Random Commonwealth Games thoughts


3x3 Basketball is the best thing ever and should be on television more often.

When did Netball go from being a boring, standing-still sport played by tall girls in playgrounds to a fast-paced, skilful battle played by sculpted athletes? 

 

I'll miss many things about the Games once they end, but watching bowls every morning while eating my breakfast will be what I miss most of all. 

 

Reasons To Dislike BBC Coverage #1 - During an evening of enthralling athletics entertainment, they spent 20 minutes talking about Jessica Ennis winning Olympic Gold in 2012.

 

Reasons To Dislike BBC Coverage #2 - While an England hockey match was on, instead of showing the entire second half live, they showed a 10-minute interview with one of the players, and then the last quarter of the match live. 

 

Reasons To Dislike BBC Coverage #3 - Several times this week they have been showing exactly the same content on two channels at once.

 

I still think swimming gets far too much coverage, while sports like judo and table tennis are reduced to highlights packages or being available online.


I love Ayo Akinwolere's presenting style and infectious enthusiasm. He is more natural and genuine than any of the other presenters and I would like to see him used more often, please.
