    Hardly any time check differences in the cycling road race, and no points scoring shown on the screen in the boxing.

    My biggest gripe is the empty seats. Millions couldn't get tickets after round after round of ballots. I'd be annoyed if I'd been one of those that tried and tried . Hope it doesn't spoilt what has been a generally impressive start to the games

    David Bond BBC sports editors questions to Cavendish. What a useless journo.

    the rules now don't allow points being shown a the boxing so that coaches cannot tell their boxers what to do when they are in front. The points are only give out at the end of each round.

    My main gripe is with the bbc, on free view I can only watch 3 screens, but 2 of them have the same on part of the time. Like now, I was watching Volleyball, an now it's gone off for archery, which is already on the red button. Now the volleyballs come back on, and I've missed half the match

    its the same for most popular events now, corperates swallowing the best tickets and giving them to their prefered guests to whom many of them will not have any interest in the sport/club/group or event they have got passes for. some are jusr there for the freebies its killing interest in the trade.

    Agree on the cycling although there was no race radio to keep riders and commentators informed.

    Maybe Le Tour should go back to not having radio it may stop some stages becoming sterile.

    Shouting bloody DJs during every break of play in Women's beach volley-ball spoiling what is a purely visual sport. Grrrr.
