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

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Great question, can't answer that one as we know the French Open uses it.

Then again, given some of the addresses during the Opening Ceremonies were given in English mixed in with French, I'm still trying to figure that one out too.

I'd also gladly take quarante-quinze over the "bop-bop-bop...ole" incessant crowd outbursts too that I hadn't missed once the FO was completed.

Seems Les champs-elysses is their version of sweet Caroline.

The US women are giving Australia a run for their money in the rugby sevens bronze medal match.

Otamendi had a ridiculously good game versus Ukraine. He made three or four brilliant last-ditch tackles, which almost certainly prevented goals.

Otamendi?

How many over-23s is each country allowed?

3, I believe.

What an unreal ending. That will haunt Australia.

 

[Vienna_70]

The US has just beaten Australia with a try and conversion right at the death.

A brilliant conclusion to the game.

An American player ran practically the length of the field, and scored under the posts, giving her teammate a straightforward drop-kick to seal the victory 14-12.

Wasn't a BMX race, he's a mountain biker. Different discipline, different bike.

Thanks for telling me what I saw. I never said race, I said BMX. It was Kieran Riley, and it was BMX

 

[BringBackSwales]

It was.

It wasn’t

 

[Vienna_70]

It wasn’t

Is this the right room for an argument?
