, windsurf, sail etc 
    And I'd hazard a guess that a 470 or a 49er are slightly more expensive than an Element or a Plan B skateboard.

    More people play cricket or go fishing than skateboard.

    Well done Alex Yee.

    And well done the winner, a Norwegian looking for all the world like a bloke running down the road in his faded blue pants.
    Alex Yee is a Lewisham boy too - I had to look it up when he said he was from South East London

    Trouble is the coverage is seriously crap. The studio seems to be computer generated, unfortunately on a Commodore  64.
