Paris Olympics 2024

Weird seeing Laura Kenny in the studio after all her success, after she scrapped her attempt to get in the womens track cycling squad a few months ago.

Predicting 8 GB golds on the track!

I was expecting a low key games but that is bold.

I've heard good things about Emma Finucane being on the up in sprinting so that is something I was looking forward to after we've had a few dry years in that.

The GB team are favourites in nearly all the women’s races

 

[robfosters]

Broke a WR already lol

 

[UTmaniac]

Good start for the GB women team sprint, world record!

 

[marc2003]

Mens team pursuit looking good in qualifying.

 

[marc2003]

We held that WR for less than 2 hours. Better grab it back in a bit.

edit: and it goes again. GB had it, then Germany and now NZ.
edit2: got it back but we simply had to just to get in the gold medal race.
edit3: Germans had the record for about 3 minutes and now they're racing for bronze.

Unlike the ‘slow pool’, this is a ‘fast velodrome’.

 

[marc2003]

After the swimming, I was hoping they might send Balding home but nope.

Almost forgot, we won the women's team sprint.

GOLD womens team sprint lets go

WORLD RECORD Ez

 

[SDK^]

A nice start for team GB track cycling !

 

[Fire Wizard]

The Woman’s Team Sprint was awesome. Gold for Great Britain and a World Record.

 

[Junglist]

The Dutch men, on the other hand

I remember when I went to the London Velodrome in 2012 being surprised how hot it was in there, proper stuffy! Guess that’s how they like it.

Spain came from behind to beat Morocco 2-1 in Men's football semi-final.

 

[marc2003]

Duplantis might land on the moon.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Duplantis might land on the moon.

Was only 28cm over the bar there

 

[ic1male]

I wonder what happens if Armando Deplantis jumps higher than the bar can go in the pole vault!

It’s a weird way of doing it but suppose that’s how seeding works, the Germans must be gutted.

It’s similar to the 100m heats in that way but there you’ve just gotta qualify.

Great run from DAS, Thomas is a machine though.

 

[Psycho Ned]

These days it always seems like there is something not quite right with Dina, she used to be quite a bubbly happy character but now seems troubled.

Just walked off there wanting nothing to do with the others.
