Tokyo Olympics 2020

Well done Keely, from my home town as well.

Yep, excellent and got silver.
Crying with joy and thanking everyone who supported her in front of the interviewer, and then the interviewer says "What does this mean to you, Keeley?" Duh.

 

[Merlin5]

Ah, pity, Team GB Harry Coppell out of the pole vaulting, couldn't make 5.87m. Lavillenie also out, couldn't make 5.92m. But so far, 5.92m cleared by Duplantis and Nilsen.

Sport climbing would be more fun to watch if they was forced to drink 2 bottles of wine before hand.

If I were going to get on anything before the games, it would have been Duplantis winning easily. Mind you, the odds would have been crap.

One of the speed climbers out with injury.....

Ondra up next....come on lad, smash it

 

[mid_gen]

Ooof, gonna be tight if he makes it through.....

I've climbed once after a very heavy and late session. Being 10m off the deck, above sketchy gear on sandstone while the ground was spinning was terrifying! Never again!

I think she's only 19 so a very bright future ahead of her.

Lol, yeah. But for sure, he's a dead cert. He's got gold now and just went for a world record attempt at 6.19m. Just clipped it but might get it on second or third attempt.

 

[Merlin5]

I think she's only 19 so a very bright future ahead of her.

Definitely! She's capable of gold.

Great climb from Schubert.

Looks like Ondra may sneak through. Megos may lose out

edit:

Actually, if that injury was a bicep tear, Megos may take the last quali sport if Mawem pulls out.

Even better idea, the grips move in and out of the wall like wacker moles

 

[mid_gen]

Narasaki looking nervous and tight......and he falls early...

 

[mid_gen]

Well, can't complain too much at the combined scoring. Ondra managed to quali 4th after terrible speed round...

I can't see any way Bassa Mawem competes again, looks like his bicep tendon popped,

 

[dave28]

if you have not seen the 400 meters mens hurdles final, 2 of the fastest times ever recoreded were made, plus the 4th faster ever all in the same race.

 

[Street]

Yeh, that looked pretty nasty! Megos might just sneak in.

 

[GodAtum]

Do you think GB will be 5 or 6th place in the medal table? I hope Australia dont get any more medals.

 

[SoliD]

When you said that I wanted to check compared to Rio, I know we had a good games but don't remember finishing second last time out!

 

[dave28]

6th unless they get a really good day or two

There are plenty of other Olympic sports where a dead heat means sharing the medal. If two athletes recorded identical times in the 100m they wouldn’t make them go back and run again. It’s no different to what happened in the high jump, their best performances were identical and the jump off would have been like flipping a coin.

Did they both try and fail to jump a higher height bar or something?
