Will you watch the Olympics?

Any free time I have I'll probably watch whatever's on providing we have someone competing. Always love watching the canoe slalom as well, remember we finished 1st and 2nd in it in London which was amazing.

Russia haven't been banned totally apart from their athletes so a kop out from the IOC?

Maybe, they have basically said it is up to the governing bodies of the individual sports, which i think is fair enough.
Some swimmers banned today, but the clean ones can race, I'd rather see that done with the athletes as well, there will be clean athletes and they should be allowed to take part.
I understand this was 'state' run and all that but the Kenyan doping is just as widespread and they are free to compete.

I think the whole procedure was just ridiculous. First accusing all of the athletes of misconduct and backing off when asked for actions, so the individual sport associations have to do the dirty job. Either do it right or just leave it in the first place.

I'll still watch some stuff though, but normally only the highlights.

IOC seem to have decided they do want to make the decision to ban athletes now.

Probably found some more failed drugs tests and need to ban a few more people before they win medals.

Let's hope they stop passing the buck and making a mockery of the olympics and actually ban them all.

Andy Murray is carrying the GB flag in the Opening ceremony.

Sure he will crack a smile/wave
