British badminton mixed-doubles pair, Nathan Robertson and Gail Ems, were down 17-12 in the third game of a key match. They are to retire after this games. An over-heated commentator describing their situation as ‘retire or get to the semi-final’ said: ‘It’s stark. It’s brutal. It’s reality.’
And a BBC commentator, wanting to talk up the Brits in one of the canoe slalom rounds, said ‘he’s lying tantalisingly in seventh place’.
There’ll be more.
