Paris Olympics 2024

Just one more half day of competition left tomorrow, last events starting at 1400. And then the summer of televised Freeview sport will be over.

Yeah, it's going to be really strange. The sports have kind of just rolled on and on since June. I won't know what to do with myself.

Awww, Denise Lewis is leaving.

I'm glad you posted, I switched straight off after the relay finished so I never got to saw it. Luckily, it's still there on iPlayer and it brought a tear to my eye.

Australia's breakdancing was rather.... comical. I know where she got her set idea from:

France gave the USA a game in Basketball. Got within 3pts with 3mins to go but then Curry decided to just 3 point it. 6pts with 30 secs left

Curry is just ridiculous

I don’t watch a lot of basketball but that was a great game. It felt like France were clawing back but those final few minutes from Curry were incredible.

Hassan wins women's marathon for Netherlands in a new Olympic record time, but she also won bronze in the 5,000 and 10,000M at this Olympics pretty incredible.

Great finish there with a coming together.

Didn't know there was olympic wrestling. I thought wrestling was all faked.

I think olympics without wrestling wouldn’t be the olympics. Like gymnastics and running, it was one of the original sports in the ancient games. Or maybe not gymnastics. I just checked.

We've not won a medal in wrestling since 1984 and not had a competitor since London according to Wiki so it gets minimal coverage on the beeb!

Watching the women’s clean & jerk, can’t believe the weights being pulled!

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

Which means we've won a medal on every day of the games which I believe is the first time

Emily Campbell just lifted 162kg. That's like lifting two of me.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Nearly everyone has finished in this weightlifting bar the Chinese lifter who ain't even started yet!

No issue with how much flesh any of the athletes want to show off, they're pretty much all prime specimens of humankind

After watching weightlifting I'd like to revise my earlier statement

My Aussie mate says it's a meme fest down there at the moment.

Certainly creating a lot of posts, this probably my current fav.

Still, she'll be remembered.

What an end to the women's basketball

So close, inch or two from levelling it.
