I want to be on that Spanish boat. They all look so young and having the time of their lives…

It’s a bit liking watching the England football team. Mostly boring with the occasional flash of brilliance. Can’t turn it off just in case I miss the brilliant bits.

The “parade” of athletes is low on spectacle, high on rain, and as far as the pre-filmed interludes are concerned, it’s all a bit meh.

Watching on BBC freesat.

Can hear the commentary ok but any music in the background hardly audible.
Disappointing.

A few minutes ago was a French heavy metal band and they were really quiet.

Ditto for the habenerra from carmen.

A pity about the sound balance.

The incredibly annoying and partisan Canadian commentating has defeated me. I’ve turned the sound off, and am listening to a podcast instead.

We’re lucky we have a local commentators there.

Here in the U.K. the BBC commentary team haven’t stopped talking since the start. Remarkable. I have to say I stopped listening to whatever they are saying yonks ago.

China was impressive though.
