3 Golds now for GB today! Good stuff.

I’m never completely keen on events that require judges to decide on an “artistic merit/quality of execution” score (skateboarding, eh?), but pleased that Tom Daley has finally got to the top of the podium.

Favourite moments so far the Aussie swim coach giving it the sex thrust celebration (a new meme, for sure) and the Dutch cyclist who celebrated winning the women’s road race yesterday, not aware that she was second behind an Austrian breakaway rider the peloton didn’t realise was way ahead :lol:

They missed out because they didn't get enough points, not because they made a statement.

Go back to watching Babestation

Or maybe leotards have an aerodynamic advantage over unitards, which is why gymnasts wear them

That you assume I watch Babestation because I disagree with a ridiculous political statement says more about you than me

Wonder why the male version doesn't include outfits that show off their arses.

Gonna trust that the German gymnastics team has a better informed view on this than yourself and that you're looking for proof that pc has gone so mad that women are making their own judgements on a sport they've spent their entire lives dedicated to.

I find this completely unacceptable.

Also did you see the skimpy swimming trunks Tom Daley and Matty Lee wore and how much more covered female divers' bodies are? I won't stand for this disgusting sexualisation of male athletes :x :x :x

Imagine getting upset that the gymnast ladies chose not to wear those ridiculously skimpy leotards. Weird.
