Tokyo Olympics 2020

Just watched the BMX highlights, to have the courage and come out and do that second run is incredible. All or nothing for that almost once in a lifetime opportunity is what makes the Olympics so great. Amazing bronze too. That should secure some more funding for next Olympics too!

@Hotwired how have you never heard of peaty before, he was huge news at last Olympics and has been talked about leading up to these. He's got the 15 fastest ever times iirc over 100m Breaststoke.

That is a great haulin the pool though, there was an interview after the 4x100mixed medley and I can't remember who said it, but they said nothing much has changed apart from the team now have belief they can win against the best in the world! Great to see after many years of having a good swimming squad but never quite up there. I'm not a swimming expert but Peaty just looks perfect in the water!

Golf looks like it's going to go on a while with however many tied for 3rd!

Because my awareness of sport is extremely limited and I forget what happened last olympics :p
 
Haha fair enough, he's often quoted as saying his aim is to put in a swim that'll never be beaten! That almost heaven sent moment of clarity that pushes you to the greatest swim ever!

A very confident young man.

Just watch Charlotte Worthington a few mins ago, that 2nd run was inspirational, amazing flips, ain't no cherry pickers anymore :D

More funding is needed for the Women's BMX Olympic team. The government should hang their heads in shame after deciding to only support the men's BMX team. :o
 
Rowing needs to do one, if any sport has the money and financial backing independently from Rich daddy sport its rowing. At the level we are talking its elitist in the UK same a top level tennis run by toffs for toffs.

Well done the BMX team, Looking forward to the Velodrome now, best bit of the Olympics for me :)
 
The BMX'ers have been incredible, they come away with more medals than the entire rowing team including 2 golds and one of them was crowdfunded! I hope they get the publicity, funding and sponsorships they deserve.
