Highs:
Whitlock, now a three-time gymnastics apparatus champion. Didn't care to see him in the gymnastics team - you all know how I feel about gymnastics specialists taking team spots, especially now as teams have only four members.
Hashimoto seizing Uchimura's crown in the gymnastics all round. Credit due to Kaya as well - all sports need characters, and this noisy little twat with his impossibly well-conditioned hair certainly is one
Kenny and Archibald bossing it in the madison.
All of the triathlons. I haven't swam, cycled or ran in twenty years, but I fucking love this. Sorry Alistair Brownlee wasn't there, but fucking hell the rest of them.
Referencing above, the new mixed-sex relays, and not just because we won them. Add track events next time, please.
Daley finally winning gold at his fourth Olympics. I'm sure we all remember his debut in Beijing at 14 years old where, after losing, his much older syncho partner decided to use a TV interview to blame him for everything and was subsequently never heard of again. Cao and Yang owned the 10m singles final - fuck, Yang made the best ever dive in the history of the Olympics (
insert football joke) and still lost - but even in this Daley held his own.
BMX. Exciting, felt like it was over in the blink of an eye. Same with Skateboarding.
Lows:
A certain Ukrainian short-arse (who is still on my phone and desktop wallpaper) being completely absent from the gymnastics due to a failed drug test. Stupid prick
McClenaghan and Sun fucking up on the pommel horse. Genuinely thought McClenaghan would take the gold, and Whitlock would struggle to medal, but his rivals are both new and will have further opportunities.
That Danish cunt in the track cycling whose name I'm not gonna bother to learn who caused a crash and chose to throw a temper tantrum in front of hundreds of millions of people.
I won't name specific people, but the favourites, the poster boys/girls getting injured, dominating the coverage/headlines, even at the expense of British talent still competing in the same fucking events.
Horsey nonsense taking priority. Srsly. You can only show one live sport on an actual TV channel, so lets cut to the posh people! They should give extra points for people who jump fences whilst screaming "I pay less tax than a binman" or "Look out for me in the House of Lords!"
I'll be honest, the shitty arrangements the BBC had to abide by due to the Discovery cunts didn't bother me too much because of the time difference as I watched most of it on catchup. I would wake up, click on the first iPlayer show, watch it, skip-through it, then click on the next show. I'd do that until I caught up with live TV about dinnertime. This is gonna burn a shit ton more next time in Paris, when I'll take time off work to watch everything and presumably have to pay for a subscription.
