Rio 2016 Olympics

Liked that awkward moment when the Portuguese conquistador met the native Brazilianer. Is he going to rape or murder him? They slightly fudged that bit...

This feels like something directed by Terence Malick

they're showing sea level rise, yet i'm not seeing a down side - more canoeing and sailing?

This has been going on forever, how are we still on fucking Bhutan?

Cayman Islands isn't even a thing ffs. Is tax dodging an Olympic sport?

Cook Islands also not a real place

next you'll be saying that the refugee team is not allowed!

At this stage I'm all about Afghan refugees but against the Zimbabweans.

What's Portuguese for Great Britain? If it's UK I'm off to bed...

Does anyone know of the best place to catch highlights of the Olympics?

Bbc I player probably. For a limited time as the ioc lawyers are hot on copyright.

Crashes, so many crashes...

Men's Foil

Richard Kruse through to the next round, James Davis out.

Kruse made it look easy, JD lost his shit and it cost him the game.

That was a horrible crash...

Very, pretty shocked having seen it, I'm off my dinner now. Hope she's just winded

Horrific 😞

Kruse made some perfect counter attacks in preparation.

I felt for James, I used to struggle when points didn't go my way.

Chris Boardman sounded really angry that the course designers/authorities approved of such a dangerous section of the route.

I'm glad Armistead at least did the ride after all the drug test hoo-ha. Can't decide if I feel really sorry for her or think she's been quite daft.

News coming through from Dutch reporters apparently, saying that she is ok.

I'm enjoying this bit of the bbc online footage. Psychedelic music, no commentary, various camera shots of post race stuff.

^^Just heard the same, hope it's true. Chuffed about Johansson, me being Swedish an all!

There were so many things to crash into on that descent and with the canopy I guess the road would be super slippery. Horrible bit of riding.
