The BBC seem to love Hazel Irvine.
The women's gymnastics will have GB in the next subdivision, which should start around 6.30. I see it is scheduled to move to RB605.

Not a happy bunny According to Telegraph online BBC4 should have had tennis from 1pm to 4pm today - not likely - no tennis at all. It also says that Murray's match won't be shown just results online. What a way to treat the reigning Olympic champion and Brit. Not to mention all us tennis fans.

Have just seen a bit of the cycling and the road is all cobbles in the current section. Is it usual to have an unmade road as part of the course? Seems a bit ropey to me.
According to the build up interviews, I thought we were supposed to be in with a chance for both these road races but we came nowhere yesterday and the commentators have just said we are in a very difficult position in the women's. What is going on?
(oh one of ours has just dragged the peloton back apparently so perhaps all is not lost.)

Hooray! Tennis is now on Virgin RB 567/577. Hopefully it's on other RB channels too.

Well now I'm not a happy bunny. Can't find the trap shooting on any channel and don't have sky.

He got a good reception from the rather sparse crowd.
Bet there will be more locals watching the men's doubles between GB and Brazil later!

I've found the women's trap final through internet streaming, other half has plugged in an HDMI and we will watch it through the telly that way. No qualifiers were shown but at least this is something. The BBC think all shotgun shooting is naughty. gaah

Have enjoyed the fencing so far - one of our chaps doing well - hope they show his final matches/games/fights (?) live

Nice to have just one commentator (Simon Reed) at the tennis. Cuts out all the inane chatter when there's more than one. The two blokes commentating on the swimming get on my nerves..
Murray serving for the first set.
