I say the same about golf and football

And breakdancing

16 year old out in the last 16 of the Archery, need to shoot much higher against the Korean.

Assigned sex is literally just what gets put on your birth certificate. Nothing to do with genetics.

Your spouting nonsense

 

[MCFC1993]

I am certainly not an expert but that’s what the commentators said on the NBC broadcast…

Probably just a commentary error, Rupp definitely got silver behind Farah in London.

Those Korean archers are machines

 

[give it to gordon]

And breakdancing

Is that in the Olympics ?

 

[maxwellblue]

Is that in the Olympics ?

Yep, first time this Olympics

 

[give it to gordon]

Yep, first time this Olympics

What next line dancing !

 

[MCFC1993]

Bronze in the rowing in the women's eight.

Romania were miles ahead.

 

[MCFC1993]

Gold in the men's eight, rowing, absolutely pissed it, brilliant.

Up to 10 golds for team GB.

 

[MCFC1993]

Womens 800m repechage's about to start, think I like the idea. More athletics, athletes get at least 2 races. Only the winner going through makes it brutal.

 

[maxwellblue]

What next line dancing !

Or skateboarding..............oh wait

 

[BringBackSwales]

Brilliant belting out of the national anthem by the men’s eight plus cox, clearly no despicable dippers amongst them

 

[MCFC1993]

Easy for Kishane Thompson.

Gutted for Azu, all that training to false start in the heats. Chance to redeem himself in the relays.

Not sure what he's complaining about. The replay was pretty clear.

Have to say, I’ve enjoyed this Olympics more than any other.

Is there not a better solution than stapling an A4 sheet of paper with the athletes name to their stomach in 2024. Would do my absolute head in running with that on there, can they not just screen print it on the vest?

It’s been great. The French get it. It creates a rousing atmosphere.

My girlfriend said exactly the same thing last night!

Hang on, you aren’t my girlfriend are you?…

It looks cheap and tacky. Are the IOC that short of money?
