Very different viewing experience here in the States. It’s got me a bit homesick, to be honest.

 

Showing the medal count over gold wins to make the USA look the best is absolutely wild lol 

Bet it's wall-to-wall Simone Biles and LeBron James and very little else.

What do you expect from a country that names "World" championships of sports practically only they play? lol

WOW! What a finish!

 

 

Pidcock, Yee and now the women's quad all with last-gasp overtakes. Really bringing the entertainment value with our golds so far!

 

Edit: And a couple of 0.02s silvers in the swimming too. Lots of drama so far.

I missed the rowers but saw the replay and even knowing GB won it looked impossible right until the end. Wonderful stuff. Not seeing it live probably saved me shouting at the tv

GB & NI ahead of USA in the medals table right now, via the proper method not the US method that is basically the Olympics version of using goal difference to determine the table.

One thing that my wife and I keep laughing about is just how much info the comms have on people.

 

”here comes 16 year old Xiao Ping of China who’s father was brutally killed in a motor accident when she was 5!”

These trap shooters are pretty good but I doubt they'd be a match for me with the light-gun on Safari Hunt for the Sega Master System.

i bet i could do you on duck hunt on the sega mega drive

Can anyone make sense of some of the judging decisions involving GB boxers today?

Not watching but judging and boxing usually go hand in hand with corruption.

Brazilian athletes not doing much to fix the wrap they get about being overly emotional. Marta has just been sent off for kicking someone in the head and then SHE cries about it lol

It was brutal - nearly took her head off. And one of the commentators was asking if it was a red!!!

FYI, that's just how NBC shows the medal standings over here. It's not some dastardly plan to put America in first place lol
