Anyone watching the hockey? The Australian men's team who are ranked number one have just thrown away a 0-2 lead and are trailing 3-2 to Japan just before half time.

I watched it I really enjoyed the match. Good win in the end watching the gymnastics now as the other half half took the remote

Such a shame seeing all these temporary stands that'll be taken down with nobody ever sitting in them.

The tennis snippets I got were just sad. So dead there. Fencing had the screaming anyway.

The cycling road race at least has the public there.

All these fans crowded together long streets. Thank God they're not sitting in the arena in a chess board system with distance.

It just baffles me how they couldn't even come up with a safe concept to allow just a few in to watch the beach volleyball or judo. Meanwhile plenty of officials and even relatives appeared to be at the shooting.

German TV seems to work with  Australia VPN  so maybe less hassle with 7plus here and there.

Disappointing in Men's 100m Breaststroke but some very good results elsewhere. Unfortunately this means they'll flop in the final

7Plus works fine with VPN for the normal 7 channels. If I click on a specific sport channel ending in, say, TOK11 I get the error message. Annoying but the vast majority of things will either be on 7 live or ZDF. UK viewers were shocked to learn of the Discovery rights purchase pushing it all to Disney and Eurosport. German broadcaster sub licences everything Eurosport shows here.

Terrific world record and gold by the Aussies in the women's 4x100. It was cute when the Canadian team gave their silver medals to each other, they might have just started a tradition.

Good to see the Japanese girl get the gold in the individual medley, they needed a win.

Girls delivered massively. Congrats to the Tunisian who swum brilliantly. McLoughlin did well. Smith with a bronze which is great for medley. Germans were massively disappointed in their swimmer. 

Bit disappointed about Barty. Those silly gold projections nail on every decent chance and dream upset.

They missed so many 3 pointers in the final minute, Frustrating long for the game to end.

It's a shame they Sydney games didn't get more out of having top quality handball played. We played a little in high school but it never took off like junior basketball in the 90s.

Very impressive last gasp effort to get the bronze in the men's 4x100 freestyle, we weren't expected to do that we'll.

Titmus obviously the star of the show today.

Two young Aussies coming 9th in semi finals, missing finals by single hundredths of a second each, but both taking it admirably.

I would have paid to see this on Optus or Kayo instead of channel 7

The on demand service is shit. Only about 20% full replays of some events. Its not like rights are an issue as they are listed to be available for 5 months. Throwing a full replay up doesnt take much effort

There is also no "coming soon" section like other live sports apps. Instead when an event starts it just magically appears in the live section and then disappears when it is finished. This may not be a problem but they arent showing all events

Its not often there is an Olympics in prime time and not often half the country are on stay at home orders. This is such a wasted opportunity for channel 7 to sell itself. SO much money and planning and this is the best they were able to do

yes frigging annoying when your having to change from channel to channel staying on the coverage your watching.

Other than that, hey I'm thankful there is sport to watch whilst were in lockdown.
Complain complain is todays norm and I'm guilty as well But I have to spin the positives.

Seeing the varying sports is good, not all some suck or take too long like the cycling (yes I admire their fitness etc) but its a wlecome relief.
I'm not a full on WFH, during the week I can still go to my office to break the monotomy of being in the one place thankfully and the wife LOL.......

Lots of people have been hooked on archery and other events they otherwise wouldnt watch. This is where 7 need to stop trying to guess what is popular and simply present all content in a non bias way. We dont want to just see Aussies and gold

Its not hard to publish a full replay and their Olympics team should be at it around the clock

Agreed plus more.
The gym floor comps are pretty mad for you normally don't go out of your way to watch.
I cringe when watching them on the pummel horse or floor - the thought of breaking something with the landing makes me grab my ankle or picture broken legs.
The heights they generate is impressive.
The beam, omg another disaster waiting to happen.

The rapids are pretty cool, I'm a surfer of the past so watching that now competing is pretty cool.
Rowing.
The fitness of the water polo.
I'd like to see more table tennis.
