    amateur boxing is so boring isn't it, hopefully next olympics when they get rid of the headguards it will be more exciting with a few ko's

    His defence in round one. The word class gets bandied about too much.

    BBC weren't showing the 100m heats live which was a joke.

    They were on BBC 3. Remember to check that channel if not on BBC 1.

    Billy Twomey and Cian O'Connor both qualified for the show jumping final, let's hope Cian's horse stays of the hard stuff this time.

    ****ing hell I've had enough with rte. Ten minutes of ads and now it's more talking heads. Is there actually nothing on!? Such ****ing bull****. I'm turning it off until I can be somewhere else.

    It really is woeful, the talking heads wouldn't be as bad if they actually had some expert insight instead of stating the bleeding obvious. The only good analyst I have seen on rte is Andrew Bree.

    She's a bully and a pretty unlikeable person IMO.

    I also think she's rather limited as a tennis player. Fantastic serve - yes, but I don't think I've seen a slower player around the court in recent years.

    Sharapova would be such a better player if she didn't expend so much energy by grunting.

    Another record set by the British in the velodrome earlier, with Jason Kenny breaking Chris Hoy's olympic record set in the individual sprint in Beijing by 0.12 seconds. A fair amount in this event!
