Everything they have is free to air (some of it is on the iplayer) Discovery+ is £4 for a month, so you could sign up for that for a month and get everything. It's also free if you have a sky subscrption so for £4 you get the whole Olympics package, red button style watch anything you want? that's not bad, I know its not free but its not like they're taking the piss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ads either. The commentators and the general presentation isn't as good as the BBC but I guess when they're stretched over so many events it's difficult. But yeah for £4 it's not bad at all. I get it free with Sky but I'd have happily paid that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 30-minute final of the men's surfing was littered with them. Or is that just when you're watching retrospectively? But in totallity, you're right. It's great value even if my missus is bored with it all. She even said she couldn't wait for the football season to start as at least that's only a couple of games a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Carnage in the first heat of the men's 5000m. Four fell in the final straight as it was bunched up and a huge field of 21 athletes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch the feed of the actual EuroSport channel then you get the ads that are on there as it's just a direct feed of their channel But if you scroll down on the Discovery+ app there's a section that says something like "Live uninterrupted" and you can get everything there without ads, including the stuff they're showing with ads on the actual channel I've not watched anything retrospectively on there so not sure if that applies to that Edited August 7 by Stevo985 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 (edited) Tatty Mcloued, the bi - lingual comedian, had me in stitches with her impersonation of a Parisian's reaction to the Olympics. Such perfect French too. Edited August 7 by sheepyvillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But our competitor is 51 years of age I wouldn't be shocked to see him do alright. Probably not a medal but a decent showing. He's an actual pro, for a very long time, he'll been there and done that for all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an actual pro, for a very long time, he'll been there and done that for all of it. Didn't qualify for the final but no shame on him. The qualifying level was very high, and seemed to reward the things he wasn't going to do, really big air tricks, when his thing seems to be more consistent small tricks. Looking him up he's actually really decorated in his career, most X Games medals etc etc, but this probably wasn't an event he was going to succeed in, especially now he's old. He mentioned in an interview the big trick he did was one he invented so didn't want to do it and **** up...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted August 7 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7 When Radcliffe appeared on BBC's coverage yesterday in a wide angle shot it looked like she was wearing a very strange sheer but crinkled blouse or something over the top she had on. It was only when they did a close up that it wasn't a blouse, it was her arm. She had very prominent very clear veins in her arm that at a distance made our look like she had a thin crinkly shirt sleeve on. Really weird. Looked ill as well in her face.
