Gonna post any highlights from the Olympics here, ones mainly covering the British athletes. We've already lost Britain in the tennis doubles which was a shock. What sport are you guys most interested in watching in these Olympics?? -

Rio dive pool turns GREEN in middle of competition - but baffled Olympic chiefs admit they have no idea why (so hands up who peed in the deep end!)
During the women's synchronized 10m diving final, the water in pool began to turn a shade of green
Water appeared to be getting murkier and murkier as the event went on, but it was blue on Monday
Experts and Olympic committee have suggested the colour transformation was because of algae
Claimed the neighbouring pool remained blue because the diving pool is warmer - preferred by algae
Bronze medallist Tom Daley tweeted: 'Ermm... what happened?!' with a snapshot of the striking change
British divers Tonia Couch and Lois Toulson finished fifth, but said the green hue couldn't be blamed -

As much as i would love to say i am following Rio 2016 religiously, following our athletes, cheering them along..sadly i cant. Thats not to say however that i have not been watching some. This naturally has only consisted of the womens diving, womens gymnastics and womens beach vollyball. The reason foor which, besides being bloody obvious are many other the athletes + gorgeous asses on display = winner. Sod the rest of the sports..im watching for the gorgeous arsed babes. -

Been watching the cycling mainly especially the road stuff, christ that female Dutch cyclist took probably the worst fall I have ever seen even worse than some in the Tour De France over the years I have watched it. And she got away with a few bumps and bruises and maybe a bit of a back injury. Have watched a bit of the athletics but find it a bit boring to be honest and as for Murray nothing can make me support him even being British, after all he is a jock living in England and for me the sooner they take him back after independence the better! :D -

Sorry Burns the boy done good,dont know how they felt but i was fucked just watching them both ,they was just like two boxers trading punches until one falls .
Another great day for us good ol Justin Rose kept clubbing away never gave up under pressure
the cyclists are just on another planet,just as you thought we will settle for the medals we got a few more come along :D
WELL DONE to the whole team GB,just an amazing haul of medals and a good try in every sport whether it be sailing,on horseback,in the gym,on the golf course,on a bike,on a tennis court,in the boxing ring,shooting a pistol,on a pitch,running,throwing,walking,swimming,A QUITE REMARKABLE OLYMPICS for us all :D
Away from us a remarkable night on the track,it was business as usual for Lightning,he started slow but it was never in doubt who the winner was going to be,what a legend he is
But the star of the night was without a doubt a little South African who people will wake up this morning and cant even remember his name and what event he was in an never even heard of him before,but what a star he is and we will be hearing a whole lot more of him in the future.what was his name,oh yea :P

It has been a fantastic Olympics so far, all the things that could have gone wrong, like a security issue stopping events or gaitlin winning a gold medal, haven't happened so fingers crossed they continue that way. It's been particularly great for Team GB with another great medal haul so far and we are still on track with the medals earned in 2012 which would be some acheivement if we were to even get close to based on historic trends of hosts performances at the next games -

I know thank fuck for Gatlin not winning gold that was a little too close for comfort for me but the living legend Usain does what he does and wins again, what an athlete. I was laughing when Gatlin got booed as he was introduced to the crowd lol. the 400m however had to be race of the night though a new WR from lane 8, he would have ran 42 seconds given a better lane -

Another Fantastic night for us ,in the velodrome,in the gym on the high bar,in the pool on the diving board, in the sailing and a special mention to Amy Tinkler,winning bronze in the floor in the gym and being the youngest member of Team GB,A great performance by her.
Away from us the host women got knocked out the football by Sweden on penalties,i felt so sorry for Anderessa who missed the last penalty for Brazil,so sad :( ,she will never forget that.
The men play tonight hope they progress cos like i said the Atmosphere will be electric
Have you ever heard anything so stupid in your lifes,a South African Woman steps out for the 800 metres today,BUT is she really a woman
Caster Semenya's history-making could spell the end is she a woman or man,She is neither. Semenya, born and raised as a girl, is believed to be intersex - identifying as a woman, but with physical characteristics typically associated with both men and women.
but no one knows for certain.how pathetic she is allowed to run having excess testerone levels more than a normal woman to give her an unfair advantage.
