I've been going through the replay for the athletics and I can't find the bit where the guy broke his leg. Anyone know where in the stream it would be?

I would disagree..

Very early days though.

I see more people to empty seats compared to other events

Cannot disagree with that, but I would not call it "Packed".

Is it because of Zika or something else?

Not sure.

From what I have seen in this early stages, just seems like overall bad management/administration.

It looks bad having such large blocks of empty seats.

Surely when issuing tickets, you stagger seats so even if not "full", you do not have large blocks of empty seats, it just looks bad.

Unless tickets are tier priced depending on view and nobody wants the **** seats? Although, by this time, you should have created such a buzz in the city that everyone will buy anything that is left.

They're not even doing what TNA do is by having the stand where the camera will show the most filled first to make it look full lol

LOL

Exactly.

If need be, on the day, ad-hoc "upgrade" peoples tickets just so the seats opposite hard camera are "full".

They may learn over the next few days, I would hope?

I will guess and say no

Britain's hope for a bronze in the men's gymnastics just went down the toilet.

Why the **** are the reporters making excuses, they choose the safe mode all the way through that then pulled all the pressure on the last guy when they realised they were funked.

Can we just admit we are ****, we are currently outscored by third world countries ...
