I thought the Fijian offloading and short passing was a joy to watch, even if the long passes were all loopers

That must prove that the BBC is far superior in every way in all sports coverage. That's two down & 194 countries left (though you may have to do better than a few anecdotal quotes).'" like these other countries paying the BBC for their expertise? You may believe that Equitorial Guinea has a fantastic private broadcaster all paid for through lovely capitalism, i dont think its likely enough for me to bother proving you wrong.
Quote: son of headingley "So I guess you must be the only viewer who doesn't believe the quality & quantity of football, rugby (RU & RL), cricket to name four sports hasn't been increased since Sky's involvement. The BBC had one camera per event (including cricket where every other over you couldn't even see what was happening - they didn't even have the world-beating technical mastery to put a camera at each end!). Events would be interrupted at random for all sorts of reasons, leaving the viewer frustrated. The concept of live games was reserved for FA Cup Finals & other one-off events. If Sky hasn't driven up standards in these sports (& not the BBC), then I don't really know what you should do. Oh yes, I knowYou should try watching it before the BBC and their innovations and have a look at the quality of broadcasting then!
Though if Sky and ITV's lovely wonderful invisible hand of the free market have created such fabulous content, why does the BBC beat them in to the ground on simulcast sports? 5 times more viewers watched the BBC's coverage than watched ITVs coverage of the Euro 2016 final

Very impressive from GB to be one medal ahead of where they were at the same stage in 2012. No country has ever increased their medal total the following games after hosting. We got 65 in London, our best 'away' showing in Beijing was 47 so we've got a great chance of beating that with us already on 30 with more medals already guaranteed today and with the likes of the Brownlee brothers still to come and Justin Rose looking in a good position to get a medal too in the golf.
And as I mentioned previously it's good to see our medals spread out over sports. With our 30 medals yes we have our stronger sports with swimming (6) and rowing and cycling (5) but not to the extent of some of the other countries near the top of the medal table. The swimming features so many different races/medals that it can really alter the table.
USA have 60 medals, 33 of them are from swimming only. So from all other events they 'only' have 27 which puts them near us (we'd have 24 if you took away our swimming ones in comparison). Australia have 22 medals, 10 of them from swimming. Japan have 24 medals, 12 of them from judo. So these countries are relying on one sport to give them around half of their medals so far.

Maybe the BBC is admired the world over....the Brazilian hen do that gate crashed the live BBC 4 coverage last night seemed to be impressed
www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/37077188
Could be in for a promising night. Max Whitlock already has one gold and has his better event still to come. Justin Rose leading the golf by 1 with a few holes left. Andy Murray to play and more track cycling.

| Do you know, I do believe there are more BBC personnel in Rio than there are spectators at most events. It seems that local populations have a general disinterest of things Olympics, whereas Auntie Beeb assures us that it is still the greatest sporting spectacle possible. Have presenters commented on how poorly-attended the vast majority of events have been? Do they not think that this is a reflection of lack of interest in many "sports"/the Olympic concept?
Obsequious Inverdale ejaculating at every RU & rowing nuance, Blue Peter-inspired Skelton/"the black guy in the square" giving us "awesome" 11-year-old insights, Chapman desperate to appear interesting, the guy on the beach under the illusion that he's a comedy genius, Balding trying to appear worth £500,000/year of licence-payers' money, Irvine convinced that she's a knowledgeable sports presenter & not a morning-TV style airhead.
The GB participants in the rowing & equestrian events filled me with pride, evidencing GB's approach of including athletes from all geographical, cultural, educational & ethnic backgrounds in all sports.
Wherever would golf, tennis, RU, football, basketball be without the Olympics? It must be their lifeblood.
