Any sport in particular I should catch up on from overnight? I need to put something on in the background while I power through some boring monday morning stuff
If you have Stan, just pop on one of the big ones. Like "Athletics day 8" or one of the main Olympics shows, and it'll just show you what is on the stadium. I watched the Athletics Day 8 one last night, to see all the 100m heats. It was really great, because it meant I actually knew a little bit about all the runners in the 100m final and had seen them all run before.
Note on that Jamaican kid who came second by 0.005 seconds: This event was his international debut, and he ran 9.77 in June. He's one to really watch. No idea why that US dude was so cocky when he learned he'd won after waiting 30 secs on that photo finish. It was hardly a resounding victory.
No but I have been watching the overviews on the 9 app Mainly landed on athletics today. The high jump final was pretty awesome..looking forward to the Sport climbing tonight
Just pop it on 9. The news is on currently but they have highlights on up until 6pm.
will do!
