Ref just cost Ireland a try for no reason, nothing wrong with the quick taps and he kept calling them back.

Ireland absolutely robbed in this match, ref on the NZ take by the look of it.
So much sport before the opening ceremony, it’s starting to feel a bit odd.
It would suck to be in the men’s 7s. You start before the opening ceremony, miss the ceremony because you’re competing and then it’s all over the following day. Not exactly the Olympic experience you’d be hoping for.Agree.
I assume that's because there are more events than previous Olympics.

I wonder if they get to hang around for a couple of days afterwards?
Nope, they are basically kicking people out once they have finished. They have 48 hours to vacate due to a new AOC policy.Surely they are allowed to stay until the closing ceremony if they wanted.
Agree.

The big events like football have pretty much always started then. The new events are the best ones anyway
I have kids that played state volleyball and this comes up a bit. It is not really a funded sport at the highest level. No Pro league. Australian national teams have had to fund raise and pay for themselves over a long time. Quite a few kids now go to college in the US and Canada but because when they come back here they don't get paid to play they drop off. We regularly get beaten at youth level by the Asian countries also.The one I don’t understand why we’re not better at is volleyball. I’m a teacher and kids love it, every school I’ve been at it’s been popular and the standard I’ve seen is very high.
Any particular reason why we haven’t progressed much? Funding, coaching, lack of leagues? I think the talent is there.
Breakdancing? Let's grow up. Horrible addition to the games.
I really, really hate this policy for the athletes.Nope, they are basically kicking people out once they have finished. They have 48 hours to vacate due to a new AOC policy.

Yep ****ing awful decision, will really drop moral I feel. Taking all the human experiences out of the games for the athletes.I really, really hate this policy for the athletes.

Others have followed me in here. Can you move the posts to the Day 1 thread or lock it so we don't keep posting in here.
Maybe the same with the Day -2 thread so I don't stuff it up as well.
