Stuck in the airport, waiting for my flight home. Watching women's judo on BBC on the lounge TV, USA Vs Brazil. Is this one live?

:P
 
In Archery there's a little clip on the bow that always clips down on the arrow about 0.5s before every shot. Does anyone know what it does and how it's triggered?
 
no-one watching the Judo? Really good so far, GB in semi v france coming up, USA v Brazil now

Its called "the clicker" and it lets you know you have pulled the arrow back to the correct length. It slides along the side of the arrow until it falls off the front, letting you know you should release now.
 
... What the fuck did she do there. How the fuck do you rush into the opponent falling to the side like that, Mayra?

Meh.
 
What's going on with the shooting, when I turned on bbc1 they were saying we were in with a gold medal shot but it doesn't appear to be on anymore. Is it over? Or not started yet?
 
The DSLR machine-gun shooting must be pretty annoying for the archers, it seems really loud.

cool, thx
 
Even the boxers aren't really amateur anymore.

Actually they are. A coach can't even be in the corner if they've done a pro match in the last 6 months.

It's strange what sports have to be amateur and which can be pro or semi-pro.

Boxing seems to be one of the last true amateur sports left in the Olympics.
