This is a good article on medals by population. Kirani James is doing the 400m again so Grenada might end up being up there.

Lutalo Muhammad is such a smooth talker. I’m in love.

…I also think he’s very impressive, was saying this to my daughter earlier. I wonder if BBC will look at him as a more general sports presenter.

Well this made me emotional.

Handball is an awful sport.

3 on 3 basketball is an Olympic sport i see. Maybe putt putt golf or throwing paper into a bin could become Olympic sports in the future.

Crazy Golf was trialled in Moscow 1980; eventually considered too westernised and decadent by the bureaucratic soviets.

The BBC coverage is so bad/limited, I swear barely any of it is even live

Bocce ball would be a better watch than some of these events.

Only saw yesterday that they've lost rights to most things. Got a Discovery + subscription to avoid the repetition and spoilers that riddle the BBC coverage

Discovery had a 30 day free trial last week and now Olympics have started its down to 3.
Missed a trick there.

Pretty much all of it is based in Salford. Actually, all of it so far. Might get Live, as in Japan, when the track and field starts.

It’s not that they’ve lost the rights as such, just that their scope has been massively restricted. They have been limited by Discovery to only showing 2 live events at once. One on TV and one on the red button. They can show everything in the highlights though
