It looks like Golf is Cotter's main sport. Best Rugby commentator of his/my generation by a country mile.

Cotter almost made this bearable
Olympics, Rugby, Tennis, Hockey. Is he the world's most versatile commentator?
I was just thinking he'd be an excellent addition to F1
Add sheepdog trials...

Yeah easily, humour gets me every time

@Machpants Me and you both mate!
All they need is someone to stand there and say the games have begun!. I turned on tv this morning and saw it was on and just watched a bit of golf.
I actually say the same with Rugby WC etc, just say the games have started! -

Really felt for them with the weather
Unique concept and location
Showed Paris off really well
They'd obviously practiced and spent a lot of money on it
Great light show on the Eiffel Tower, but went on far too long
Very odd choice of torch bearers and the boat trip back to the Louvre was far too long
Way too much dancing and LGBAlphabet mincing around
Missed an absolute trick not having Grace Jones sing La Vie En Rose
Did I mention way too much dancing. Really hope the 'athlete' dancers are better than this bunch otherwise we're in for a dud
Cotter worth every penny of the BBC Licence Fee
He could make the phone book interesting, informative, and funny
Puts into perspective how overrated Lineker is
Will be doing this for the Closing Ceremony
Watching the highlights
Think we all can all empathise with Celine
I had 'Stiff Person's Syndrome' after that 4 1/2 hrs

I hope future Olympic Opening Ceremonies focus much more on, you know, sport.
It's about the host country. So there's no surprise Paris' would be a bit out there for people whose cultural highlight is a NFL halftime show.

I figured Gaga was hired on her performance in a star is born. Her song was shit last night.

@MiketheSnow They should have had Grace Jones parachuting off the Eiffel Tower.

T-Mac cleans up in his heat easily beating the former Olympic champ in the Men’s single skulls. Emma Twigg up at 8.30pm.

Is Twigg expected to be a medal chance?

Not favourite for the gold at 37 but hopefully she medals.
Lovely swim by Erica Fairweather, she is up against 7 time Olympic Gold medalist Katie Ledecky in the final tonight. She qualified third behind American Ledecky, and Aussie Titmis. Hopefully she can pick up a medal. First women's swimming medal since 1952 if she does apparently.

What time is the final?

6.25am our time I think. Not sure when she is specifically on though.
