Olympics - Paris 2024

[Pin-seeker]

It’s very easily avoided it’s only one channel , just don’t go onto that channel, don’t go into a thread about it - there you go - avoided

We know you don’t like it or have any interest in it , you nailed that cross already

How many posts have you made on the LIV thread?
Got to be in the hundreds

Anyway

Great first day for GB

Winning a couple medals on the first day doesn’t normally happen - very hard to feel sorry for the Aussies

Tough weather for the time trials


Peaty looks very strong but going to be tough tomorrow

Gymnasts look good to challenge for a team medal and will have a great changes in the apparatus finals

And brilliant start to the 3 Day eventing , going to be a great cross country tomorrow

Edit - forgot to add about the hockey lads , clinical win against Spain

How can a pool be slow?

It's very slightly up hill.

not sure why that would mean the IOC is bankrupt

Im sure the Middle East at some point will get the games . There and Africa will at some point get them

Morally bankrupt.

Like many sports, Olympics is ripe for sports washing with oil dollars

Lots of "buying" votes to get countries to back a particular country.

@Lord Tyrion might give you a infraction for this.

He’s not a fan of Skateboarding,prefers to watch the curling whilst he has his Horlicks

It's still rubbish

I'm looking forward to the rifle shooting. Prone position is particularly exciting.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

That’s great Bronze for Woods - 3 years after coming last and potentially looking to give up the sport , to keep going and get her rewards

Another good day for the 3 Day eventing , team sat in gold medal and also in silver for the individual

Just watched some boxing. Pretty awful. Then some Fencing where they deliberately didn't engage. Dull. Very dull. Rugby 7s, no Brits?

Poor old Balders working her butt off on the BBC trying to make out this guff is exciting. Flogging a dead horse. (Oops)

Turned off. Might come back for the track and field if nowt else happening.

Oh yes there are

They have so much gadgetry on their weapons it's like they're cheating...
