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

This is an affront to opening ceremonies. What an absolute shit show.

A shit show, you say.
Would be more appropriate to have been held in the Loovre

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

No baguettes
No pan au chocolade
No croissants
No brioche
Very disappointing so far.

We'll cut prices at a stroke...

 

[Xhavenjoe]

The opening ceremony is in sane

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Right, I've given it a good go. I'm fucking it off now.

Who’s the Masked Torchbearer going to be?

I’m going for Sibierski.

Charvet...

Cue loads of athletes with the flu next week…

 

[MCFC1993]

Looking at some of these larger team sizes compared to the UK, we clearly have a policy of only taking people who are competitive in terms of getting a podium spot and won’t fund many outside of that, whereas some of the other countries clearly have a different funding policy.
Or have I got it wrong?

You are but our teams are getting larger as we become more competitive.

50-70 medals predicted by UK Sport.

Niger? Military coup? Who’d have guessed??

 

[Gabriel]

Watched for less time than it takes to run the 800 metres.
