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

Shooting isn’t the best TV sport.

I think squash is a poor TV sport too.

 

[bumbleblue]

How many shots do they get each?

Max 50 shots

I think squash is a poor TV sport too.

I haven't got a clue what's happening in fencing, even in slow motion.
What it's like watching from the upper tier in the arena, I can't imagine. They're bloody miles away.

Sat in gold position in the men's trap, nearly half way through.

BBC coverage of the Olympics has been awful up to now. Discovery+ is so much better. I'm glad I got it tbh.

 

[gaz76]

It’s a fucking disgrace that Discovery owns the rights to the Olympics, and the BBC can only show two live events at any one time.

It really shouldn’t be allowed.

Whilst I agree it should be on normal TV, the discovery app is pretty decent, can watch about 15 of the different sports that are on right now live.
Think I paid 3.99 for a month of it, cancel whenever yer want, which will be the end of the Olympics for me, so it's not that much of a pain to pay less than 4 quid for a decent service

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Max 50 shots

Really? They mentioned 125 shots in qualifying, which would make sense if one gets eliminated after every 25 shots. Unless the final is shorter.

ETA: Yep, elimination every 5 targets from now on.

BBC too busy sucking off rags and dippers to bother about the rest of us

The Americans have got to be disappointed coming 5th out of 6 in the shooting
