I think we should watch to count the number of BBC staff who will be over in Rio, and estimated how much this has cost us who pay for the BBC

I'll probably see some, but I'm not that bothered.
I hate those "Inspirational" montages they show every now and then, of people winning, looking triumphant and exhausted, doing their patented (probably literally) poses, etc: all with rousing music and in clips deliberately too short to give any context and work out what's happening. Kind of fascistic really, but without the genius of Leni Riefenstahl.

Seems to be a thing with us British.Always asking the price never the profit. I've seen people writing that the BBC funds the Eurovision Song Contest. If only, they could scrap the licence fee.

I don't know if they do actually sell coverage of this, but they sell of lot of things to other countries.

It's frustratingly difficult to find out what sport's on and when though.... Even when you turn on, it's not what you thought...

Brilliant win for Adam Peaty combined with a world record with Jazz Carlin earning a Silver medal in her race.
Lizzie Armitstead missed out on a medal in her road race but personally I couldn't have celebrated if she had got a medal.

Odd isn't it that the usual suspects failed to proceed very far, Williams sisters, Djokovic, Murray brothers. Is it because there is no money to be won, can't think of any other reason he said tongue in cheek
