Then he should have tested himself the night before
The men's skating commentary is worth the license fee alone.
That lipslide to the front foot catch fakey on the 50 was brilliant. But the backside noseslide to fakey.... fucking hell.

Silas Loom
Hated by both sides
The bit where the arrogant little sod falls off his skateboard is the bit we want to see in slow motion afterwards ffs. Not the tricks that went okay.

Would be better if the live feed would actually show more routines though. Just had the commentators describing Jake Jarman's high bar routine while the pictures showed a load of gymnasts from the other teams just sitting around

The way they handle the falls has also been impressive.

They don't have a choice in that, the olympic broadcasting company control what is shown, and they'll always focus on the teams at the top of the board. They'll get access to the footage though and show us anything particularly good that we missed at the end.

Doesn't come as much of a surprise - it's being blamed on the rain which also affected the opening ceremony

The mountain biking is a curious event. There's few chances to overtake on each lap, and some of it appears to be just a procession of riders in single file.
Whilst the top few can challenge for medals, it must be depressing to find yourself in 25th position halfway through the first lap, knowing you've got to keep going for another hour in a train of riders. It doesn't diminish the huge achievement of making it to the Olympics but still
