My God, the Olympics... 15:55 - Jul 31 with 2233 viewsLinners

...what a joy!

I know there's loads to be cynical about, but the carnival of sports just makes me so happy. Almost lost my mind this lunchtime about some bloke doing BMX tricks...

What would be your best and worst event at the Olympics?

I think my best would have to be a team sport where I can hide a bit, probably football and just hang out up front nowadays.

Worst would be swimming I think. I'd look like Eric the Eel in there compared to them, they would be on the podium before I had finished.

The men’s triathlon then the girls rowing earlier were just incredible. Both grabbing a dramatic victory from the jaws of defeat.

I think the average viewer trying swimming would make Eric the Eel look like Michael Phelps to be honest!

Nah I'd trim him up, he took nearly 2 minutes to do 100m freestyle.

....I was deadly with a spud gun in my youth. Or boxing, I'm well hard.

Worst: Middle distance running. I have neither endurance, nor pace. In fact any type of running.

Best. Prob be a ref at the beach volleyball. Knowing my luck though I would probably be given a men's game.

Worst. Synchro diving. I may as well just jump off a ten story building (splat)

Plus not sure the TV viewers would be impressed with me in my micro swin trucks.

Freestyle saucy punning - I'd definitely come somewhere on the podium for that event... then be immediately disqualified and escorted to the guillotine.

You are aware that at that time it was the furthest he had ever swum. His eventual time was 57 seconds when he'd actually had some practice which is far more impressive.

I had a go at Triathlon a few years back

I wasn't very good..... the others had nearly finished the swimming before I had finished the first length of the pool

I thought to myself "I'm going to give up, my arms hurt, my legs hurt and my bicycle is getting soaked....."

Cycling in wet shorts and then running without big fluffy socks in my trainers. Not for me

Incredible, isn't it - how they do those tricks on a bike just defines belief.

Thank god for the Olympics, maybe if we humans could just concentrate on sports, rather than trying to kill each other, what a world we would have

I just rewatched it and I'd forgotten just how bad he was at the end... his start was actually OK (by layman's standards). After the turn though... yeh OK I could probably take him too!!

I was quite impressed by the French swimmer winning two golds in less than two hours , with a phone call from Macron and a medal ceremony in between.
