So, 24 HD channels and I cant see ANY of this event from what is my local Olympic event. Good job, BBC.

Isn't it scheduled for 13:25 BST? I just checked the BBC Olympics channel 10 and it's there.

Sounds like Channel4 are going to have some decent Paralympics coverage.

There was a huge "Thanks for the warmup" poster on the way out of London.

Speaking of the paralympics, I'd recommend going to anyone who gets the chance. Some of the events are cool and it's still a great vibe. Wheelchair rugby is a must.

Russia got Bronze in the basketball match.

Russia bronze in Bball!

I doubt a lot of them are actually serious, just crass humour. I hope.

The three leaders in the marathon: Kiprotich, Kiprotich, and Kirui.

KKK? conspiracy incoming

I don't think you can call that thinking.

Any dim wit can mash out such shit on social media. Unfortunately it encourages other like minded knobs to do the same.

 

[Brazil]

Not fourth place. Not fourth place.

Come on, Marilson. You can do this. This is your day.

Some weird shit went on in those times

they need to bring back tug of war.

Terrible pun :lol

 

[dejay]

Ugan do it!

sorry

I thought of doing that, but thought better of it

It was going to be:
Kenya do it? No, Ugando it.

Do you think the Queen is peeking out the curtains with her slippers and dressing gown on?

Fourth place for Marilson.

So close to the podium...

Edit: Uh, maybe not even that.

Oh boy...

The winner looks like he could do another lap. Good race.

Fourth place for Marilson.

You jinxed him.

 

[MThanded]

Meb Keflezighi takes 4th. Great run from the 37 year old representing the US.

Amazing run. Came back from 16th early on. Great pacing.

 

[Oxx]

Do you think the Queen is peeking out the curtains with her slippers and dressing gown on?

She's busy working on her dance moves for her performance with the Spice Girls in the closing ceremony.

 

[Nolan.]

Ha slightly awkward interview ''What are you saying i'm not getting it''?

 

[Brazil]

You jinxed him.

He'll probably feel better in a couple of years about placing 5th than he would if he had placed 4th, haha.

3 Brazilians among the first 13. I'm proud.

 

[luso]

And with Uganda victory in marathon a total of 85 different countries got at least a medal, one short of Beijing record, as well 54 got at least a gold medal, exactly the same as Beijing in 2008 (also a record).

 

[Brazil]

Come on, boys! Finish the Volleyball domination!

 

[dejay]

Hot! Hope she shows some skin.

[Nomad Blue]

I wonder if the closing ceremony will feature a mini-performance for the Rio games. I remember Beijing had something for London (giant Leona Lewis singing and Beckham kicking balls out of a double decker bus) and I think the Winter Olympics do the same thing.

Yes they will, they always have a slot at the closing ceremony for the next hosts, and it was mentioned in an article that I read (here) where some of the supposed artists for the ceremony were mentioned, including

Spoiler

George Michael, Spice Girls, Annie Lennox, Tinie Tempah, Jessie J, Madness, Adele, Pet Shop Boys, David Bowie, Elton John, Take That, Rolling Stones and Kate Bush

. Some of it sounds as bizarre

Spoiler

(A giant inflatable octopus and nuns on rollerskates!)

and British as the opening ceremony, so expect lots of 'WTF?' on here.

Hopefully India will get a Gold in Wrestling today, and then that number will rise again.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Marathon was great. Top 3 really laid it out there. Nice work by the American runner not to give up unlike his walking wounded teammates.

 

[Hindle]

I cant believe the Spice Girls are doing the opening ceremony, it's about as uncool as you can go.

 

[Kikujiro]

Seeing the marathon not ending inside the Olympic Stadium is pretty sad, it's one of the staple of the Olympics.

First set Brazil! VAMOS!

They're not doing the opening ceremony.
