I think he probably prepared for being booed, given the issues surrounding these Olympics and who would get to compete. | |||

For me I'm glad the fans are booing. The decision to allow anyone who has been found guilty of performance enhancing drugs stinks. And it also stinks that athletes miss tests for whatever reason like has happened with UK athletes. Until zero tolerance is adopted we will always be wondering "are they cheating". | |||

They all know the rules, same as in most industries. In finance we have to do various tests on money laundering amongst others. Don't do it and you are out. Rio Ferdinand claimed he forgot he needed to be tested and got a ban, in my _iew not enough, he should have been banned for life. If you participate and accept the massive financial rewards you accept the conditions set out and stick to them. Yes they are onerous but they need to. I genuinely believe that a more stringent approach would clean up sport really quickly. I watch and admire these athletes and hate questioning all the time "are they clean". Gatland and those like him deserve the boos. | |||

Strangely, it doesn't look right now that the pool is back to blue.
I haven't seen any synchronised swimming this Olympics.
We're not going to get a medal here. The other women are doing so well.

"What are we thinking of the BBC coverage? Liking Balding, Chapman, Skelton et al?" I have always liked Claire balding. Think she is a great presenter. She inter_iews people well and explains the more obscure sports in a way I understand. Chappers is OK but isn't move away from him being a football commentator. Helen Skelton I like too. She is always up for a challenge. | |||

Skelton was good at the swimming but not sure she had the gravitas of other presenters. Chappers has been good, despite the flirting with all the female athletes! | |||

Daley just got 103.6 for his last brilliant dive. Really tight competition with the Chinese Qiu Bo.

"oooh if you are all watching the hockey... i won't tell you what has just happenened in the taekwando... I don't get Taekwondo. Odd thing. I'm sadly going to admit I've only just found all the other Olympic channels... just as it's coming to an end.
Tom Daley is doing well in the diving but the competition is fierce.
Oh Likety - Taekwondo is such a wonderful and exciting spectacle. It's by far my favourite event at the Olympics. My 8 - year - old (a blue belt) loves it. It's the best sporting martial art in my opinion and once you understand the scoring system, it's fascinating tactically too. Some matches are all action, others like chess."Yep we've really got into, we've been looking into the rules and how it works etc | |||

It just looks like one person kicking someone who is holding their arm out to stop them.
I've only really been watching this much sport since 2012 and between Olympics it's much more limited.
Ah well if you put it like that diving is just jumping in a pool and hockey hitting a ball with a stick "  - Indeed. I was a synchronised swimmer so I like the watery things.
