Is this the kayak cross thing?
That entrance!
That entrance!
It's amazing isn't it. You just get dropped in
Why is Morocco listed as 'MAR' in the game against the US?
We’re dominating the posh sports in these games, like rowing and the horsey stuff. We have the most athletic poshos in the world. The poors need to start pulling their weight
Just turned it on now. That is weird, fun but weird.It's amazing isn't it. You just get dropped in
Their specialty there is deckchair hogging. Come after breakfast to the pool and they’re all gone courtesy of some early Teutonic towel booking technique.

I'd probably fall out the kayak
Did I hear them right that there's going to be multiple competitors on the course at once when the time trial is over? It'll be carnage
They use French abbreviation rather than English perhaps
Yep, that has to be it. Thanks!
I want to know how they created thisJust turned it on now. That is weird, fun but weird.
Yep and from googling it just now, contact is allowed as long as it doesn't get excessive...I'd probably fall out the kayak

Don't think I've ever been more excited to see something
Right. Can someone explain sailing to me? Why are people going in different directions?

Sad that they have to do this to fund their dreams but who is paying money for photos of lads in Speedos when that's freely available on Google?

Also really excited to see it
those starting spots are really close together, I presume they have to roll in the group races too?Cheers Andy, glad that’s cleared it up
I think so. Does not seem safe if there's gonna be 4 people rolling at the same time but again, I can't waitAlso really excited to see it
Have you seen the state of facilities in public schoolyards?
Do they get a map of the course/chance to drift down the river to see it before they compete or do they just have to react to what they need to do as they go along?
I think they get to see the course, they've just mentioned the higher seeds get to choose their starting slot so would need to know which ones are most advantageous. Don't know if they get to try the course once the markers are out there.
This badminton standard is outrageous.
First woman on the kayak course and the ramp didn't tilt to drop her
While the country's English name is Morocco, it's known as Maroc in French.

We excel at the sitting down sports: sailing, rowing, cycling, horses.
Those two were well good at Badminton.
That's my analysis of that.
That's my analysis of that.
Are they going to drop more than one Kayak into the water tomorrow, thought this was an individual time trial event ?
Yep, in the next round they're going to drop 3 or 4 in at once. The time trial just sets the seeding for the tournament.
Surprised the stands are deserted for the kayaks
Teddy Riner three times gold medalist.
This German archer is going to shoot his partner.
If Bryony Page was asked to sum up her trampolining career do you think she’d say that it’s hard its ups and downs?
lame
Did you see the women's heavyweight final? That was apalling.
Judo is like that tough, I was a national level judoka in my youth, the higher up the levels you get, the more attritional the fights become. At the very top level its a pretty boring sport to watch.
Yeah, it's all about hand positioning and having the perfect leverage or milking penalties.
