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

Could be some day.

We have the favourite in the pissing around on a BMX in an hour too.

He was absolutely superb yesterday, not sure how they do some of those tricks. I had just been on a short rant about pointless "sports" in the Olympics when I watched that and loved it! I even enjoyed the shooting because we had interest in it. I guess that's why the frog coverage is just showing French athletes all the time, even when better things are happening elsewhere.
 
I'm sure it's already been mentioned in the 127 pages, but anyway. Those medals are bloody ugly.
When it boils down to it though, i've decided, all things in balance, that i'd love to be in the position to get my hands on one :)

(take your point though, they look like bird scarers from a fence)

Agreed, 100%. The achievement that the medal is a symbol of is absolutely outstanding. I can't begin to imagine what the feeling must be like to stand on that podium (any step). Just watching those girls that won the bronze in the synchro diving being interviewed, and one of the interviewers is the dad of one of the girls. You'd have to have a heart of stone not to find that emotional.
