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

[Elbow beards]

I've tried it and I couldn't get up the route. It's a 6b grade, which was about my limit when I used to go twice a week.

I watched the women's bouldering semi earlier, which was fantastic. But Janja Garnbret is so far ahead of everyone else that unless something crazy happens, she's almost certain to win.

Ye just watched that, unbelievable strength. Like spider-woman.

They're like rats up a drainpipe

Scousers at a turnstile.

 

[smevchenko]

Speed climbing is mad

I wouldn't be as fast falling from the top

Pretty cool photobomb by a whale during the surfing.

It came 3rd.

Go on Wales, a bronze. Our first trophy.

Sky Brown in silver, needs to find .4 on her next run for gold.

I didn't realise that women could get a bouldering semi.

Hardly missed a minute of olympics during the first week, now Im in Lanzarote and the only thing I get on tv is Spanish water polo and men's beach volleyball. Gutted.

Lmao did I hear that right? The Japanese skateboarder was named after a coconut because she was born in the mountains and her mother wanted to be reminded of a tropical climate. Has to be the most Partridge line I've heard so far.

Can you not get discovery+ on your phone?

 

[GornikDaze]

Great cameraderie in the skateboarding - they all look really chilled

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Park is so much better than street in skateboarding. In street they spend more time on their arse than they do on the board.

Tell @Eccles Blue that Womens Boulders is an event and not a fantasy.

Dont think so, thats the old BT sports right? I take its not free?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

That new Kent fire engine needs to get down to the Place de la Concorde - the two commentators have just self-combusted.

No its not what BT Sport was. Not free either, a few quid but can be cancelled after the 1 month.

 

[MCFC1993]

Sky Brown guaranteed a medal.

Sat in silver, with the Japanese woman in bronze left to go.

Some performance from Sky, she only dislocated her shoulder a few days ago.

Fell on it again in quali earlier so fair play to her

There’s a lot of good looking teams in the track cycle based on what we’ve seen so far. I’d think 4 golds out of 12 would be a magnificent achievement
