Our presenters have just said that the swimming finals are being held in the mornings because the US broadcasters have demanded it and are getting it because of how much they paid for broadcast rights...regardless of the fact that apparently the athletes hate swimming in the mornings and would prefer afternoon or evenings :evil:

Not trolling, cos I hope we do really well again this year, but I really can't get into the swimming. Tis a tad boring for me. Just my opinion of course.

Wouldn't call that trolling...you're entitled to say you don't like something...you couldn't pay me enough to get me to watch the soccer or beach volleyball to name but two :D
