It's on BBC1 as well if you want it in HD Cheers, I did look at the TV guide last night, just said coverage of the Tokyo Olympics but didn’t specify what. Presumed it wasn’t going to be shown again. Should’ve had more faith lol. But will it continue to be shown on BBC1 if it goes to extra time I wonder? I think they only missed the last group game because we had already qualified, I’m confident they will keep showing this. Not so sure about rugby 7’s, now scheduled for 11am One more point that puzzled me, they played anthems before the football. I don’t think any other Olympic event does this, surely anthems should just be for medal ceremonies

Surely the GB women's football team should be better than this, given the professional level of the WSL? I haven't seen much but they look a poor side from what bit I have seen.

Enjoying all the mixed relay events in the swimming, athletics and with triathlon still to come - such a simple idea but very entertaining.
The orthodox approach seemed to be women doing backstroke and freestyle, men the breaststroke and butterfly. I guess the latter two are where the time differences are greatest.
Very different in athletics, with all four running 400m, but here it seems teams choose to have men running first and anchor legs with women running the middle legs. It'd be interesting if they made a random draw for each team to really mix it up.

After GB went out of the football I turned over to Netherlands v USA, great game, full of VAR decisions. Currently 2-2 in half time of extra time.

USA won 4-2 on pens. Semi finals on Monday: Australia v Sweden USA v Canada The North American derby And the yellow shirt 'derby'. I know Australia's is gold but, if yellow can be amber, it can be gold as well ....

GB women didn't deserve to go through with that sort of Keystone Cops defending today. Shocking!
Years ago, I thought we were told GB women's team was meant to 'peak' for the 2020 games.....maybe its the delay of a year LOL

Thoroughly enjoying the majority of the different sports. Some more than others.
But some of the routines the men and women gymnasts carry out is purely sensational.

Max Whitlock was brilliant this morning as was the BMX freestyle. Nice to see Freya Anderson pick up a gold medal as part of the mixed medley relay squad. She went to the private school at Ellesmere and swam for them so a solid Shopshire connection.

Superb stuff in the high jump. The reaction of the Korean lad and his trainer is everything we love about the Olympics. The Aussie with the tache. The Qatar lad with his shades. Great to watch.

Superb competition Exciting day with lots going on at the same time. 100m final soon. For me, that BMX Freestyle Gold is the best I've seen so far. Attempted something never done before to try and beat a rival who was odds on for a gold medal but then crashed. Didn't bottle it and 'went for it' once again in the 2nd round and this time executed it superbly. A stunning turnaround. The Venezuelan girl has just broken the World Record in the Triple Jump!

And what a fitting end to the high jump. Brilliant to see. And what an outstanding athlete the Venezuelan girl is, streets ahead and you just felt it was coming if she could get a clean jump in (and looking to the room she had to spare on that last jump, there is more to come). This is what its all about, the emotions you feel and go through yourself when watching these events really is something else. And now you feel for Hughes.
