A girl from my wife’s work was in the initial Softball squad. They went over about a month early for a camp, trial games etc and those that didn’t make the cut were sent home two days before the opening ceremony. She just missed the cut so had to fly home and is now doing her 14 day quarantine

If Channel 7 show them I'm looking forward to seeing the Skateboarding, Skeet Shooting, Archery and Handball which I think is one the most entertaining and most fun sports to play.

I don't find Cycling that entertaining.

Memo to commentators:

The word repechage is pronounced with a soft c. RepeSHage, not repeTCHage.

Carry on.

Quick tip if you’re not aware.
Use the 7plus app (device/smart tv) and there’s multiple channels and sports to view.

Our 3 riders in the road race have been dropped and will not figure in the finish.

Brutal ride.

The ref helped the Swedish girls there but a miss penalty and you don't deserve to win

Watching skateboarding.
HTF do they do it without a lid?
Jumping of stairs and shit.
And they're doing everything in world sport to protect the head?

Skateboarders are a different breed that’s for sure!

The drug test results for the skateboarders might be interesting.

Are you insinuating the Olympic skateboarders take drugs? What gives you that impression?
