Argentina women beating GB in field hockey.
Is that cycling?
The British rowing co-commentator on Eurosport is ridiculously biased 
What a way to end the rowing, Gold!
Why is there a freeloader on every boat in the rowing?
Edit: Look at that cnut celebrating as if he contributed anything.

Well done! We were close there.
We’re good at rowing.
At least we had a cute little blonde girl .
James Cracknell, double Gold winner for GB but yeah he hasn't really got a filter.The British rowing co-commentator on Eurosport is ridiculously biased
It’s funny that the cox in the women’s eight is a bloke. No reason why they shouldn’t be, I guess. Nobody tell Joanne though..
Rowing female commentator on BBC was so good, the one on Eurosport has been so poor.
I find that Eurosport commentators are usually well informed and professional but the BBC’s are better at capturing the emotion of moments like that.
The volleyball women are so....
What is the point of a cox in rowing?Was thinking the same
The cox is the only person on a boat during a race who doesn't hold an oar. Although it may look as through they simply shout encouragement to the rest of the crew, a cox also has to steer the boat by guiding the ship's rudder, keep motivation as high as possible and also offer feedback after the race.
The BBC pundits and commentary are some best out there, just a shame with what's happened with the coverage rights over the years.
They're(the cox?) basically there to shout abuse at the rowers
Had the cycling on mute while the rowing finished, why did a load of them pull to the side and look to stop? Were they pacemakers or something?
Toilet break
Do they dictate the rate of stroke the boat rows at. Get them to up the rate when needed.They're(the cox?) basically there to shout abuse at the rowers
What do people who row professionally know about rowing over people on a football forum?
If you only know about rowing, you know nothing about rowing
Indeed.
GB athlete already disqualified from 100m men for false start.
British guy refusing to accept the red card
What is he arguing about? Clearly a false start.
Very harsh.
First heat as well, big shame for it to happen so early.
Train for a century and its all over in milliseconds
GB is going to appeal and if they win he gets to run. So he was arguing to just let him run now anyways
Basically, judges were being needlessly rigid
Thompson just run a 10.00 only pushing the first 50 meters. Impressive
It looks like he was trying to run under protest and they weren't allowing him. That's a bit weird, although it was obviously a false start.
Thompson though
I post under protest
Little Kenyan is Rapid
The 0.1 second reaction time seems a pretty arbitrary threshold for judging false starts. Would have thought you’d be automatically allowed to run under protest when you’re so close to that cut-off point. Azu was just 0.03 seconds under that cut-off point.
Hinchlife
Saw a tasty little bet on Ladbrokes. 9/4 for anyone other than Van Der Poel to win
Even with that mullet holding him back.
