Paris Olympics 2024

Decent last leg from Zharnel. Bronze it is.

They mentioned USA not winning since Sydney... and the wait goes on.

Jack the lad.

We should be disqualified from that 100m for Louie's haircut.

I remember seeing Battocletti winning the euros with ease but thinking she no chance against this type of opposition. She proved me wrong there.

 

[marc2003]

Warholm next. Might win, might not.

Jonathan Edwards probably doesn't get the respect he deserves for his triple jump WR, almost 30 years later (Jeez and I remember watching him as a kid do it!) and no one can touch it.

In fairness, the winning jump in the Euros was 18.18 - only 11cm behind. It could happen at some point.

I've only been watching 10 minutes and I'm knackered. I need a lie down.

What happens if you're really good at beach volleyball but you're ugly? I assume you don't get picked?

 

[marc2003]

I know it's said repeatedly but this climbing is nuts. I can't even begin to imagine the strength and skill this must take.

 

[marc2003]

Insane new PB/NR. 3.52.61 to win bronze.

 

[marc2003]

3rd medal for Emma Finucane. Maybe not the colour she wanted but better than walking away with nothing.

 

[marc2003]

Snoop has really topped his dressage outfit there.

 

[marc2003]

High energy performance Billie.

 

[marc2003]

The end is always sad but it's not a funeral. They're going heavy on this (in more ways than one )

 

[marc2003]

BBC will have the same rights as this one, Eurosport have the European broadcast rights until 2032

I've been mostly alright with the coverage this time around except Gabby Logan and those asshat pundits on the athletics. It was infuriating to hear the crowd going mad over things they'd rather talk over than actually show. **** the lot of them. They simply are not fans of the sport. Glad Denise has ****ed off. If only the rest would follow. :/

Duplantis at it again in the Diamond league. Another world record for the freak.

2 other guys cleared 6m which should be huge news but....meh.
