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

Good God
For those men with a weak ticker, please be advised that USA and Canada are on RTE now in the beach volleyball
 
Getting screwed by the referee in the hockey now as well.
What’s happened?

In the cycling are we guaranteed gold and silver in the men’s team pursuit? NZ are third and the commentators just said (I think) they can’t go for silver or gold now?

On another point, for anyone who’s not been inside a velodrome, the sides are so much steeper than they look on the telly
 
I've not watched hockey for years.

What's happened to corners? They seem to take them from that 30 yard line (sorry, don't know what it's called) instead of in the actual corner. When did that start happening?
 
World record holders from 2 months ago China out in the quarter-finals of the women's team sprint, hmm.
 
New Zealand now have the world record, quite clearly the state of the art equipment with the brand new track is causing these times.
 
Definitely, as New Zealand break Germany's record now. GB will have to beat their time from earlier to get in the gold medal match.

Think it's a combination of the equipment brought in for these Olympics and a fast track. Kind of expect world records in every track cycling event at this championships.
