Watching the opening ceremony now. Kinda wish that really was the Queen herself parachuting down into the stadium.

Paul Macartney can command a crowd like no other.
Have to admit - I like the idea behind the olympic cauldron, but it looks really underwhelming |

Are you getting the whole 4 hour ceremony in the US or have they edited a lot? Bet they took out the NHS stuff

I think its been edited a bit although only saw parts of it so its possible the NHS skit could have been shown.
The channel guide says the whole ceremony is 4 1/2 hours so it probably is the whole thing. |

I wasn't really interested in the Olympics (except for the Men's USA Basketball Team), but after watching the opening ceremony, I now have "Olympic fever", as it's being called.

Cav is going to lose the Men's Road Race. That's all I have to contribute right now.

I fancy Joe Diaz Jr to upset Alvarez in the bantamweights (he looked real class today), Ogogo will prol go out to the Ukranian guy but Tom Stalker is our best chance of gold in teh boxing IMO
Good win for Anthony Joshua too though |

Phelps looked like today wasn't his day for a medal and now looks a bit dumb for dropping the 200M in favor of the 400M race. On paper he's stronger in the 400M than the 200M although he barely trained for the event and his toughest competition was in the 400M in terms of American team mates.

Was going to watch some of the basketball then but apparently I can't actually watch anything with a Freeview box, and the BBC stream is terrible, lags, freezes and then jumps back 15 minutes when I refresh it. Good work BBC.
