Still puzzles me why darts isn't an Olympic sport. The skill involved is certainly on a par with archery or the shooting events.

Phil Taylor would be walking around Stoke with his medal round his neck every single day.

I'd imagine the reason darts isn't in there is perhaps there isn't a wide enough range of nations playing it at the top level to peak the international interest? 

 

I think the skateboarding and BMXing have been a real success. I also have really enjoyed the mixed relays in various events, it really brings intrigue and strategy into it, though GB doing well probably is a big part of that. 

 

They should possibly bin football or at least change it to 5 a side or something. In its place should be best breakfast.

That is one of the greatest ever runs in any Olympics by Karsten Warholm to smash his own 400 m hurdles world record ..

Holy fuck, the 400m hurdles.

 

Imagine breaking the world record by more than half a second and only winning silver.

I knew all Code's aliases would be rushing to this thread after that race.

Krystina Timanovskaya, 24, has been granted a humanitarian visa by Poland and is now at its embassy in Tokyo.

 

She is expected to leave Japan on Wednesday, her supporters have said.
