2016 Summer Olympics Rio

[Main Street]

Haven't seen the actual rowing final.  RTE one doesn't seem to be working. Anyone any links to watch it

try this link, it worked for me.

I wish I could have watched it live, though  it must have been gut grinding not knowing how it would finish. A 4th place finish would have been absolutely depressing.  Man it was a tight as they closed in to the finish line and to add to the drama the false camera angle had the irish lads ahead  just before the line.

Seamus Power up to 4th spot now in the Golf.

Don't think so

How the f**k do you train a horse to jump about on its tippy toes?

A length of alkathene pipe and a few skelps would do it.
I hate these "sports"

Wiggins is a legend! Some race there.

Ground hurling boys on soon.

Why do they play the anthems before the hockey.
It's the Olympics. Anthems should only be played for gold medal winners surely.

Everyone that is at the Olympics, according to to all the punters on here that is, bar one, believe they are on the drugs!!

Good race from Ciara Mageean.

This 20k walk race is a joke. The winner here clearly has both feet off the ground at the same time.

They all seemed to be running at one point or another during it.
Why also did they not have a out and back course 10k each way. Made it boring watching them on that looped road course.

Crazy stuff. One foot shold be in contact with ground  at all times and the leading leg should straighten when it strikes as well. the winner wasn t doing either imo.

Agree about the loops. Hope they don t do that with the Marathon!

That's done for the walk so the judges can keep an eye on people more easily. Bit of a joke though when they clearly weren't doing their job.

Surely there is technology that you could put in/on shoes to monitor feet being on the ground?
