[Jack_]

I can't cope with this **** anymore ffs

[Wizard.]

This is so unfair smh

[Black Dagger]

This is tragic. Can't even hold onto the ****ing ball.

[Wizard.]

This referee is a Dutch-Fanny loving bitch

[Jack_]

I'm a bit bored of watching them in our half all the time

[Wizard.]

Good. Time to regroup and re evaluate our tactics

[Wizard.]

Slayyy about time we had a penalty those Dutch people have been playing dirty

[Jack_]

This is the most stressful thing I've watched all Olympics

[Wizard.]

This is the most stressful thing I've watched all Olympics

[Novo]

Don't be silly

[Black Dagger]

Tom Daley slayed the prelims. Hope he didn't peak at the wrong time.

[Novo]

Right, what time is MoMo on to win our 25th Gold in the Taekwondo?

[Denver]

are we in this thread hopeful of beating our record 29 Golds and 65 medals

[Novo]

65 overall yes
29 Golds no

[Denver]

65 overall yes
29 Golds no

we have a great possibility of 5 more golds

[Novo]

Best chance for 29 is the two boxing Golds, Bianca and MoMo winning the Taekwondo and Mo winning the 5000m, tough ask for all of them to win but doable

[Jack_]

damn who's this brunette with the ponytail

[Novo]

Quek?

[Denver]

Best chance for 29 is the two boxing Golds, Bianca and MoMo winning the Taekwondo and Mo winning the 5000m, tough ask for all of them to win but doable

dont rule out Daley although pressure does get to him

[Jack_]

Quek?

That's the one! **** me :drool:

[Black Dagger]

Ooop. Crying at the Nick Skelton montage.

[Novo]

dont rule out Daley although pressure does get to him

I didn't watch it earlier so dont know if the Chinese were holding back or not on their dives since it was only qualifying but they were massive faves so would be very surprised if he best them to Gold

[Denver]

I didn't watch it earlier so dont know if the Chinese were holding back or not on their dives since it was only qualifying but they were massive faves so would be very surprised if he best them to Gold

the chinese have already bottled it quite a few times this year so hopefully he stands a chance

[Jack_]

Oh great another DQ :rolleyes:

[Novo]

Come on MoMo

[Jack_]

yaaass gals

[Novo]

Oh great a bloody Chinese Ref

[Jack_]

Taekwondo result spoiler if you're watching on BBC1:

WHAT the **** have I just watched?!?! How on earth did he do that?!? Twat

[Black Dagger]

****ing robbed. That was surely outside of the time.

[Jack_]

And why on earth wasn't the point given when he knocked his ****ing helmet off wtf

[Novo]

**** sake how do you let someone kick you in the head in 1 second, dopey bastard

[Brother Leon]

Heartbreaking for the guy.

[Novo]

The Traitor has let China back into The 2nd place race

[Novo]

Going to have to rely on Charley having 5 birdies and 5 eagles tomorrow in the last round because of that 1 second flop

[Jack_]

Aww poor guy :sad:

[Jack_]

Literally the most shocking moment of the last two weeks

I sat like this 'D:' for about a minute

[Novo]

Fake tears from the Chinese turncoat, the man has no shame

[Black Dagger]

You don't deserve our GB medals you piece of ****. Nick didn't jump those fences for you too attack our athletes ty.

[Novo]

Your a Chinese turncoat as well

[Black Dagger]

Only if Li Na comes out of retirement.

[Denver]

He was so stupid who goes in for a attack when they are winning with 1 second to go he deserved to lose

[Nicky91]

[Jack_]

Hearing that Tom Daley's in 18th in the semis D: wtf happened, he looked in amazing form last night

[Black Dagger]

He has 30 points to make up with two dives left, he's not making the final, what a mess :joker:

[Jack_]

Talk about peaking too early

[Jack_]

18 points the difference with one round to go D:

[Ross.]

