Who's the greatest British person ? I'm not sure but Andy Murray should be seriously involved in any discussion.

No idea. I gave Olympic boxing a swerve a couple if tournaments back when the corruption just became laughable. The IOC agreed with me and it’s out from the next one on as there doesn’t seem to be a non corrupt body willing to take it on.
I've just looked it up, she lost to eventual gold medalist Kelly Harrington in the Q/Finals.

A woman with enhanced levels of testosterone did.
You can debate the rights and wrongs of the testosterone levels without needing to rely on, apparently, a comment from the “too corrupt for both the IOC and boxing” thrown out boxing association.
Now do Zambian footballers.
Wasn't she beaten by an Irish woman at the last Olympics, in the second round I think.

I went to an extremely scally comprehensive and David Wilkie turned up (circa 1988), I can’t remember why, something to do with a sponsored run I think.
haha read my post further from yesterday.

Yeh I was a bit worried...
Nobody seemed that concerned, and to be fair to come back after a puncture like that he totally deserved it!
It was a phenomenal ride from Tom, coming back like that after a puncture, it did just seem like a coming together but its the Olympics and if the host nation put in an appeal, you just never know.

I was just coming on here to report on this latest good good win myself!
I was gonna post too but I held off in case of a DQ after that coming together.

In 1984 David Wilkie came to our school to da a sponsored run(so many laps round the pling fields) everybody had a good time, we all had our photo taken with him and his car didn't even get vandalised.

Apart from Seoul 1988, I've watched every opening ceremony since 1984, this is by far the worst and a million miles off what London did in 2012.
The last hour was pretty good though.

The general consensus on social media does seem to be that this is absolutely rubbish. Also a lot of people saying what this needs is Daft Punk!

There's someone on Notre Dame with a naked flame.

Can Can, I was expecting Buster Bloodvessel to turn up.

Daft Punk could have got back together and created a playlist for the whole event.
Or we could find out if Johnny Halliday was interested.
Maurice Chevalier ?

Some of those waves on the Seine look a bit big, I hope there's no athletes crying of with sea sickness in the morning.

Lady Gaga on now, why do France have to import foreign artists, I want to see Vanessa Paradis belting out Joe Le Taxi.

I'm not impressed by the athletes sailing down the rover on boats, I always liked it when they walked into the stadium.

Football has been in since 1896.
There was an event at the 1896 Olympics called " Men's sailors 100 metre freestyle " there were 11 entrants, all Greek but when you read the small print it says " only sailors in the Greek navy were allowed to enter "

Incredible! The main media headlines still say it was 2-2!
I think it's obvious that the commentators were not in the ground because they did not know what was going on.
Yeah, I can't remember exactly what the comms said but they seemed to think that the match was over.

Yes, after crowd disturbances crowd asked to leave stadium. VAR then disallowed goal, and players came back out an hour later for last 3 minutes in empty stadium.
I just checked after I replied to your post, absolutely incredible.

Never sure really why football is in the Olympics, sportsmanship is never an important aspect of the game. Argentina v Morocco starts tournament off to a new low.
-
Morocco beat Argentina 2-1 after dramatic men's football match which takes four hours to reach conclusion
-
Fans appear to throw missiles at players after Argentina's leveller in 16th minute of injury time makes it 2-2
-
Players then taken from field before equaliser ruled out by VAR almost two hours later as play resumes for final three minutes in empty stadium
Are you saying that Morocco won, I saw the players head off after Argentina's late equaliser but I thought the ref had blown for full time so I turned TV off.

If anybody's interested, there are 4 football matches on Eurosport today from 1.30pm, they are Argentina v Morocco, Egypt v Dominican Republic, Iraq v Ukraine and France v USA.

And we're off...
Charlotte Dujardin, Britain's joint-most decorated female Olympian, has pulled out of Paris 2024 after a video emerged showing her "making an error of judgement".
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/equestrian/articles/c97d4vnxv45o
It makes you wonder why(and by whom) the video was released now, when it was filmed 4 years ago.

Interesting; the man the papers are talking about is Eddie Howe, yet no one here thinks he'll get it or wants him. Also no one apart from me wants Pochettino or thinks he'll get it, however he has links with one of the FA bods from his Tottenham days and stated previously he'd like the job.
I think an Argentinian managing England would be absolutely vilified back home in Argentina.

Actually, if it wasn't for James Ward coming from 2 sets down to beat big serving John Isner, then GB would have lost in the Q/F to the USA. Then again, you can also add to Murrays achievements, World tour finals champion, world number 1, year end number 1 and 14 times Masters champion.
