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

Seems a bit daft the BMX one. Should be points accumulated like other sports.


Best overall got boxed in by others during the final. Surely the Australian must be a bit embarrassed? Whole thing looks farcical and disorganised.

So sad she couldn't at least get a bronze, she took losing well though.

Bloody hell if there was a gold medal for having a chill perspective on life, Beth S would be a lock in.

 

[jimharri]

I thought she was as much of a cert as you could get, going by her heats. She was untouchable in them. Not even a bronze. Wow.

 

[threespires]

Its like a child jumping up and down on a springy bed.
We've all done that

If you were achieving anything like the elevation they achieve you must have twatted your head on the ceiling quite a bit?

I just realised I have officially become an FOC as I watch Javier Mascherano coaching Argentina go up against France, coached by Thierry Henry.

I am now the one that will insist to disbelieving teenagers that both used to be big players before their were coaches.

That 10k race was enthralling. Grant Fisher USA took the bronze. First time in 56 USA has medaled in the event

The guy who so. The silver looked like Usan Bolt the last 50 meters!! wow

Did Galen Rupp not medal in it behind Farah in London? Or was that the 5,000m?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Jeez, Jan Torp has appeared on the BBC and the fuckers haven't got a chair for him. He's bumping on the burgers and morphing into Ronnie Rosenthal. Anyone seen Ian Thorpe 'n Ronnie in the same swimming pool or under the same crossbar and booting the cert goal into the stands?

I am certainly not an expert but that’s what the commentators said on the NBC broadcast…

Brilliant scenes in the men's BMX

Hahaha, how the fuck is BMX an Olympics 'sport' what next, Tiddlywinks.

Do you remember Tony Book as both a manager, and a player? If you do, THEN you're an FOC.
