Default Olympics!

Is there not a thread yet? I know techincally this is sport but so far it's all dancing and fireworks

Anyone else watching the opening ceremony? I have to say it's truly stunning! I hope they pull this off, I know it's very turbulent times over there and they've had some monumental hurdles to overcome but I really hope they can do it.

I can't help but think how can we ever hope to do something like this? 2012 suddenly seems very close

Don't get me started there. The results won't be pretty.

Got it on in the background. Missed the first few hours but all but the first three minutes have been recorded to watch properly later.

Not watching it. Was hoping to catch some coverage of the fencing but as usual the is bugger all! Plenty of water polo but no fencing

MB will probably want to watch the archery

I'm hoping for some decent Judo coverage this year. Last time even with freeview and its interactive channels I could barely get any decent coverage, just highlights of the matches for the most part. That's rather boring because all you saw was the one good throw, rather than the build up and skill involved in getting to it.

Judo coverage - starts tomorrow 11am - freeview channel 301. "Live coverage of the men's under-60kg and women's under-48kg judo finals, with Craig Fallon a possible medal hope for Great Britain."

No sign of fencing at least for the next 7 days.
