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

No. Check the post I replied to....

"Quite something to win 3 olympics in something as hard as the heptathlon"

That poster was clearly, to me anyway, referring to winning the Olympic decathlon 3 times. As far as I am aware, no athlete has won the Olympic decathlon three times. Though I stand to be corrected on that.

They were talking about heptathlon and how incredible Thiam is to win three Olympic golds. It's staggering. Being the best over 7 events over a 12 year period. Winning it once is amazing, but can often be thanks to a bit of luck on the day(s), to do it over three Olympics is staggering.

That's not how I read it. But I'm not going to argue all night about it; if I'm wrong, so be it. It won't be the first time. Or the last! Anyway, there's a Sanatogen multivitamin and a bed with my name on them!
