I was only able to watch the last heat of the women gymnastics qualifying as I can’t find the other ones anywhere to re-watch? Was really looking forward to see Team US, UK and Sanne Wevers.
Also very disappointed in the German team. Their difficulty was so low in pretty much every event 😕

Anyone know what happened with Sanne Wevers? She didn’t make beam final so something must have gone terribly wrong?

They are showing Gymnastics highlights on BBC now. You may be able to watch it again on Eurosport but I’m not sure. I watched 3, 4 and 5 and a few did fall off the beam!

They just showed her beam routine. Said she was in 8th at that time.

Wish the BBC was doing better coverage. They seem to do snippets or cut from a game to show another. Why don’t they have it over a few different channels?

They only have rights to show 2 sports at once live, and I guess the shows at the moment are the highlights shows

frustrating, but I’ve paid the £6.99 for Eurosport which is so worth it IMO
 
I will say the BBC coverage today has been slightly better and more varied. They didn't just show the same 4 highlights and actually showed some non-GB matches

And damn, I'm gutted I went to sleep for the skateboard final, I just watched the prelims
Also, it's really making me want to get my skateboard out from the shed 😂

Has Eurosport got all the sports streaming live on it? Don't mind paying a little for live coverage, or at least access to live coverage, but I would like the whole rostrum and the whole 'episode' of the sport in question rather than as the other poster said, chopping and changing between the favourites. I think the other option is Discovery +?

Planning to stay up for the triathalon tonight, as I'm not working tomorrow... we'll see if I make it past 11pm.

I watched the prelims too but missed the final! I hope the Japanese lad with the beautiful shiney hair won. The rest seemed to just fall off their boards a lot.

From what I saw this morning it is, except some of it at least is without commentary…

They are all available live. I watched the all-round qualifier for Gymnastics earlier and they had an individual stream without commentary for the 4 rotations then another with commentary of it overall. I think there’s a catch-up/roundup too but not 100% sure.

That's more or less why the Japanese lad (might be the same guy!) won it seems. At the last run both of the Americans fell

I liked the French guy who seemed to be dressed as Blippi 😂

I thought the Brazilian skateboarder was good! Yep the rest were falling off all the time but I’m not saying I could do any better 😂

There is- there’s the whole thing, and also each apparatus as a separate show

It was very entertaining I must say. But I was a bit baffled that they'd had 5 years to practice to keep fluffing the landings.
I felt sorry for the Australian Shane something who looked permanently on the point of tears. Every time the commentator said 'yes Shane something is technically the best skateboarder in the world - look him up on YouTube' he would do a spectacular face plant.

I think the women's is tonight? Not sure.

Subbed now, watching the replays of the dressage :) Only thing that's a bit irritating is they're not really announcing who is riding but I get to watch it so no mind.
