Thanks for that. Happy watching too

I hope im wrong, but I fear we'll see more of the 20K walk final that starts the same time as the shooting, than the shooting itself. The BBC have told us when the shootings on but not if they will show it to us. Fingers crossed though

It’s on the. bBc sport trap for anyone that has that..

 

[jelliffe99]

Does anyone have a link for the men's skeet final?

 

[CharlesP]

'Fraid not, I have just been searching for it. I did manage to catch the last few minutes live this morning, which rather astonished me as I fear the Beeb isn't exactly shooting-friendly. In case you haven't heard the result I won't post it here!

I managed to find video of the women's skeet yesterday, and my wife and I watched it with great enjoyment. Well done Amber Hill, a Silver is no mean feat. And congratulations to Emily Hibbs, who looked completely relaxed for her first appearance at the Commonwealth Games. Having managed to qualify (no mean feat) she ended up fifth, which is (as the commentator remarked) an extraordinary performance.

I know they were all wearing hearing protection, but I must say the ghastly and very loud music during the event would have driven me bonkers!

 

[jelliffe99]

@CharlesP I watched the ladies yesterday aswell - thought it was brilliant, nail biting stuff! I too thought that loud pop music would have been a great distraction, a few times I caught Hibbs singing along so they must have been able to hear it! 

Such a shame that there's no sign of the mens on iplayer. Hopefully some of the double trap will be shown.

 

[danq]

don't think the mens wil be on till tomorrow really enjoyed the girls it struck me how young most of them looked (compared to me ) and their reactions so fast  and fluid  its definitely a young persons game at the top cant work out why we have to have music in the background offputting

didn't think much of the cameras work though

 

[ChrisPackham]

Irritating as the women’s was on sports app pretty much straight away! It seems the focus has switched to lawn bowls...

 

[Jan Powell]

Such a shame that there's no sign of the mens on iplayer. Hopefully some of the double trap will be shown.

Eh? They’ve just shown it on TV. A full 45 minutes coverage.

 

[ChrisPackham]

Still not on iPlayer...

Maybe someone at the Beeb saw the word "Shooting" and had a bowl movement  !

 

[ChrisPackham]

What kind of bowl? Some of them can be pretty heavy, must be difficult to move..

 

[balltrap]

I watched the superbowl the beeb never covered that as well  :angel:
