WTF??? Seems a bit aggressive for a Mod.

Whilst you were watching the Korean archers (whatever floats your boat), some of us were watching an unbelievable ride in the mountain bike.

Would've been even more ironic given it was an English horse that the Aussie had only just started riding. The arguments would've been flying all over the place.

Saved by a German!!

Just enjoy it without trying to score internet points all the time. You and Burgey have made this thread a really rough read today.

Gee the Poms have been poor so far. Fans would be very very very very disappointed in their reversion to sporting mean after a decade or so of improvement on the back of funding surrounding the London games. The rest of us knew it would never last, but it must be devastating for our English brethren to be going backwards at such an enormous velocity.

2 golds 1 silver and a bronze and Burgey hasn't even filled his colostomy bag since his rant.

Do keep criticising us, you know we will be above you in the medals table at the end.

If Turkey don't make it through to the gold medal here because an arrow that would have been a 10 hit dead on the shaft of a previous arrow and deflected into a 9...

EDIT: And so it transpires

If that was the case, why did you not intervene here, rather than when the GB fans are celebrating an ATG cycling ride? Seemed an odd post to react to.....

What actually happened there? What was the decider as didn't they tie the play-off 27-27? Count back on boundaries!? I was only half watching and expecting them to carry on but TV cut to adverts

Peaty tests positive... for COVID-19.

Decider was who had the closest arrow after the shootout was done. But on the previous thing I'm pretty sure what happened is that the arrow was dead on a previous arrow which was on the 9/10 line (so a 10) but deflected off it to end up as a 9, though it had to get the ol' magnifying glass treatment to confirm.

I actually think that last arrow in that set was after time ran out anyway tbf.

Is the deflection just bad luck or should the arrow have been scored the same as the one already in the bed? I thought the same about the time.
