Paris Olympics 2024

Real shame for the Canadian gymnast.


And yes, been loving the white water slalom, both genders, both types.

OR by Marchand in 200m Fly - beating the reigning champ - he's got a breaststroke final in the same evening session, which is crazy. His efficiency is something else, certainly a gift from above for the home nation at their Olympics.

Looks like china will only get 2 golds in swimming

1 will be zhang yufei, of TMZ at your local restaurant fame

Jesus, took 0.4 sec off his own world record, in a pool where no one has got close to a WR

100m hasn't been beaten like that since 1976!

(Bar wiffen, but the 100m is challenged far far more than 1500m)

"Watching" the Olympic mincing - I'm delighted to see that one of the athletes seems to be wearing a neckerchief.

I play walking rugby, and one of the teams we play has someone who does speed walking - when we say "sod it, I'm full-on sprinting" we still can't catch him.

So 2 unnamed? Chinese athletes are participating after their failed roids tests were done to contaminated imported Australian beef - this shit isn't acceptable from wada

Absolute crying shame.

Women's 4 just miss out by a whisker (0.2 s.), still a silver, but going in a favoutites will make it a tadge bitter-sweet.
Notice we've gone for NZ style strip at these games, not sure if there's any psychology in that.

[Galfon]

Shocking start by Men's 4, but Bronze it is..fair do's.

How does one find the motivation to watch the 'Lympics? I'm struggling to give one.

Sports addiction for me (that doesn't include golf, bmx, air rifle nonsense)

I think it does definitely help to be in a country that goes big for it. I would struggle to pay any attention if the Brits were competing for 7th-8th in every event.

Sport climbing.

Where are the hipster events like bread grooming, craft beer brewing, and vintage bicycle repair?

Where is the Wokeathon?

[Galfon]

..Where are the hipster events like bread grooming..

Usually means it's off when gone furry..

[morepork]

That got a rise.

[Galfon]

seems to be plenty of loafing around the pool tbf.

Lots of medals opps today, especially in the rowing. Whatever UK rowing has done needs to be replicated across all sports, to come from the low of Tokyo to what they've achieved so far is fantastic

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgggghhh FFS

You were a lot more polite than I was.

Not sure if they gave too much when pulling out their lead, or they were complacent once a boat length ahead, or simply not as good as the Croats, and tactics wouldn't have made the difference.

There was a missed 'pull' you could see on the replay, deep into the last 100m, I think it ruined their finish.
