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

[MCFC1993]

Great runs from the French and British girls

British record, nearly broke the magical 9min barrier.

I think Bird just broke the British 3000m Steeplchase record for men and women.

Edit - I'm talking rubbish she was nowhere near the mens.

Not men's. Men's is 8:07, she got just over 9mins but did break her own British record.

I'm going mad mate. Misread the time!

 

[MCFC1993]

Women's 200m coming up. I think Gabbie Thomas walks gold, Alfred takes silver, Brown takes bronze.

Neita and Asher-Smith need to be close off of the bend to try and snatch bronze.

The bbc always tries to be so clever with their video montages, why not just focus on the actual events?

Very very annoying isn’t it - hardly shown any live events tonight. Shambles!

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Can't be arsed with all of these entrances. It's worse than the fucking darts.

 

[super_city_si]

Quite a few of these lady 100m/200m runners are well fit. Not the man muscle roiders of the past

 

[SebastianBlue]

Women’s 200m final about to run.

We have Neita and Asher-Smith, but neither are tipped to compete for the podium.

I am not trying to objectify her, but Gabby Thomas is a genuinely beautiful woman.

 

[super_city_si]

WOW Thomas is rapid, great run

 

[SebastianBlue]

I am not trying to objectify her, but Gabby Thomas is a genuinely beautiful woman.

And she is now also a gold medalist!

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Decent performance by Dina there.

Dare I say, the most predictable race of the programme.

Neita and Asher-Smith were closer than I thought they would be.

They both did better than expected, to be fair to them. Very close to bronze.

Dead right! Fucks me off no end all the fuckin' hullabaloo. The same with the cabaret at the start of each race. Just get to the start line and get on with it. Wonder if they'll start doing this in the PL? Mind-numbing nonsense.

You should have seen the hammer final mate.

Some proper darlings in that.

She has just rang the big victory bell and I can assure you she is more pleasing on the eye than that famous french campanologist, Quasimodo

So far the Olympics are (again) brilliant to watch. Pure honest sport and pure athletes. It’ll be hard to watch football again. But that will be gone this Sats at 3PM.
