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

Can't underestimate timezones of the Olympics either, this will be the most watched Olympics in Britain since London. I remember the Tokyo thread on here and it was much quieter.That's not a huge surprise. Every country wants to do well at their home Olympics, and the benefits of that extra investment usually apply for the Olympics after that too. But then things go back to normal. We're still much better than we were when I was a kid. One gold medal in Atlanta. Three in Barcelona.
Brazil did well in Tokyo, and I suspect France will do well in Los Angeles. Japan arguably haven't had that rollover from Tokyo in Paris, but it's hard to tell until it's over, because you never know when each country's best events are coming.
So I expect we'll be stronger in LA, I think a lot of countries will be aiming to do well there due to the commercial benefits.

I am sure the commentator just said if you get 12 points in a round you win; our guy just did?

That’s the thing with the Olympics it’s very fine margins to win, so a close silver is still a silver (not having a pop)
That's my point. I've said a few times how many came so close to gold but didn't. We've been on the "losing" side too many times for this to be a "great" Olympics for Team GB. It's been good so far, not great. Yee (favourite), Pidcock (favourite) and the rowers pipping the Dutch are examples where we've "stolen" gold. But otherwise we've been beaten into silver far too many times.

Wasn’t he 12 0 up in the first round?I think it's if you get 12 points clear in a round you win.

That’s the smoothest baton changes I’ve seen from a GB 4 x 100 metres relay (women)

That really made me laugh out loud. (I’m easily amused) I nearly choked on my TimBit Canadian doughnut!! :-)If KLT wins a medal does it go on the GB medal table or does it go on separately given the scousers aren’t part of the country?
