So pleased for the GBR eventing team especially Lara Collett after what she’s been through

Speak for yourself. Another gold medal today. We’re doing really well. Anyway, it it is a crossover sport with Nick Skelton helping out at Dan’s. And let’s not forget Harvey!

I'm afraid I take very little interest in the Olympics nowadays since they allowed professionals to take part and then introduced fringe "sports" like volley ball and BMX bikes into it.

Volleyball has been in the Olympics since 1964.

I like the fringe sports. It's nice being introduced to new athletes who spend all their time being incredibly dedicated to their craft with absolutely no fan fair or public recognition apart from these two weeks every four years.

I mean, do we really want to live in a world where the Games don't exist and the major sports stories now are Harry Kane not reporting for training at Spuds or Lionel Messi leaving Apple to join Amazon (club football being so soulless that's pretty much what he's done)