Snatch that face of Team GB spot Max

[Jack_]

Dear oh dear he's out

[Jack_]

Imagine training for four years, being on top form in the prelims and then not even making the final the next day D:

[Black Dagger]

That taekwondo girl earlier that lost was the worst example of the sport I've ever seen. Didn't once get her leg high enough to reach the opponent anywhere above her tits. Stupid cow.

[Firewire]

I haven't really watched much of the BBC Four footage so haven't really seen Dan shine

I had bad opinions of him before because of his extreme Christian views but I guess there's more to him than that

[Black Dagger]

And then had the nerve to say she doesn't even want the bronze medal kmt.

[Novo]

We need 3 medals, Mo, Relay, Joe Joyce, the 66 medals is in the bag

[Jack_]

If only the two taekwondo bouts had gone our way, we might've been on to beat the 29 golds after all :(

[Jack_]

A historic television moment

[Jack_]

I also had preconceptions about Dan cause of the whole creationism stuff but he's actually very funny and the running jokes on the beach have been a highlight of these two weeks :love:

[Black Dagger]

Oh is he a problematic fave :worry:

I was switching between that and the football but I believe so :joker: they were showing it on a delay and went back to it though

Apparently the editor put a #copacabinmen best bits reel together too but I missed it, he just said they might replay it again later lmao

[Ross.]

Great ending :cheer2:

[Jack_]

Another medal plz

[Jack_]

Delete taekwondo

[Black Dagger]

I agree. **** sport. It always looks like they connect and get nothing.

I hope Karate is far more interesting in 2020 (well bar Japan scooping all the medals)

[Jack_]

I prefer it to judo but judging by the last few nights the technology ****ing sucks. Some ridiculous results

[Novo]

Confirmed to finish above China now! Yessss

I'm delighted this Mo VT has reminded me that London Grammar's 'Hey Now' is a thing :flutter:

[Braden]

I've really enjoyed it all.

It's funny to think that people were panicking that we were going to do worse by our usual Team GB standards, but ended up doing better than 2012 :love:

[Brother Leon]

This Muhammad Ali viginette... :(

[Liam-]

I've been more interested in the Olympics this year, but watched way more of it when it was in London, the only things I stayed up for were the pole vault and tennis finals, I hate it being in a drastically different time zone.

Basketball closing out the games is so anticlimatic. Hopefully Tokyo change it.

[Ross.]

I can't wait for Helen, Becky and Mark to be the flag bearers at the closing ceremony

[Jack_]

[Jack_]

The audio is really bad

[Jack_]

Can someone check if the red button has commentary?

[AProducer'sWetDream]

Can someone check if the red button has commentary?

It doesn't! But the audio is still terrible.

[MB.]

Oh my god the audio is hilariously ****

Also "Keego" bless

[Jack_]

Well yas I'm here for whatever progressive house this is

[Jack_]

The ceremony is being shown in 360 on the BBC 360 app (as some of the sports have) which is a novelty for a few minutes

I zoomed in and could see some old woman sat in her seat :joker:

[Pete.]

Has J-Lo come on yet

[MB.]

Well I think her dad's just turned up

[Jack_]

lol how this is already better than both the opening and closing ceremony

OMG The Olympic Channel that got advertised earlier on is so cool :amazed:

They're going to show the canoe slalom championships on it :laugh:

Will be nice to see how Joe Clarke gets on.

[Jack_]

Those credits are even more amazing every time I see them <3

[Jack_]

I can't believe it's all over :bawling: I feel like it's gone so quickly yet at the same time I'm exhausted cause it seems to have been on for months

[Ross.]

I'm so sad this is all over </3

[Ross.]

Oh and the credits were ****ing amazing

[Black Dagger]

</3.

Least the Olympics live on with that Olympics channel. Here for pretending to still give a **** about Canoe Slalom outside of the 4 year cycle :clap1:

[Denver]

whats this Olympic channel?

[Jack_]

I have major withdrawals :sad:

[Black Dagger]

whats this Olympic channel?

https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/

It's just to show the lesser sports that probably wouldn't get the recognition outside of the Olympics.

[Jack_]

I don't know why I didn't find this sooner but I just stumbled upon this behind the scenes video
