I took a slow mo of it on my phone and most of them have both feet off the ground between steps, which I thought was illegal.

It is...but only when viewed in real time by a judge. An absurd sport.

Top level shithousing from this horse. So you’ve whipped me and your trainer punched me and you want me to jump that fence? Let’s see how that works out for you, shall we?

Absolutely serves them right. Is that type of treatment the norm? Where's the outcry?

I’m glad I’m not the only one that saw the coach punch the horse on the upper back leg. Very poor. I think the German woman knew from the start it was gonna be bad, she was hysterical as soon as the camera was on her.

I can’t find anything for the wrestling on iPlayer, even in highlight form, so is safe to assume it’s all over on Discovery+?

I haven't seen any of it on the BBC, and think the finals were today? Might be worth keeping an eye on the Red Button streams that are added towards the end of each day for it.

What a run from Josh Kerr in the 1500m. If he'd kicked on a tiny bit earlier, that Bronze would be a Silver, and he may even have pushed that Norwegian lad for the win. It was a great race and he did so well to run down Kipsang.

Also TIL that Jessica Springsteen, daughter of Bruce, is in the USA Equestrian team.

I turned over to see the 50km walking which just looks really silly and was making my shins ache just watching it.

I took a slow mo of it on my phone and most of them have both feet off the ground between steps, which I thought was illegal.

What a pointless event.

This kicks off today apparently, but you'd be forgiven for not knowing that due to the advertising being absolutely shit.

It's in Paris. They've pooed in the Seine or something https://news.sky.com/story/why-people-are-threatening-to-poo-in-paris-river-seine-today-13157481 and closed off half the city with really intrusive measures, but Olympics!

There's also a British horse rider who's been banned for whipping the shit out of her horse, they're letting an actual child rapist play in the volleyball, but Olympics!

Can't wait for the breakdancing to begin (that autocorrected to breakfasting which would be phenomenonal) and even though there is a prescribed selection of tracks they can play, they're still gonna get funky with it.

Skateboarding is always great as well.

Let the games begin!

For anyone who wants to surf through all the weird and wonderful nonsense the Olympics has to offer you can get discovery streaming for 3.99 for a month to cover the duration, seeing as bbc will mainly be carrying the mainstream stuff.

I'm quite tempted -this is one of the very few sports things I get excited by.
