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

[vincent]

was watching the news other day where they had cleaned it up and tested the levels that were showing safe, but then I am sure people are polluting it every day so a few days cleaning it won't stop it going to pot again

They spent 1.2 billion Euros cleaning it up. The Paris Mayor was on the radio Friday morning saying it was in perfect condition. Very embarrassing.

They should move the event to Tahiti. I doubt the competitors would mind.

Some time to try and get it back I guess. Looks a lost cause sadly though

 

[MCFC1993]

To be fair, only halfway, anything can happen, Pidcock still has time, won't be easy though.

Not sure if already mentioned but Bob Ballard has been taken off commentary duty following an alleged sexist comment.

Bob Ballard was referencing the Australian women's swimming team who had won gold in a freestyle relay.
