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

The windsurfing is a joke format. British girl absolutely dominated this event, then has to go into a final where they all start even. Fucking daft

Same thing happened to her in the worlds.

Unbelievable Geoff

She was taking part, she wasn't allowed in the warm up area as they'd changed the entrance rules and she allegedly hasn't been told.

She wasn't taking part, she'd pulled out (with injury, apparently).

Same as the BMX one then. Way some of these sports are structured are ridiculous.

Top 30 times now apparently.

Ledecky is apparently now tied with Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina for the most gold medals all-time for a female Olympian.

But the 800m was her last event of these games, so she won’t have a chance to go clear unless she competes in the next summer Olympics.

16 mins injury time in France v Brazil football. SIXTEEN! Even the commentators are querying it. France are losing 1-0

21 mins now! Oh, FT. Was there a major injury or was it a case of trying to get the home team to scab a couple and win!

She was hence why she wanted to access the warm up area. They've later said hours later she pulled out through injury but sounds like a cover up after someone messed up.

That's not my understanding of the chronology of events. Going on what I read earlier, she tried to access the area after she'd pulled out. If that was wrong, fair enough. I'm going on what I read.

Nephew's swimmer (he's a coach) picked up a bronze in the mixed relay tonight. Very proud.

Same as Morocco vs Argentina. Dunno what's going on. Must have hired PGMOL to run things.
