Yeah you assume sponsors would prefer beeb coverage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is that not where German football mis-stepped putting it on free to air thinking clubs would make more from stadium advertising that would be seen by a bigger audience?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure cause they arent really any equivalent of club entities in this scenario. I assume the commercial sponsors did benefit more in that scenario but that money didnt get to the clubs in the way TV money did in the PL

Not sure you can compare German football to a quadrennial event like the Olympics.

No fackin politics here ffs

Back on topic. Been a lot of whining about the outfits the women have to wear ffs. It's not fair blah blah blah. Like they think anyone would watch them otherwise.

Did anyone see the gymnastics?

Was reading about Simone Biles. She is expected to become the oldest woman to win the all round event in more than 50 years or something.

She’s 24.

It was the concept of how you'd make the most money not the actual event(s)

The BBC?

Gary Lineker talking politics £1.5m a year

Zoe Ball's terrible morning radio shows £1.3m a year

Alan Shearer the most clueless football pundit on tv £400k a year

Jason Muhammed- Who you ask? Yeah that random bloke who hosts final score that nobody has watched in about 15 years. £350k a year.

All adds up i'm afraid.

PP, apparently at one of the world championships she had an injury, and a kidney stone, and set the biggest winning points margin in the history of the competition.

Athletics will be shiiiit without the crowd.

Dina Asher-Smith and her fine asssss will liven it up though

Thankfully she's fast enough to run away from fatty pranks

Ledecky is just about as dominant as Biles too

Pretty annoyed that Sha'Carri Richardson got suspended, I was looking forward to seeing her, I know she was stupid to smoke weed, rules are rules, but when other people have a biological advantage, I'm thinking what's fair in that?

Its fun that we rank the table by golds

Cause rn we are below Uzbekistan and Kosovo

In practice I think, but I suppose it depends on the complexity of the move she can still get a top mark. Also I believe she doesn't go full on all the time due to it being risky on her legs.

Actually it looks like it's doesn't have a high difficultly rating, but well done to her in pushing what's achievable
In a few years, this will be normal for women to do.

https://inews.co.uk/sport/olympics/yurchenko-double-pike-simone-biles-vault-explained-dangerous-only-female-gymnast-1116309

That seems very likely regardless of whether she delves into the realms of her most audacious stunts. Making her team all the more hesitant is the relatively low score despite the vault’s complexity. It has been graded at just 6.6 difficulty.

So why bother at all? That question was recently put to Biles and her response said much about what we can expect from her this summer: “Because I can.”

She had an off day today. she’ll be back in the finals.
