Paris 2024 Olympics Thread - 11th August (pg 430)

[blue whippet]

Bol ran 47.93, that is world class.

Incredible.last leg, she didn't even look like she was out of breathe, almost like she was jogging.

 

[Vienna_70]

Fantastic mixed 4*400 relay final.

A brilliant bronze. Probably the best we could have hoped for considering the opposition.

Bol ran 47.93, that is world class.

Staggering run from the Dutch quartet. And well done to the British quartet.

 

[blue whippet]

Have you heard the stuff about Shelley Anne Fraser Price not being allowed in the warm up area ?

Bol ran 47.93, that is world class.

Second fastest of all time - not sure it gets counted in the list because there is no electronic start - but that is the level she runs at.

Macintosh is ridiculous. 17 years old and 2 gold medals.

Not sure what the issue is there. She wasn't taking part in the race; why would she need to be in the warm up area?

 

[give it to gordon]

Where can I watch highlights of the cycling ?

 

[MCFC1993]

Get in there Alfred, wiped the floor with her.

Neita unlucky in 4th.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Brilliant race.

 

[jimharri]

That was ridiculously easy for Alfred. Richardson was never in contention.

 

[Vienna_70]

Get in there Alfred, wiped the floor with her.

But see how far off the world record her time was, and it was set 36 years ago.

There’s no way Griffiths-Joyner wasn’t on PEDs.

Those Seoul Olympics, and any records set there, are best described as dubious.

Also wind-assisted, but not counted as such, I've read.

I believe wind was also a big factor on the day, most of the times that day were scrubbed but the wind gauge failed in the women's 100m.

They showed the history of the 100m in a montage before hand and I did say, look at the women now; muscular and slender, the women in the 80's and early 90s were built like blokes.

 

[bumbleblue]

Aw Bless Darryl hope she medals in the 200m.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

I do like the mixed relay, thought we'd have a good chance of medalling but less sure now Bol is in for the Dutch.

They need to push it towards the back end of the meets, after the 400 individuals are over. I'm sure all the big names would run if that was the case.

 

[dadnlad]

Whens the plastic chair or bin throwing event
I think nailed on gold

 

[WestGorton]

Aw Bless Darryl hope she medals in the 200m.

She deserves it.

 

[MCFC1993]

It's probably due to the other relays later on that they don't.

Not too sure it would have changed too much, we would have had a better chance with Hudson-Smith and Dobson.

Not convinced Mclaughlin would have ran for the US, she seems a bit race shy.
