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

Huge controversy in the women’s 1500m final, with one of the Kenyan runners taken off the podium via disqualification after a scuffle with a Ethiopian runner during the run, which I think was actually more the Ethiopian’s fault than the Kenyan’s.

He’s moving the bar up for his next run to try to break his own WR.

First try he cleared legs and body but clipped the bar with his arm.

Let’s hope for the same from Cocky Kerr tomorrow night. 1500 metres a blue ribbon event for me

Fingers crossed because I don’t like Ingerbritsen.

Second of three possible attempts at the WR ended in the same outcome.

Duplantis (Sweden), who already has the gold in the men’s pole vault, trying one last time to beat his own WR.
