...chuffed for Andy Murray having the honour of carrying the UK flag, he'll be remembered as one of the greatest sportsmen the country has ever produced.

I think these Games will be dominated by complaints about the infrastructure, possible accidents etc. I wonder if ISIS will attempt to attack visitors or competitors, Brazil is not noted for having a highly efficient security system. I remember well the Munich attack and would hate to see anyone injured by some moron.

Surprised it weren't beckham the dunce.
Symbolises everything wrong about the Olympics (And the pathetic 'team geebee' - should be 'UK Olympic contingent' - not some poncey 'cool brittania' handle ffs) for me.
A professional bore, shoed in, but able to fund his own place through his own wealth (Tennis is cack and I don't recall hearing the ancient greeks playing anything resembling it anyway) and grasping all the attention from some kid/man/woman who's trained just as hard for the actual love of the game and has had to overcome far bigger obstacles to obtain the favour of some doddering arl gets in their blazers & ties who don't know their arses from MY elbow, nevermind their own.
I hope he gets tonked first match; poncey po-faced two-hat with that his stupid mid-atlantic twang.
Ponces like that can shove it AFAIC.
Which country?
....UK.

this south african football kit is so mid 90's.
been impressed with their link up play in attack tbf, but now a guy gets sent off. I sure as hell hope he's one of the overage players because he looks about 40.

The police in Rio de Janeiro say a Russian diplomat trying to repel an attempted robbery near the Olympic Park was involved in a shooting that left the assailant dead. The Russian embassy denied any of their employees were involved in the incident.
The police say the diplomat wrestled with a gunman who was trying to rob him, causing the weapon to go off and killing the criminal. In a statement to The Associated Press, the Russians refuted the police report.
The Russians also said none of their representatives are armed.
Authorities did not identify any of the people involved in the incident but said one man was a Russian vice consul.
The Daily Mail earlier reported that Marcos Cesar Feres Braga, a Brazilian lawyer who holds the vice-consul post at the Russian consulate, grabbed his motorbike-riding assailant and pulled him into his car before the assailant's gun went off in a struggle over the weapon, killing him.
The mugger struck at around midday Thursday as Braga was waiting for traffic to start moving again after the Olympic torch had passed by on Avenida das Americas in the Barra da Tijuca district of Rio, close to the Olympic Park and athletes' village, the Daily Mail reported.
Rio's Homicide Police Station said investigators were still at the crime scene more than five hours following the shooting.
The shooting comes amid heightened security during the Olympics, with 80,000 members of the Brazilian military bolstering police resources
