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

I love how they always have to mention that the women's record goes back to 1986, but they can't say that she was blatantly doping because she was never caught.

I thought it was the ‘88 US trials?

Hocker tried sneaking through just before the end of the bend and sort of got blocked and had to check his stride and go again, makes his charge through even more impressive

 

[SebastianBlue]

Started watching as the second half kicked off and based on the first 10 minutes, we’ll be very lucky to get out of this with the current score.

They could have scored two this half already.

It’s over.

I refused to leave the ring once and she turned round and punched me.

I was refused entry to the ring on numerous occasions

Kerr and his mate forgot there were other people in the race and just raced each other - arrogance/stupidity beyond belief

Kerr ran pretty much his perfect race. Jakob was brave and gave himself every chance, running to his strength. Nothing arrogant or stupid, especially from Kerr.
Sometimes, there's just a better athlete on the day.

Kerr ran a PB and a National record.

He even said himself in the interview he ran a brilliant race…. Just so happened someone else ran better.

 

[Gray]

Events that rely on subjectivity and not first over the line should not be in the Olympics. The judging is always open to question.

Just 12 golds up for grabs in the track cycling yet God knows how many in the Gymnastics.

Cue the ancient Brian McFadden gag.

Who designed the "Team GB" tracksuit? Stevie Wonder?

GB Schedule
7th August

The first event of the day is indeed golf and doesn't warrant further investigation!

Matthew Hudson-Smith v Quincy Hall v Kirani James in the 400m is the one to watch for me. We have a genuine chance of gold but Hudson-Smith will probably need to break his British Record from London, 3 weeks ago.
