Watched the hilights of the triathlon. Absolutely hacked to bits, some more extended hilights would have been better but that final run in was amazing.
Did you see Ngamba, the boxer representing the 'Refugee team' - Wonderful story about her - Moved to the UK when 11 - Took up boxing after been teased about her accent - Can't box for team GB as no passport, and can't return to Cameroon to represent them, as she is gay, and it is illegal there - She looked so excited after a points win - Wonderful story and shows what the Olympics is about

I get that the 6pm news on BBC1 is sacrosanct but the number of changes for a single event seemed crazy. I presume that the BBC had committed to showing it in full as there were two GB finalists and maybe that's a relatively late decision hence dotted around the channels. If they had decided it's not that popular just leave it in the red button/iPlayer all day I can't see an issue with that.

Angela Carini is forced to box against a biological male. She quits after just 45 seconds, and cries hysterically as her opponent is declared the winner.
If she travelled to Paris using sustainable means, would that make her Mrs Carbon-Offset?

In contrast to last year's RWC she said everyone was friendly, there wasn't the rank profiteering and it wasn't that busy. Lots of families so bars etc not as congested.
Most surprisingly of all, she said Paris was delightful - neither of us have enjoyed visiting for a long time now. The only down was the insufferable heat.
"She's not a devastating puncher, that is only her fifth stoppage."
Sounds like the Italian copped one on the hooter, was in a lot of pain and couldn't continue.
If Khelif was indeed a 'biological male' then I'd have a big problem with that from a sporting perspective - but she isn't.
