I think I must be ill. Thank goodness it'll all be over soon so I can get back to watching Countdown. 
I'm watching dressage! How is this possible?

I was watching it too! Even though I had no idea how how/why people score well, I was sort of enjoying it. Especially the music!
What is happening.. We're both went to see the Syncro Swimming, and are now watching dancing horses! lol

I guess we have to be realistic... would be have been watching the dressage without the considerable chance of a medal or two? I'm guessing not. Certainly not in my case anyway. 
And I went on to watch boxing & Taekwondo even though I've never been a big fan of watching women (or men for that matter) trying to beat each other up. It's certainly been another good day for us.
Having said that, I was a bit put off in the boxing & Taekwondo by the way you could hear the announcers in the background (not the commentary team) urging the crowd to get behind the British girls. It just seemed a bit alien to the whole 'fair play' thing we're supposed to be good at.
Besides, the crowd hardly needed encouraging!
