Olympics - Paris 2024

[Beezerk]

Seriously I'm beyond obsessed. I start every day by planning what I want to watch and everything else around that!

I've never seen the Kayak or Canoe Slalom. Didn't know it was a thing. It's brilliant and nuts in equal measure. I thought the leader had capsized until I realised doing a roll thingy is required. Love it!

Ditto but we are away for the weekend so we’ve been following it closely on the radio. The moment where the French guy won Judo gold yesterday was radio magic

Mrs H has the Limpics on morning, noon & night. I love sport but she’s OD-ing on it. 10 mins ago I was offered a coffee, and she’s quite literally sat on the edge of the sofa - no coffee yet.

I think any French victory comes across well. As a home nation they do a proper party. The swimmer was great, and the triple medal in the bmx was amazing too.

Try to switch on one of those fringe sports in a couple of weeks, see how much she is into sports then ;-)

The coffee has arrived, and includes 4 biscuits to “shut me up.”

What a race from the girl in the 100m, absolutely rapido

Michael Johnson is SO good in the studio.

100%. Not really liking Jas Sawyers and Paula Ratcliffe sounds constantly breathless, and annoying. Johnson, Cram and Backley all work for me though...plus Andrew Cotter for the laughs!

Think I've got the old geezer crush on Daryll Neita. What a great run, excellent attitude after a near miss, and a lovely lassie to boot!

Why is Mark Foster wearing trousers designed to fit a skinny 15-year old?

Just found out Denise Lewis is the same age as me. She’s clearly made better lifestyle choices.

Katie Ledecky with another stunning swim to win her 9th gold and 14th medal in total

It does show how good Phelps was though - 28 medals and 23 of them gold

And how good was that 4x400 - brilliant last leg from Bol

Yep. MrsA and I were thinking she looked so perfect for her pre-race walk-on she could've been a cgi avatar designed by a teenage boy.

Possible infraction for sexism coming...

Denise Lewis......gosh! Sigh!

Right - hockey - go boys!

I’ve just been banished to Mordor for switching channels…

 

[Slime]

Very poor from the hockey lads, very poor.

 

[BrianM]

First time I've watched a Hockey match today, GB should of put that to bed when the Indians were down a man, far too passive when should of being going for it.

 

[AmandaJR]

This made me laugh...

 

[AmandaJR]

We've been robbed in the shooting. That's a joke.
