Self-Isolating before it was fashionable
Watched the womens today, so I'm giving it a pass (or at least I'll eat and ablute when it's inevitably on for hours and hours). Easily the most boring cycling event at the games.

Despite planning ahead and getting Eurosport via Discovery +, I have so far managed to miss not only Murray and Evans' win but also Nadalcaraz yesterday.
(Seen quite a few of the singles matches, though).

If that's the case, wish I'd done judo back then.

Not much happens and then suddenly one of them is upside down when they didn't want to be.
When something happens, it's pretty quick and without the replays I'd be lost as to what they actually did

Hated by both sides
Even if the contestants had otherworldly abilities, the Olympics would render them tedious. Imagine being too demoralised to switch off the first round of telekinesis heats, with a succession of dour-faced teenagers levitating the same table in exactly the same way, while an overexcited expert commentator tries to second-guess the marks they will get for mana technique and imposition of will.

Yesssss Daley and Williams! Brilliant diving 
I did feel for the French pair though, waiting around at the top of the board to do their last dive like everyone had forgotten about them after China's last go
I would have been tempted to just bomb off the board for the lolz.

Unfortunately for them the Chinese were Universe class and completely unbeatable. Astonishing quality of diving this Olympics.

First, the organisers chose to apologise, second the celebration of diversity irked some rightwing Catholics who are apparently irked by any representation of diversity, but certainly don't speak for all of us.
And third, the claim that a biblical scene was being parodied is pretty tenuous. Leonardo choose to portray the Last Supper with everyone sitting at one side of the table because it made for a better composition, but the reality would have had them sitting on both sides.
The complaints are nonsense, and the apology is a craven capitulation to bigotry.

No he didn't have the test until this morning so he didn't know he had covid when he swamYes. He had symptoms, had taken the test. Then jumped in a pool with all his biggest competitors. Loses. Claims he's a 'winner'. And then embraces everyone.
Legend.
He had symptoms

He had a tickly throat.
