Paris Olympics 2024

FYI Duplantis just cleared 6:10 in the pole vault (he's already won gold the others all finished under 6!).

He cleared it by 19cm! Don't know if he fancies a crack at the WR or not.

 

[UTmaniac]

Not been watching the pole vault, then

No, missed that one, this afternoon?

Now. He's won it and is taking it easy on the way to (presumably) smashing the world record.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

If only the bbc would show it

I always thought Kenyans and Ethiopians would be the real contenders as they're usually the winners at longer distance races but I guess they're more at home at 5000m, 10000m and marathons.

He could jump 7m and they still wouldn't show it live.

BBC might show it once they've drooled over Keely for another 20mins.

I dont know anything about athletics but would she branch out and do the 1500m considering she has silver at 18 and gold at 22

 

[manic111]

Going for 1.25 now!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Can’t we fawn over her after the pole vault? The BBC is useless

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Nuts

 

[CliffyG]

Aren't the bbc limited to what they can actually show? I didn't think it was up to them.

 

[Trusty]

room to spare as well

They can show two events simultaneously. I expect that they get to choose which two events those are, not I'm not positive on that.

He has failed the first attempt at 6:25, BBC will show it about 9:30

Looked miles over though, just didn't quite have the angle

Reckon I could make 1.25

 

[marc2003]

Medal ceremonies for overseas atheletes > actual sport. :/

 

[manic111]

[marc2003]
