    Triathlon winner barfing all over the finishing area. Brutal race where the water was 30 degrees and the sun has been beating down on them

    + attempted speedboat manslaughter

    A podium with two 13 year olds and a 16 year old, ridiculous

    That commentary on GBs last synchro dive! Talk about having confidence in calling it as you see it.

    I don't think I've ever seen a commentator go so "all in" so early on something so subjective and important. Fair play. That's an Olympic moment for the ages.

    Great diving competition. I know Matty Lee's dad; he's going to be so proud. And finally a gold medal for Daley!

    Olympics = feeling immensely proud of and happy for someone you had no idea existed until moments earlier.

    So chuffed for Daley, always seems like a nice chap.

    Bugger all to Pidcock - massive legs, fuck all else!

    Now on to the taekwondo...

    First if the Olympics I have watched this morning. Happened to see that it was the diving final on the BBC sport website, clicked and was just in time to witness Daley and Lee's first round dive. Watched it all, damn close completion between them and the Chinese duo. Great stuff.

    As an armchair experience, I'm starting to miss the media mix zone more then the fans. Real shame we don't have the hyperactive, hyperventilating, emotional immediate reactions this time.

    Can't beat the Olympics for getting arm chair fans all worked up about sports they pay no attention to for 4 years. It's great.

    I feel more olympicsy today. We need a new national anthem though.

    Well the IOC wouldn’t want anyone to actually see and celebrate the games, would they?

    Ah that's a shame, I guess it just blew up enough to get the IOCs attention.

    Was basically an alternative commentry on Max Whitlock's high bars effort. Pretty short-sighted to force him to take it down, given it wasn't offensive and it's exactly this sort of thing that draws more people to the coverage. Max Whitlock even replied to the tweet to say the whole gymnastics team enjoyed it.
