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

[MCFC1993]

Bradley Sinden into the semifinals, looked good.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Wow.....that's proper racing.

 

[MCFC1993]

Joint first in the women's kite, still more races to come.

 

[MCFC1993]

Sinden wins the first round in the semifinal.

Close fight though.

 

[MCFC1993]

Loses the 2nd round, final round will decide it.

How the hell do you find out you’re good at pole vaulting, how do you even get into it?

A lad I was in the RN with was straight into the RN Team when they found out he could actually do it

 

[WickyWain]

Gold in the sailing.

 

[MCFC1993]

Sinden well beaten in the semi.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Women on hoverboards...what's not to like

 

[BringBackSwales]

Gold in the sailing.

Is there any other golds at stake today? I don’t understand how the sailing works tbh, lost faith in the windsurfing when our girl won by miles and then went into a final on level footing

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Gripping stuff

 

[Protein Junkie]

Sinden well beaten in the semi.

Very disappointing to be honest but at least Aldridge won the Gold in the Kite. Time for Emma Finucane

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

This kite surfing is pretty exciting!

 

[MCFC1993]

That women's kite was brilliant to watch, nice to get another gold on the board!

 

[Eccles Blue]

Ellie Aldridge gets a Gold in Kite whatchamacallit on water!! Well done.

 

[MCFC1993]

50 medals for team GB, hitting the bottom end of the UK Sport target of 50-70.

Be nice if we could pick up 10 more medals, I reckon we can.

 

[bumbleblue]

Great to get a gold on the board !

 

[jimharri]

Well done to Ellie. I've never done it, and am never likely to, but I'm guessing that must be grueling on the back, arms and legs.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Gold! Not quite sure what I was looking at but seemed like she pulled off a very slick maneuver there! Good to get that one after the other British girl got stiffed in the final.

How many men’s gold is that out of the 13 GB have?
