Never a fan of events prior to the Opening Ceremony but at least the Rugby 7s beginning beforehand means the BBC can show the group games on their stream.

Used to be an unwritten rules that any event prior to the Opening Ceremony would not see athletes eliminated but with the quarter finals taking place on the Thursday it does mean all but 4 men's Rugby 7s teams will be out of medal contention before the games begin.

Through GB Men haven’t qualified yet and will face a tough battle for the last spot. If there is no GB I’m not sure the BBV with bother with it on the red button.
