Paris Olympics 2024

There's been some red hot athletics the last few months, I can't wait for this.

But I'm absolutely gutted that Katie Archibald is out injured.

Two-time British Olympic champion Katie Archibald will miss next month's Games after breaking her leg in a freak accident in her garden.

Her smashing the madison with Laura Kenny was one of the best moments of Tokyo. :cool:

BBC have the same gimped coverage as Tokyo so you'll need discovery or eurosport (I think).

That ain't live singing.

So Charlotte Dujardin is part of this. Smart move covering her face.

marc2003 · 26 Jul 2024 at 22:28

So better or worse than London? :eek:

Don’t feel like we’ve won a medal on day 1 for a long while!

JJ Chalmers the BBC maths expert really helped me out on that one. 20 years since Sydney apparently. :rolleyes:

Yes, silver for Anna Henderson in the time trial. Aussie winner was different gravy.

Fair play to the smelly cheese eaters... they are packing out the venues which is great to see. :cool:

Silver looks in the bag, They ain't catching the Chinese.

Pidcock was leading but needed a wheel change losing 36 seconds. Now 9th... :eek:

Pidcock is a beast

I thought he had no chance but you're not wrong. Nearly 2nd already.

marc2003 · 29 Jul 2024 at 14:24

If I was French, I'd think Pidcock was cheating.

Not sure any other GB win this games is going to top that.

marc2003 · 30 Jul 2024 at 21:26

That was impressive.

marc2003 · 31 Jul 2024 at 07:39

Yep, it's carnage at the moment. :eek:

marc2003 · 31 Jul 2024 at 08:40

Sqeaky bum time in the triathlon. 4 runners up front, 2 french, 1GB and 1 swiss. One is going home empty handed.

marc2003 · 31 Jul 2024 at 08:51

This coverage is ****ing awful. Someone makes a break and the camera is focusing on 4/5th place who are miles back. :/

marc2003 · 31 Jul 2024 at 08:57

Beaugrand winning was not unexpected so well done to her but I honestly had no idea who the swiss girl was. Bronze for Beth Potter.

Vote name change to Alex Noo.

20 minute edit: I might look a little silly now but it's all good.

marc2003 · 31 Jul 2024 at 11:29

That was epic.
